Vroom-Vroom, She Said to the Doubters 
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Hats off to Laleh Seddigh, the first female, Iranian race-car driver.

Ms. Seddigh loves speed. She also loves a challenge. Last fall, she petitioned the national auto racing federation in this male-dominated society for permission to compete against men. When it was granted, she became not only the first woman in Iran to race cars against the opposite sex, but also the first woman since the Islamic Revolution here to compete against men in any sport.

What's more, she beat them.
