Lol what do you guys think ? Am I right or wrong?

My daughter likes it..

I would say more guys than girls take an interest, but to just ignore things right in front of you is... well just stupid.

My daughter likes it and is actually pretty good. She's not much into maintenance yet, but she does clean her own tires and charges batteries. She has done a few minor repairs, but if I'm busy and can't get to it, a neighboring pit guy will often help her out.

It's kind of like video gaming. Guys flock to it but there's some really good girls too. There's a lady at the track that I go to who is waaaaaaay better than a lot of the guys.

Do I need to post the RC racing episode of Punky Brewster here? lol

The majority of participants are male, but there is absolutely no reason why a female couldn't become world champion even.

There are definitely more men in the sport than women, the same is true for most technical or race oriented hobbies/sports/careers. That doesn't mean they don't exist or aren't interested, just that less of them are.

At our track, my wife races (almost out of novice), another lady races and holds her own in 4wd SC and now 17.5 2wd buggy, and another lady comes in often to race buggy as well and is competitive too. We've almost got another couple ladies that show up with their kids to start into novice, but we're not quite there yet. There are, however, about 80-100 entries that aren't women alongside them though.

So I would agree that it is a "guys" sport/hobby based on the general marketing and interests of the group as a whole, but that doesn't preclude women from it...and some of them, like Drake, have actually done quite well. It is much like saying Nascar is a guy's sport, despite having a couple good women drivers in it. Interestingly, most of the girls that come to be trophy girls for larger races have actually become somewhat interested in it too.

I've seen more women show up at the track to berate their husbands than to race.

ask famous drivers like Danika Patrick or Shirley Muldownee (who drove top fuel dragsters) if racing cars is only a guy sport
