Womans History
This gallery is dedicated to Women's History that my father caught on film in his almost 50 years of Phtography such as Shirley Muldowney, Della Woods, Miss Hurst, Judy Garland, Ann Marston & Miss America. Shirley Muldowney will always be remembered as one of the 1st women drivers in drag racing along with Della Woods & also in one of these photo's is Linda Vaughn as Miss Hurst who was synonimous with the race track. Judy Garland, of course, was legendary in her own time from her timeless movie, "Wizard of Oz" shown here in later years in the Detroit area along with a few photos of 1960's Miss America's. In the years 1954,55,57 & 58 Ann Marston was National Free Style Field Champion in Archery and also in 1959, Ann won the Miss Michigan contest and participated in the Miss America pageant using archery to win in the talent division of the contests. And just this August, 2011, Shirley Muldowney had an entire section of seating at the Indy National's strip, named after her to honor her huge contribution to Drag Racing history but also, in my opinion, to celebrate her outgoing personality through the years & how she is loved by so many Drag Racing Fans.
