Some (gawd awful) Disney show (Phineas and Pferb or something). There is a girl who is feigning interest in auto racing because the driver is cute. The boy is talking about how great this race is. The girl says, "And it's so interesting. First they turn left. Then they turn....." and the conversation trails off to nothing.

Got a chuckle out of that. Of course, given that I have a daughter, I didn't love the sex role stereotypes. I have hoping of sharing track days with her in a decade or so.

The stereotyping is of course horrible. Especially when you look at the ratio at HPDEs (:hehe Smile

.

My wife wonders why I find driving around in a circle so interesting. (road courses are topologically circles.) She's come to watch a couple of times. She says "every few minutes you go by -whoosh-. then you are gone, then you go by again. -whoosh-." There is a very deep and broad lack of interest. My daughter (19) is the same. My son (21) is somewhat interested. He's been karting and to an autocross school. Someday a DE maybe, but he's still not that into it.

Good luck

john
