I remember an article in Autoweek a year or so ago talking about her future in CART. The most striking thing about that article was the picture of her in a helmet with those green eyes of hers the only thing you see.

Someone on this board had that picture as their avatar at one point...

Edit: Found it.

Racer chicks are cool. Probably because they're as crazy as we are.

Everybody was saying that she would be the first girl to race in F1, because of her relationship with Bobby Rahal. No, not that kind of relationship, you people are sick. Anyway, when he got fired from his position with Jag, her chances of reaching that level went down considerably. Rumor had it that Rahal had all but gotten her a drive in F3 when he got canned. She did alright in Barber Dodge last year, but not as well as some people had hoped. It will be interesting to see if she can hold her own in Formula Atlantic....

I remember an article on her in GRM a few years ago. IIRC, she's been in England learning to race the past few years.

Bahaahha one of the questions in the interview:

"Are there times of the month when you are a more aggressive or angry driver?"

She's fast as hell but the hot pants and leather are kind of embarrassing. Time will tell if this "spread" proves to be a clever professional move.

This spread doesn't do anything for killing the idea of judging women on their abilities rather than how they look.

Wonder if Sarah Fisher would do something like that?

I'm guessing that a spread in major magazine is going to do nothing but make her sponsors happy. As well stated by Jennie Finch, softball hottie, and winner of ESPN Page 2's "Hottest Female Athelete" -- "exposure" is always good.

On another racing-related note, is this the same girl that ran the ALMS series in the now defunct DC Gran Prix last year? If so, and IIRC, she not only nicely fills out three layers of nomex, she also has a very impressive academic record.

Smart, hot chicks that can flat out drive
(even if they wouldn't give me the time of day )
