I think you're on to something, AzT. I know two tri chicks who are monsters on the bike. They're afraid of mass starts, because they're sure they'll crash. If they'd just try (tri) it, though. I do know one or two other women who would try racing, but their husbands are afraid they'll crash and be hurt (like Alex is with me). It's an uphill battle, for sure, but I have to think USAC could do a better job of attracting women to the sport than they do.
