Out of curiosity how many successful women race in NASCAR

Double fail

stop while you're behind

I call it like this

I normally don't respond to posts like yours, not sure why I am this time

Who cares how many female drivers there are in Nascar?? There are plenty of professional female drivers in the world. Your statements are ridiculous and immature at best.

Brian52682 · 10-06-2011, 03:54 PM

So you all mean to tell me she could handle this car? She obviously couldn't because this is purely an inability to handle the car. It is on a straight away road and not accounting for adverse driving conditions.

I'm glad that no one was evidently hurt (other than the Camaro)

...............but your description of the conditions this morning coupled with children in the car makes me wonder if she had any idea of what she was doing when she disabled the traction control!

(..........and are you sure it was your wife driving and not YOU???

OOOHHHHH, YOU IN TROUBLE NOW!!

Dad's in the house!!!!!

And Brian, I would be careful if you come to CamaroFest......there are many of us "women who shouldn't be driving a sports car" who could woop up on you!!!

Brian52682 · 10-06-2011, 03:56 PM

I know my cars limitations and I'm not going to push it or put myself in position to lose control of it because I have driven similar cars in the past. I know that based on the pictures I see she did not know what she was doing, just an observation. I should have just kept my mouth shut lol. Sorry all, I will now quit.

Just because she had an accident doesn't mean you should make broad, sweeping generalizations about how 'women shouldn't drive sports cars'.

Look at it this way. Billy over there is an idiot, and he smashed his new SS between two trees. Does that mean men shouldn't drive sports cars? Think about it.

^ this!

Aw Brian, what's a little push back on the observations(cough,cough,SMACKTALK)? Someone would have said it eventually, you just beat them to the punch!

fbodfather · 10-06-2011, 04:02 PM

We have some chassis engineers that are women and they will beat the living daylights out of most men drivers!

So it has nothing to do with male versus female..........

Now - to the O.P.

Here's a script for you.......

".......Honey -you know, I think the only way I can forgive you for wrecking the car is if you were ..........to..........oh................. I dunno...........mebbe--- let's see...........I KNOW!!!........

.............BUY ME A ZL1!!!!!.............

(...........no need to thank me......

Please answer this, Have you had the chance to drive an SS? Stock or modified? I know you have a V6, but these 2 cars are different animals.

People that have not driven the V8, really shouldn't be given insite on how the car handles or what it can do. Everything from power, breaking streering, and handling is different. If you're not use to drivng it, it can bit you in the ass when you take safety features off.

Yes, I have driven an SS. I used to own a (heavily modified) '97 Z28, an '89 IROC and have driven several 5th gen SS's (as I test drove multiple Camaros from when they came out to when I bought mine this year and also a buddy of mine's who has done a lot of performance mods to his SS). I'm well aware of the power of the car, and I did not offer any insight on how the car handles or what it can do.

I had my rear end slip out on wet freshly sealcoated asphalt when it was about 50 degrees out here. I applied what I would consider moderate throttle quickly, and before I knew it the rear end had swung out about 30 degrees. I had already started correcting by the time I felt TC start applying the brakes. So even with it on, you can get yourself into trouble. I was lucky that I didn't hit any curbs.
