Viewer Feedback

We have asked you, the viewer, what kind of articles you want in the magazine. Here are some of the feedback LIA Magazine received:

  •  A story on the men who support, encourage, and promote women in racing. A "Stand by your Woman" column each month.
  • Women in automobile manufacturing industry, executives, designers, etc.
  • Hot Rodding women, online women, magazine based, TV, radio, about their jobs, etc. Albuquerque N.M. traffic reporter radio gal Helen Wheels, say her name fast and it's Hell on Wheels.
  •  Standings for any woman that raced the previous weekend, drag, circle track, indy car, F1, any racer, motorcycle, Bonneville, etc.
  • Young college age women into racing at local tracks, etc
  • The women that did it first, fastest, first national win, first to start, etc
  • Young college age women into racing at local tracks, etc

  • The women that did it first, fastest, first national win, first to start, etc.

  • Young go-cart, drag racing girl racers, accomplishments, etc.

  • Sell racing products for women,etc.

  • Sell sport clothing for women etc.

  • Girls at Wyo Tech, UTI or other schools, etc.

  • For the woman of the month idea...I think she should be called LIA's Feature "Lady" of the Month...just a thought....

  •  I would like to see some how to's on trouble-shooting Step by step

  • cover the women who have found success and earned respect throughout the industry and get their stories

  • There are SEMA women's groups, DRAW, and other such organizations to find subjects to profile

  • Beyond the great female race drivers there are successful businesswomen, legendary racetrack gals who earned respect (like Linda V. and Jungle Pam) and young ladies who are forging their own respectable paths (like the gal who did the traditional hot rod movie and documented its progress here on the HAM

  • have some articles featuring the gals across the country that are really into Traditional cars

  • My girlfriend and I went to a car cruise sat. nite and found several woman owners who had great stories about their passion for hot rod and customs

  • Maybe an ongoing column on real local women across the country or wherever talking about their rides. As much I love history, I need the visuals, maybe a monthly contest for photos of women and their rides

  • Id love articles of ladies cars and the work they have done on their cars. Tech articles and women involved in the early hot rodding/ Kustom days would be great too. Maybe even interviews with the wives/girlfriends/daughters of the old Racers and Kustomisers

  • I would love to see articles/interviews of the wives/daughters of the ol timers. Maybe even articles of the ol' "Track Girls" and "Flag Girls" the list goes on and on

  • I can remember names like Vicky Woods and Denise McCluggage that raced and were factory test drivers in the Fifties and Sixties. You might want to look at the ladies that race at Bonneville and El Mirage. The car that I'm running was previously driven by a real great lady Marge Price. I know they all have a lot of very interesting stories...

Believe, Dream, Imagine

Good day to all you gals and guys out there who are a part of the automotive industry. I wanted to stop and take the time to let many of you know what has happened with LIA Magazine since March and what we are working on to help shape the beginnings of the e-zine.

We are trying to attend as many shows as possible to get the word out about the magazine. Those of you who havent stopped and talked to us please feel free to bend our ear. We need you, the viewers, to let us know what type of articles youd like us to put in the magazine. I stated before and will say it again to all of you. We are wanting to get the wheel in motion for a networking to begin amongst women. I want all of you to realize this is the opportunity to get answers to your questions, share your thoughts and ideas, tell us who needs to be recognized for their involvement in the industry and why. This magazine is geared toward women, however, our intent is not to exclude the men. I wouldnt be doing what I am today if it wasnt for all my support from my husband. I know for a fact that there are many other men out there that have their significant other that is involved in the automotive industry. Please let us know who you are and how they are participating in the sport. Many are excited and proud to be involved in this great industry. Please tell us who you are and what your involvement is with the industry.

Since we launched the magazine in March weve met many new friends and caught up with all of our old friends. When we first started we thought the online magazine would be published monthly. We realized quickly that there wouldnt be enough material to do that in the beginning. So, at least for the first year we know that the magazine will be published bi-monthly. From time to time we will add to the current published issue, such as; more photos of an event, press release, new products, etc.

We know here at the magazine we are in the beginning stages of forming this baby, LIA Magazine, to be the best it can possibly be for all of you viewers. There will be crawling, walking, and sometimes running at the various phases in the beginning workings of forming up this online magazine. All I ask is that all of you be patient with us and treat this like raising a child, because that is how we are treating LIA Magazine. If we all do that, then the magazine will grow into being its own great identity for all of us.


Sincerely,
Your LIA Lady

Hi Everyone,

No I haven't forgotten about the blog. I have been so busy trying to get the magazine up for all of you to see the first official issue. I apologize that it took me a while, however, I had a few bugs to work out. I also needed to get the articles together, which was difficult to find the material in the beginning since the season just started.That being said please review all the sections and let me know what you link.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been very helpful in supporting the start-up of the Ladies in Autosport online publication.Please enjoy and remember we are just getting started. Let me know what else you’d like to see online. I’m sorry that we are late in getting up the official first issue, but anyway it is up. Again, thanks to everyone for their kind words and support.
