Muldowney was the first woman to receive a license from the National Hot Rod Association to drive a Top Fuel dragster. She won the Top Fuel Championship in 77, 80, and 82, making her the first person to win two and the three Top Fuel Titles and won 18 total NHRA national events.
"What's a beautiful woman like you doing racing in a place like this?"
"Winning"
there is not enough words to express exactly how bad ass this woman was.
everyone interested in today social issues should watch Heart Like A Wheel.
Legendary.
Cha Cha
She had to get competitors to sign her competition license. Don Garlits was first. It was easier after that.
Muldowney had bigger balls than most of her competitors.
*Heart Like A Wheel* if you want to watch a good movie.
She turned 84 in June. I met her many times at the US Nationals and she is a total class act.
Was ‘t she racing the same time as Don the Snake?
So a drag queen?
Love.
Watched her live many times.
Very cool my first top fuel race I seen her race maybe 1995 at the Las Vegas dragstrip
Don’t call me Cha Cha..
Cha Cha !!!!
