Meet Some of the Other Best In The Desert Female Racers If there’s one attribute that a female off-road racer has over male racers, it’s empathy. These women are incredibly competitive, but they will never hesitate to stop on the course to help fellow racers or take a younger racer under their wing. While gender shouldn’t dictate how a racer competes, there is something to be said about maternal instincts. Best In The Desert added the Women M/C Class starting in the 2020 series, which, due to the pandemic, was a hard year to launch anything. But because the association kept organizing races with protocols in place the female motorcycle series was a success and keeps on growing. As for the female UTV racers, they are right

in there going head to head with their male counterparts. In such a male-dominated sport, it’s hard to separate gender from the competition. Yet, all these female racers share the same sentiment: they want to be recognized for their skills rather they are women. These female racers are so much more than just racers: they are mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. They love the thrill of coming off the line as much as any competitor, but they love the camaraderie and the Best In The Desert family nearly as much.
