Default Re: Shirley Muldowney 'Early Stocker'

M Zagata,

Excellent....

I found photo's of her at the Montgomery Airport/Dragstrip from 1960.

Jack and Shirley had a 'red' 1958 Biscayne 348/315 HP 'Tri-Power' that ran in A/Stock.

Advertised as "The 'only' teenage girl-driven A/Stocker in the Northeast".

That date - Tommy Ivo was there, running his 'Reddish-Orange' 'Twin Buick Engine' 'Hilborn Injected' Dragster.

The old Montgomery Newpsaper states that TV Tommy Ivo ran 8.90's @ 160 MPH.

Shirley Muldowney won A/Stock Class, and was beaten in the Semi-Finals of Stock Eliminator.

I wonder if she was getting 'appearance' money that early in her career.
