I bet a guy who is just is good couldn't get sponsored.

Wait... there are many examples right here on DM.

DrifterMama · Post by **DrifterMama** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 9:20 pm

so you are saying she's just being sponsored because she's a girl and not because she's a good driver? Since she's a proven Rally Driver (rallyestar.com)...

its hard not to be skeptical about girls in drifting as much as that sounds sexist there are a lot of women who have no business being on the track racing under a "proffessional" moniker.

but this is kaaz, and hiromi is awesome, so i'm interested to see their new driver, who happens to not have a penis.

I completely agree! and there are some guys as well...

There are people who don't have sponsors that should that are on both sides.. Doug Van Den Brink for one, he pays for all his FD stuff out of his own pocket... It aggravates me a lot when guys throw up the she's only sponsored cause she's a girl card when they don't bother to look at her resume

i know from experience in other things that girls get gigs because they are girls. She may be really good, but i know guys that are too, and they don't get sponsored.

being an ok rally driver doesn't make you a good drifter.
kaaz should sponsor a drifter if they've got money to throw around.
at least that's my opinion.

here's her drifting web site http://www.driftpirate.com/

She's more than OK Rally Driver, I'm sure Kaaz isn't just going to sponsor anyone that doesn't have the stuff to back it up on the track.....

I knew this one chick...

Ah fuck it. I'm not wasting my energy.

Back on topic... I hope Lisa drifts an Evo with mudflaps, hella Hellas, brush guards, skid plates, and tons of rally style to it. That would be rad.
