Why do you race?

“I want to race because it sounds like an amazing experience and a great way to gain friends in aviation. I also love the idea that so many other great women pilots have competed in this race; it has such great history.”
- Jessica Miller

“Flying hurls you into an environment where you cannot rely on abilities of your body alone and it makes you turn to untapped reservoirs of your mind and spirit. One taps even deeper into these reserves in organized racing, which I see not as much as competition for speed and distance, but more as a lab of sorts for modeling these abilities. A tiny glimpse into a vast potential.”
- Irene Lev

"I race because I love this country and I want to see every little town, general aviation airport, back road, farm land, and green pasture from the air."
- Athina Holmes
