Seven women set out in the very first Dakar Rally 47 years ago. These French women were formidable racers in a sea of testosterone in the inaugural Paris-Dakar Rally.

Francesca’s Sandy Burnout in Joshua Tree
Francesca Gem lives in the Los Angeles area- she rides a Yamaha R6 and enjoys doin’ a burnout or two.
A full post from Babes in Joshua Tree will come later- but in the mean time here are some of my favorite photos from the event. Saturday night during golden hour we were getting some photos on the edge of camp when Francesca suggested she do a big dusty burn out. Of course, I encouraged such shenanigans.
The best part was that she dug herself a little hole- no kickstand needed for parking.
Kerryann made a little video, check it out-
