This sport is accessible.....that is why i wanted to get into it....the members of our local club make everyone feel welcome no matter what age, gender, colour...granted there are other clubs that are not necessarily as welcoming in our area but that is to everyone not just women....but getting back when my husband told me he wanted to get into lawn tractor racing i looked at him and told him he was insane....after less than one full season here we are all getting into it....even my daughters who are 4 and 8...it is something we can do together as a family and that is one of the biggest draws for me...
