1. first response in tweet .. "She doesn't look trans"..

The panty checkers can't be far behind. Can't have a successful female athlete in a male dominated field. She must be trans!

2. Never heard of Shirley Muldowney or Brittany Force?

Muldowney was top fuel world champion decades ago. Women in drag racing is nothing new.

5. Idiots see "trans" everywhere......

Those of us who know "fast women" truly get that "balls", at least in motorsports, are metaphorical! Arch-rivals Shirley Muldowney and Don Garlits, in one of their thousands of match races. ?itok=_sLVWLYh

7. I think Shirely "Cha Cha" Muldowney

Was racing before Garlitts moved to infront of the engine, everyone laughed until he won, She had an engine blow once and it fused her eyelashes to her cheeks. She had to have them trimed so she could see. Tough woman.

4. Erica Enders just clinched her 5th NHRA Pro Stock championship this last week

One of drag racing's top three premier divisions. She has won more championships than any woman in NHRA history and is just one behind the all time NHRA Pro Stock championship winner, Warren Johnson.

Brittany Force is currently the points leader in NHRA Top Fuel going for her 2nd championship. Motorsports is the only sporting discipline where women compete head to head against men
