I'd guess that's my favorite.
From what I've read, it was Laurie's idea for the parachute shot.

The sport has made a tremendous effort to publicize our diversity, certainly including women competitors. That word is actually beginning to get around. The use of Ms. Force in a high profile magazine spread like this helps: “Man, I heard there were some girls driving these cars, but I never figured they’d look like this! Wow, I’m going out to see her in person!” Don’t laugh, that will Happen!
Wait... so its okay for JOHN to be in the issue, but not a female?
Well, if that doesn't just reinforce the double standard right back to where we started.![]()
I just think they picked the wrong Force, I'd like to see Laurie in next year's issue.

Joe, How serious could a fan be if the exposure of only some of Ms. Force’s body was enough to keep them from the track?
Did people stay away after Mr. Force appeared in the Body Issue?

good post Kevin, some have a double stand![]()
Erica...in defense of the guys, what you see is a product of the radical feminist movement of the 70's. We were told not to view women as sex objects. We were told to view women as equals. We were told to respect the abilities of women, not their bodies. These are all, very sound ideals. Quite different from the previous generation. We train well. Please pardon us for scratching our heads when we are now told we are dinosaurs for having these thoughts. I'm okay with everything a girl does, or a guy does. It's their life. I believe in "to each their own". I do, however, reserve the right to ignore all further attempts at training by women, because it just confuses me.
I wrote about this on my blog, and received an excellent written comment from a coach for females in motorsports. Check it out: Sex sells... or does it? Courtney Force controversy
The double standard is that a man can appear in an identical photoshoot and not be condemned as a poor role model, questioned for his moral integrity or told that he has reflected on the sport poorly. What part of that is equal if you condemn the female for the exact same photo op?
Or you get this kind of backlash:

The same group that "looked the other way" to their priests violating kids is upset over some tasteful shots?
No wonder young people (including me) are turning atheist!
Bunch of hypocrites....
Aren't you Jewish Sam? The Catholic Church paid Severely over the Pedifile scandal, several have benn banned from the Priesthood!
