Kaz,

       Sometimes you amaze me with your comments..........Leslie had a great year on her bike and rode the hell out of it and it seems like you are trying to take away some of the credit she deserves by finding out who "really" does the wrenching?? She has a pretty big shop in Texas that she owns, who cares who does the wrenching or who pays for it, who does the wrenching on your bikes?

SKaz, did you read the article, Deb Dross does a lot of her own wrenching and paying.  

Most of the racers I know do their own work and very few ever have anything that resembles a sponsor, unless it is a bike shop or someplace that gives them a racers discount.  Usually it is their own business or wallet that sponsors them.  That is how it is in LSR, no fame or fortune... That's why Girls just want to have fun, like the rest of us, that is why we LSR.

Back to topic, great article rocky

Isn't that what life insurance is for, to pay off the bills when I'm gone?  :evil:

Excellent article Rocky thank you so much for including me! I really liked the flavor of it and that it included such diversity in women racing as there is much diversity in the women that race. I think our favorite part of it all was the picture of the youngest Klock at the end! I watched a video of her with much admiration and that last pic just says it all!  :cheers:

Great job!

Debbie

PS: for Kaz, here's another pic of me replacing my O2 sensor at the track. It's one of over a thousand that Todd has taken of me working on my bike. Since you asked, I am still paying for my own bike, other then sponsorship money and parts received which I'm both proud of and appreciative to have, I've paid my own way, I've done my own work, I've rode my own bike. I'm extremely proud of that fact but that doesn't leave me with any less respect of the many women who are now racing! Getting out there and doing it is what its all about. Does it really matter who foots the bill or provides the ride?

Deb---It influnces my "admaration factor" :-D when I know someone has "Personally Done" a lot of their own work. :cheers:

You may Not be 1 GETTING ALL THE ATTENTION ,and if You are {I'm ENVIOUS :oops:}!
Alls I know is "" ANOTHER"" World Record Holding Female  :x is getting All this attention for setting 1,2,3? SOFT/OPEN LSR Records on SOMEONE ELSE'S BIKE :?!
Now I have Nothing against anyone Racing someone else's{Not You Deb}Bike,but then getting all the Glory for WHAT?
SITING ON IT A TWISTING THE THROTTLE wow thats Tuff :?
Deb I'm a Crabby SOB this Winter{Broke & Hungry} !
So PLEASE don't let my Ragging{It's NOTHING PERSONAL} about SEXISIUM in Racing bother you:|.
IT JUST HIT'S A raw nerve thats all.
Hope to see you ,and the rest of the Girl's  next year.
Kaz.................

Don't be too hard on Kaz.

I'm sure he works on most of his stuff himself -- like the Subaru and Ford Diesel he's maimed and tried to sell off.  He's undoubtedly a better rider than mechanic-- just ask him about his upcoming national championships.

Kaz, you're funny.  The world is not against you, I know you feel like you got burnt over some drag race male/female thing which gives you sour grapes on the subject, but we do have good LSR girls.  Rocky's article is a good one touching on just a few girls that race and is all around good PR for all of LSR. 

Does it really matter how much anyone works on their LSR vehicle.  I am sure your Hero V.R. (#46) hasn't got his hands dirty with his bike in years.  Does that make him less? 

I also can see you are frustrated with the Vrod thing.  It may be time to just try a Turbo Busa, but then you will have no excuse when Trillium crushes your max speed  :-D

In this year of THANKSGIVING, I'd like to tell all of you how thankful I am to be able to learn about your experiences, experiments, builds, celebration of those who have reached their dreams (and continue to dream for more), are still reaching for their dreams, remembering those we have lost, and waiting for those who will be greats. 
I want to thank all of you who come to SW and give me that welcoming hello, and make me feel a part of something so special. 
Thank you too all of you for the memories I have been given.
May there be many more memories, dreams reached, and dreams discovered in the year ahead.

Have a safe and memorable Thanksgiving everyone.
