[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 94785, member: 16301"] Jeff, they can enter all the classes as far as I know. The problem is (stemming from a previously deleted thread) how to gain respect for Women in racing. The Women's Class helps to get them out there but they are treated as an exhibition from what was reported on Hangtown. That's where the discussion of the WML (or a separate Women's Class) came from, is it helping or hindering women trying to be taken serious in the sport? It is a very difficult call. Someone mentioned in the "dead thread" that the really good women riders race in the mens classes. I don't know if they race in both but it would help to bring up the level of competition in the Women's Class AND with that, the respectability of a Women's Class if they did race in both. What I mean is the Women's Class can help attract more women, if more women come to the sport to compete the level of skill will increase but, if the really good women riders compete only in the men's classes then the Women's Class will have a really tough time being anything but a stepping stone. It's really very similar to the dilemma of women trying to make it in any male dominated arena. You have to start somewhere (Women's Class) but if you don't get past the starting point (to the Pro Class) you are never really accepted as a serious competitor or contributor. I feel that there should be just as much respect for the Pro Women's Class as there is for the Pro Men's Class but there isn't. At the same time, I don't really see any need for a separate class other than to help get more women into the sport. [/QUOTE]
