In fact, I guess that goes for ALL competitive endeavors...if you can't demonstrably do some thing better, you are not allowed to comment.

I didn't include the dozen+ DNFs. Remember, she still finished ahead of 45, of those "1000 male racers" who DIDN'T do that well/poorly.

But they didn't even sign up...it's not as if every racer in the world signed up to do the Suzuka 8 hour and she qualified fastest thus landing the seat. She is fast "for a female" so they signed her up, took tons of semi-cheesecake/glamor shot photos and she came in in front of several other nobodies who race "who's that" sponsored bikes...hurray!!! Seriously, who exactly races in the endurance class?

It would be exactly the same thing if a black guy entered the Suzuka 8 hour and came in 51st and I came on here posting how great he is...

"FIM- Brothers Ride

Tyrone Washington rode like the popo were after him on Sun, coming in 51st out of the 75 riders who started the race. Tyrone managed to bring the Cadillac, Soul Glo and Colt 45 sponsored Hayabusa in to 51st even after his all Negro pit crew got high, ate some ribs/collard greens and took off after only 4 1/2 hours. When interviewed by Jet magazine after his accomplishment, Tyrone gave a 45 minute thank you speech during which he thanked his Mama for raising him by herself, his boys back in the '213' and the good lord Jesus Christ without which nothing is possible..."
