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.
