is Cobb's roommate and also works on Cobb's pit crew. LaKemper said Cobb's sex was not a major issue to Cobb or to the other racers.
Cobb said women and men were equal on the racetrack because success was not based on physical ability.

"There are a few men who don't want to be beaten by a woman, but it's not a problem," LaKemper said.
LaKemper attends each of Cobb's races to time Cobb's laps and to help out in the pit. LaKemper said that Cobb actually used her gender to her advantage.
"She uses her head when she's racing," LaKemper said. "Men let their tempers get in the way when they're racing."
Cobb said she hoped the combination of her calm reserve and her talent would allow her to advance to national competition.
"By 1997, I hope to be traveling and competing nationally," Cobb said. "I'm kind of a dreamer, but I think I'm aggressive enough to do it."
Commission debates future of billboards
By Carlos Tejada Kansan staff writer
Billboards may soon be a sign of the past in Lawrence, a sign company warned.
Last night, the Lawrence City Commission debated and put on next meeting's agenda an ordinance to restrict the number of billboards in the city. Currently, Lawrence has nine double-sided billboards, four on North Second Street and five on East 23rd Street.
If the proposal passes, said David Corliss, assistant to the city manager, that's all Lawrence would ever have.
But during the debate, representatives from Martin Outdoor Advertising, the owners of all nine billboards,
objected to the ordinance. Jane Eldredge, Martin representative, said the language of the ordinance would prohibit Martin from erecting new billboards if the old ones were torn down for new development.
In effect, she said, the ordinance would reduce the number of billboards in the city. She also said the measure would drive Martin out of town.
"It would be a shame to essentially run them out of town and not do business with them anymore," Eldredge said.
Eldredge said Martin and the commission met and agreed upon the current sign law in the mid-80s. She also said billboards advertised crucial downtown businesses and both the
Lawrence Riverfront Plaza and the Tanger Outlet Mall.
The issue will be discussed at the next city commission meeting Sept. 6. In other business:
The commission decided to postpone consideration of a motion to turn the Lawrence Housing Authority, a government entity, into a nonprofit corporation. The group's leaders said it would be better able to handle the growing need for low-income housing if it were to apply for federal grants open to non-profit corporations. Consideration was postponed until a study group on affordable housing, appointed by Jo Andersen, Lawrence mayor, releases its report on Sept. 13.
