What is the hype about? This is just another Jessica Patterson getting lapped in the pro class. I am all about women ridding, but lets not tell them they are stars when they are mid pack C riders...
Not sure how many mid-pack C riders finished 18th at LL in one of the most competitive classes.
The Shop
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
odds are against hodges being more than the level of "fast local" and making it in pro racing, but i wont be upset if she does.
There are some very fast girls.
It'd be very cool to see a woman qualify outdoors with the men.
In fact, the top "WMX" riders at LL would barely be able to win the C class. I'm not gonna pull up the lap times but go take a look yourself. You can even compare them with some 85cc small wheel classes, lol.

I don't understand the hype either, tbh. I understand this was practice, but on a random Wednesday in '09 i was at Bostwick Creek on a stock yz125 and i dusted Ashley Fiolek all day long. She regularly practiced there too.
Pit Row
She then proceeded to get the best of me in the motos. Not blow your hair back speed, but good Local A rider speed.
1 year in practice and it was huge , she was the only one of the females hitting it and i was impressed.
I still think they need there own class though wich i hope they get back in the future.
Also it kinda bugs me watching a few people male or female on full blown factory bikes, and others that arent race each other, its like lining up a ford focus against a Mustang GT500 how exciting is that?
Its always bugged me in this sport how people in the same race have such different equipment.
Would the rider still have won that day if they where on equal equipment, i think in most cases the same person would still win but it would likely be closer and a lot more fun to watch.
Any girl that rides is okay in my book.

Hopefully that clears it up for you.
