LaPorta Potty was also trying to argue - after the unequal prize money
disparity was brought to light - that it was okay to do that because the
"women" asked for it in exchange for a lower entry fee. *But what the posters
also pointed out was that it wasn't the WOMEN RACERS that asked for the lower
entry fee and prize money, but rather the TEAM MANAGERS. *Those are two
totally different entities with conflicting interests.

Women's racing needs bigger and deeper fields which will bring better
racing. The unfortunate fact is that prize money doesn't seem to
guarantee bigger women's fields (unlike the men) because the prize
money is won by the few decent racers. So it's actually not a bad
idea to lower barriers to entry to get bigger fields, which eventually
will make for better racing. There are countless promoters who have
offered good prize lists for women only to have a relative handful of
racers show up.
