Ashley Force or Danica Patrick Beat Male Drivers

Danica, the best, any day..  Marc

I would go with Danica too.

I think she's better. 

There shouldn't be a question of who is the better driver, since their individual sports are extremely different.  They both drive race cars, yes, but that is about as far as you can take the comparison.

Danica has to compete with dozens of other drivers on the same track, manuvering through traffic and around the course, at varying speeds up to around 220 mph. 

Ashley only has one competitor at a time, but she is in control of a car that has approximately 8,000 horsepower (more than the space shuttle), battling 5-6 G-Force at launch and 2-3 G's with the parachutes, at speeds over 300 mph.

Let's just say they are both incredible drivers and leave it at that!

Ashley Force. No doubt.

She's proved she can handle a 7,000 horsepower beast.

I believe Ashley Force is a better driver because of the fraction of a second response that makes or breaks a run. The G-forces against your body on the launch from the start is incredible and all of your skills come into play in a mere 5 seconds or less. Ashley's been in many frightening crashes, fires, explosions, etc. which would put most of us "out of commission" for weeks. You definitely need to be very fit to drive this 8,000-plus horsepower race car.  No comparison with Danica's racer.  Besides, Ashley's like the "girl next door" that doesn't need to shed her clothes to earn "brownie points" in popularity.

ASHLEY FORCE, I am a huge NHRA fan and watch on T.V. The TEAM  FORCE is great, Ashley has done fantistic, in her 2 years in Funny Car.

GO ASHLEY
