Getting more females into racing

[Melz]

Now after running two relatively successful 'chicks brackets' as a part of the AFF drag days, I must say i'm really happy that there are starting to be a lot more women who are prepared to get out there and give it a go. But, what can be done to keep women in the sport???

There is even a group for women in motorsport called the "Australian Women's Motorsport Network (AWMN). That encourages women into all forms of motorsport.

So here's my question, what are some suggestions to keep women coming into motorsport...???

I would like to see in future another 'chicks bracket' at drag meets dedicated to the women that haven't raced or have had very limited experience at the drag strip, to encourage them to get out and have a go.... In their street cars. This bracket is for women who aren't used to racing and want to have a go, not for the experienced drag racers that we have seen in the past....
