I said he was a black guy. Have I offended someone ?
My point was, he must have been so good at riding motocross that colour
never entered the equation. Same goes for women. Sheer talent will win
through every time. I'm not saying there isn't racial and *** bigotry in
sport, but when somebody comes along with immense ability that is impossible
to ignore, it opens the door wide for all.....!

I guess you're just a thoroughly disgusting person then Mitch....
It should have been written "I guess you're just a thoroughly disgusted
person then Mitch...."
Mitch
Duly ignored.
Ya I wonder if "Melissa" is actually a 48 year old male FBI agent and this
is an elaborate sting operation. ;-)
There would be more women racers if:
1. more women showed interest in the fact that they wanted to race
2. proved their talent to team managers
Most men would love to race, too, but team owners are only going to select
the cream of talent whatever sex, and currently the best just happen to be
men. Of course that could change. That also and the fact that history wise,
women have not been very successful and that in itself could put team owners
off.
I for one wouldn't mind, and even would encourage, any woman that wanted to
race.
I think your message therefore, Melissa, is a bit redundant, and I suspect
that some thicko male has been winding you up!
Good luck with the quad4 racing!
