"well, I love race with the guys because today the PRO guys are considered the TOP class. Unfortunately the PRO girls class is not. Race with the guys I hope can put undestand the people that the womens (the top ones as me and Jessica etc.) deserve to be considered at the same level as the PRO guys.

If you're fast and good, you should be recognized and compensated regardless of gender.

That is changing more and more as women everywhere are stepping up the pace and being taken more seriously. But until we have a gal who can leave RC or Jeremy behind, it'll be tough. There isn't as large a pool of talent from which a female supercross star can arise and many women do have some physical obstacles facing them men don't--but our day will come.

Maybe that is the role the women's class should play, training ground for women to get their feet wet and move on up. I know I wouldn't want to start out trying to compete with the boys in the Open Class or anything over the Beginner 50 class for that matter.
They are more prone to a.) take each other out and b.) are less likely to want to be passed by a woman and MORE likely to make a target of her because she is a woman! I’ve heard of guys trying to take out gals in PRACTICE just because they didn’t want to get passed. Now it’s true, they do this to each other too, but a ponytail sticking out from under a helmet is like waving a red flag in front of a bull for some guys.

So its not really the girls, just the promoters.
