(expect, perhaps....the cockiness factor...
) only thing i can figure is that it attracts women to the sport....
when and if i get more competitive times, am i allowed to run in regular STS or must women stick to the ladies class?? just curious...
**edit: mods, feel free to make this a diff thread if you'd like, i know i'm gettin off-topic here....**
Yeah each region is different. Ladies classes were created to bring out more competitors who were afraid to compete against the guys. Some like it some don't. Ask anyone in the club and you will get mixed feelings. I can see what having a ladies class is good for. Guys are very cut throat - although my wife.... - ok I will not go there
You are allowed to run any class that is legal for your car. Either open class or ladies class. Roseanne Freeburger in her white Type R always runs in the open class. And she is in her 60s.
Although I have seen many fast females in all classes sometimes beating out the guys
