What do you have against the girls? I realize they aren't the main event, but are they really the side show you treat them like? I like racing, good racing of any kind, and some of the best racing drama has been with the girls. Yet they continually get blurbs, and mentions and second rate press. I think Fiolek wrapped up a championship this weekend also, but yet gets last paragraph status under the headline "Dungey wraps up championship". If Dungey had wrapped up the title with a broken collarbone you guys at Racerx would have canonized him. Yeah I know you "let" them in the show, yeah I know you "gave" them 2 motos, yeah I know you "gave" them 15 min plus 1 lap, but is it really that hard to have a "womens race report", a "wmx words", or some sort of real press? Other than the story on JP and Ryno and her "transformation" for her title hunt (how'd that work out?) there really hasn't been much press to speak about. Thanks for letting me vent.

AF is tougher and rides with more heart than any male rider out there. When is the last time you have heard of a pro rider get up after a crash and finish the race with a broken bone? Exactly! She rates right up there with CP and what he has overcome to put in the season he has. The guy's can learn allot from her...

DC has nothing against the girls and is one of their biggest supporters. Myself on the other hand would love to see them racing only one moto on National day.

Don't be so quick to judge as the weekend still has a day to go.

They let the girls race, that is doing enough in my book. It is up to the girls to put on a show and make it worth watching. JP$ and Fiolek are entertaining to watch, but Whitmore and Gieger need to step up and run with the leaders. They used to be the front runners. The Balbi girl has potential. I am am a big fan of broads in general, so I have no problem with them out there on the track during that Nationals. I would rather see them then watch some freestyle show.

Did DC personally write those press releases? Doubt it so don't write like he isn't trying...

No one does more for MX than DC and MX Sports, despite what some people think...

Other than Ashley and JP and we are talking about C+ class speed out there. 4-10 is 8-12 second a lap slower than the top 2 girls. DC gave them a solid platform to race under this yr so he did his part. The level of competion is very bad right now. The best womans racing is on the other side of the pond. they need to shorten up the series to 6 races and try to get the the top 3 girls over there to race here.

I think the have promoted the women pretty well over the last few years. The class was almost non existent until lately, now they have both of their motos on race day.

They must be getting some attention, Ashley threw out the first pitch at the Pittsburgh Pirates game the other night.
