Absolutely. In fact, I may even suggest to my team that we field an all female drive team for the off-season we plan to attend. It will be difficult to find a female driver because of the exact problem that's addressed by these types of events. We had our secondary driver leave after the 2015 season for a variety of reasons, and while I am not pretending to know all of her reasons behind leaving, I know for a fact that the team environment was far less inviting for her than it was for her male counterparts. So in my opinion, this mess of a thread has had some positive effect and has led to *some* good discussion amidst the chaos.
