Sex in a Race Car ?!

So, here I am reading an article about Chrissy Wallace and have to wonder if a female Nascar driver will ever rise above the fray.We've all seen attempts by the female sex take a run at auto racing's elite class by the likes of Shawna Robinson ,Erin Crocker and Patty Moise over recent years but yet to have seen any remarkable results.







My question : Is it the brain , the body or a little bit of both ?





Men and women are different, everyone knows that. But, aside from external anatomical and sexual differences, scientists know that there are many other subtle differences in the way the brains of men and women process information.



One of the most interesting differences appear in the way men and women estimate time, judge speed of things, carry out mental mathematical calculations, orient in space and visualize objects in three dimensions, etc. In all these tasks, women and men are strikingly different, This may account, scientists say, for the fact that there are many more male mathematicians, airplane pilots, bush guides, mechanical engineers, architects and race car drivers than female ones.

So now we have scientific proof that the lady drivers do not see a race track environment the same way that the men do.



There are some important physiological differences between the sexes that can't be overlooked or overcome as well.

The female heart is smaller relative to body size than that of a male and produces 10% less oxygen carrying capacity to the blood stream thus their physical stamina is less than that of a male.



Here's the rub.



I realize that these ladies are reasonably successful on the short tracks on the Nascar circuit But,those races require only a few laps to cover the distance and not much change to the race tracks characteristics over a given period of time.So, once the chassis is set-up not many changes or communication with a crew chief is required.



Once the ladies try to wrestle around a heavy and many times obstinate Stock car for five hundred miles I don't think their physical stamina is really capable nor is their brain or cognitive skills up to the challenge of making the proper chassis adjustments to remain competitive for the distances necessary for a Nascar Cup race.

Sorry Girls :) ..Just one man's opinion.



What's you thoughts on the matter?
