And considering some regionals only had 30 or so drivers, 5 is quite a large chunk of racers.

At the oOple race last year there were 6 of us I think.

... GIRL POWER!!

best thing is, my other half is racing buggys at the same club, so i get to show him up if i beat him HEHE he will never hear the end of it from the other guys...
i do think tho that more women should get into the sport, the same with any type of motorsport too, i want to see women ACTUALLY driving the cars or riding the motorbikes rather than standing around slapped in sponsers waving flags or holding signs GET A REAL JOB lol

Well done, ladies.
