Women Racing Groups and Networks

We all know how important networking is in our daily lives, but many times, we forget that some of the best sources of information comes from groups of our peers.  Who better to ask about the daily struggles, the small wins and the large windfalls, and all the other nuances that being a woman in the male-dominated motorsports world entails?

In an earlier post, I spoke about how important it is to be on the women’s team for our sport.  But maybe you don’t know that many other women racing?  Here’s a few welcoming women racing groups that will help you get started.   Don’t be afraid to join them and share your story.  Ask questions.  Offer your advice.   Don’t be afraid to reach out and to utilize this tool– this women racing groups and network of resources–available to you.  We’re all in this together!
