(I don't plan to enter, lets just call it long term planning or information searching boredom)
None. In fact, in 2012, Hellyer had a women's team pursuit program and we sent 15 women to Elite Nationals where they won a lot of medals. USAC was very excited and happy to have so many women participating. The promoter was happy because it increased the racing fees and action. And it was the first elite national championship where women out number men at an event.
Bring on the 50 men if you can!
