Very cool. There are usually a lot of negative comments when it comes to women racers, but to reference Kanye West "I could let these dream kill'as kill my self esteem or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams". Hopefully she goes in looking to bitch slap the hate'as.

Good luck this season young lady. Do your thing.

Just gotta make up that 10 second gap to the last qualifier and she'll be good to go.

It was much harder to qualify for an sx license a few years ago. Now you just have to set a semi fast lap at an Arenacross....you don't have to actually race. Hence if you look at Goldens results you see a DNS or DNF by every Arenacross she was at.

My time would be about a minute-and-a-half slower than Vicki's. How about the rest of you?

how long does it take to walk it? Pencil me in for that time slot. I may not be able to rip on an mx bike, but I can walk like a sumbitch! Gotta get the hips into it.

At least 90% of us, right? Tongue

She's lap me 2 times in a three lap race....and I'd have a 1/2 lap head start!

Then I guess you are smart enough to stay off of a professional SX track.

Pretty sure I'd go straight from the whoops to the mobile unit or the morgue. Good luck to her.

I don't see it as being derogatory to state the fact that she is well off the pace of making the show. Interestingly enough, there are usually a few posts of scantily clad women in any thread about a female racing dirt bikes.

I had to race Lisa Akin. I was fortunate to beat her when we matched up. She was faster than she looked.

At Atlanta 2 she was mid group with about 8 guys behind her time was what I saw on the screen over my seat.

She had a good lap going as time ran out but the bike quit in the turn before the triple.

How big a pussys are the guys she out qualified to some of you?

True, but irrelevant. Golden has taken advantage of a system that rewards lap times , not results. That's not to say she should be condemned, but labeling her a "trailblazer" is a bit of a stretch.

At A2 she was 15 seconds off Marvin, but 11 seconds faster than the KJSC 50s.

How can any of you cock jockeys even make fun of her? Class acts all you fast mufuckers but carry on boys, it's entertaining and it makes me chuckle.

Why does she wear a jersey that is way too big? Maybe it acts like a sail and slows her down. And she really is faster than Stewart?
