How many female Buzzbomb owners actually track their cars?

I've met one, and waited forever for a point-by from another.

I'm in Texas.

Friend of mine was at PIR the end of October and thought he spotted a Buzzbomb Gal out there during a Porsche event.

I be just north of the Dallas area. Both female drivers were encountered at MotorSport Ranch, which is in Cresson, TX, just southwest of Fort Worth.

The wonderfully pleasant woman in the green Exige shared it with her husband and drive in seperate run groups. They parked near the rest of us so I had opportunity to chat with them both.

The girl in the purple Elise I never did meet face to face, but she was out there tearing it up all the same. Needs to work on mirror awareness, but that will come soon enough.

I'm glad to have the fair sex represented at the track. My wife, after getting a ride with Jefferson, has even expressed interest. Maybe this Spring she'll share the car with me in a different run group.

There are quiet a few in CA.

Also, a lot of couples who do track days together. And in couple of those instances, the wife is faster.

My wife loves taking our Exige to the track. When we were talking about moving, one of her first questions was how far to the closest road course.

Boy....did I spend many years tearing about that rough ol' Texas World Speedway.

My Chi-town girlie friend runs that Autobahn track in Joliet, Illinois. Looks to be a VERY nice facility.

Wonder if my compadre Lotusmark has rolled on that track?

Most rookies drive their mirrors amigo!
