Angelle Savoie

Kansas Kid · November 13, 2001

If any of you guys pay attention to the NHRA, I was wondering what you thought of Angelle Savoie. Just in case you don't know, she is in the pro-stock bike class, and just one her second title

I personally think its pretty cool that she is out there doing so good. Plus she is looks good, and was real nice when I met her about 3 years ago. So what do you guys think?

She's pretty, intelligent, and can ride a bike like nobody's business. What's not to like?

As long as we are talking about women in motorsports here, I'll submit my favorite.

You actually want to know about her? Thought you just liked to look at pictures!

Well, this is Johanna Herlevi from Finland. She drives in the European tractor pull circuit for the Valtra pulling team. Have I ever seen her? No. Why is she my favorite? Any hot woman that drives a tractor as well as she does catches my interest! ;) She actually is quite good at it.

I guess since she is from Europe, it gives me an excuse for having never heard of her. I have to agree that any woman that looks like that, and drives a tractor would get my attention as well. LOL

I think I will still keep Angelle as my favorite woman in motorsports though.

Yes, she is pretty. Yes, she can ride with the best of them. Yes, she is my favorite female of Pro Stock Bike in NHRA.

But my favorite Female racer of all right now is John Force's Daughter.

Um, I'd have to go with an emphatic YEA! :love:

She is attractive, in my opinion, but ya also have to respect her for doing something that is stereotypically not a 'woman's' thing to do. And doing it well is even better.

The tractor gal is looking good, too. I guess I never realized that they did that stuff in Europe. I did see some European drag racing once on Speedvision, that was kinda strange to watch...

It was funny when Angelle first started racing the bike, all of the veteran male riders started complaining that the rules gave her an unfare advantage. She only weighed about 105lbs so that left her team with the ability to move about 50-70lbs(as compared to a ~160lb male) around on the bike and still be under the weight limit.

When a couple of the competition's crew chiefs were asked about it their answers were typically, "If I could find a 105lb rider that could cut her times then I would have a new rider too."

I have to agree completely jp...hot women and tractors are a beautiful combo.
