Women Racing MX

[TimSr]

Of those women who know they will be attending Trikefest 07, how many of you will be racing Motocross? Would you be interested in running in a Women's class, or would you prefer to run in the regular appropriate classes and humiliate the guys? The third option is that you could run both, as most of you now know how physically demanding that is.

Please only vote in the poll if you are a woman who will be racing. I need to know how many to decide whether to create an additional class.

I'm gonna go with women's class.
After all Tim, I ride a girls bike

Never had a woman race yet at TF, isn't this a little "cart before the horse"? I think the participation would be great but how about starting out in the intermediate class.............

I would prefer to race in the all women's class. I have not raced since Smith Road and am not sure that my skills have improved since then, But I want to get out there and race for sure.

I think its like anything else, people are less likely to race in a class that they feel they do not fit into. I think a womans class is a great idea and will probably draw in quite a few new racers.

Actually, between last Trikefest and now, it seems we've cultivated some lady MXers (not the armchair type) in (where else?) OTC, and this class was mentioned by them, so I am putting the feelers out to see if we have enough for a class, and to spark the interest of other ladies who may be out there and considering it. Some of these "unsure" women would be less intimidated in a women's class, even though some of these ladies could easily compete with the men, and have.

The class we called "Intermediate" in '05 was for 200-250 4 stroke suspended trikes or similar, and its name was changed to "Mid Size Suspended" in TF06. Some of our ladies are not be eligible to ride in that class. A women's class would be an open class, unless it was large enough to split, which I dont see happening this year.

That's pretty cool if there's that many ladies up for it. I really don't care either way as far a class goes I was just imagining 2-3 riders running around on their own. That wouldn't make much sence.

OS, im pretty sure we have atleast 5-7 ladies that want to race.


The thought just makes me wish I had a chick that wanted to.


Move way, the chicks are taking over TF!!!!!

[350Xhilaration]

I think it's a good idea. Hope there are enough to fill a class.

Maybe I can pull my skirt down and run in that class

[3leggeddog]

my hats off to these women that are willing to give it a try.i know of atleast 5-6that will be up for it!

[dizasterzrfun69]

if quads were aloud i might be able to get my girlfriend to tear it up on her 400ex

[Jason Hall]

My wife sandy will race on her 200x.

[TimSr]

My wife sandy will race on her 200x.

Hey Jason, you can vote in the poll on her behalf provided SHE knows she is racing and has agreed to it. I dont think she posts on here. The question is whether she wante to run a women's class or just make YOU look bad!

[Jason Hall]

Ha, ha, she and the boys WILL make me look bad, I'm sure of that. Sandy will probly also race a atc 70 In the unsuspended class.

[Mrs.Mosh]

Anymore girls out there? Come on!! Dawn? How about Mrs. Raffa?

Tim, how many we need for a class??
