Thank you so much everyone for joining in and asking questions! Sorry if I couldn't get to some of you but it was great speaking with you guys and girls! :-)

The weight is only assessed with the car. So yes... it is best to have lightweight drivers!!

The biggest challenge is absolutely finding sponsorship. To be a solid all-around racecar driver you also have to be a good business person. It has been very tough, but I basically spend all of my time away from the track trying to put the funds together to drive!

Well someone needs to create a secret off-road racing club then!! :-)

Probably the fact that we are athletes! It gets very hot in those cars because there is no AC and we are basically enclosed in there with the engine. You have to not only have good core strength to feel what the car is doing but you have to be a good endurance athlete as well. The mental focus we must have through all

Yes I did. All of my investments go into my career :-)

Even though women are much more excepted today in racing, I definitely still face discrimination. I have built a tough skin though to block out the outside noise!

Actually in sportscars it can be a bit tough because I need to find a codriver who is the same size as me in order for things to work out smoothly with seat size and seat position. I have to be pretty flexible with understanding that in some cases I may have to drive in a seat that is much bigger, which means I will

I actually have no family history in racing. I was just a tomboy and loved sports. Racing just caught my eye as a young girl... and I'm glad it did! I would suggest that you definitely start out in go karts! It's the best place to learn your craft.

To be honest I don't know why that is. Maybe it is because we are able to get our speed and adrenaline out on the track and at home we need something more practical?

Personally, it hasn't changed a thing. I entered into racing as a woman so it is nothing "different" or "special" in my mind. I am just a driver! I think from the outside lots of people think it is great that I am able to what I do as a woman because there aren't many out there. I hope that through my career I can

I only race full size cars. I would LOVE to own a go kart though. Super fun and great training for when I get back into the racecar.

Hey Chris! Thanks for joining as well! I would definitely go with the M3!!

I do sometimes wish I had a sporty car to drive on the road... unfortunately I can't afford one though since I spend all of my money traveling to race events!

I am actually taken by Fall-Line Motorsports... and BMW :-)

I was introduced to racing when I was 10, and since I was a pretty competitive child it was hard for me not to want to join in. I got into a go kart when I was 13 and immediately fell in love! My future goals are to next year race a full season in CTSCC in GS and go for the championship. I'd love to move up to TUDOR

My first car was a Mazda Speed3, but now I drive a Toyota Tundra. It's the most reasonable thing to drive in Vermont when your hauling things around!
