A number of years ago, two of the sons of one my friends had just started racing juniors. One of them was razzing the other about having lost to a girl. I told the one doing the razzing that if he was going to spend anytime drag racing, he'd better get used to losing to girls. What is impressive about the lists of women that people have named is just haw many women there are on those lists. Diversity in drag racing is as old as the sport-remember the Bean Bandits out of San Diego in the early 1950s? If you don't, just google bean bandits San Diego the following is one of many links that come up
