Woods and brother Bernie Woods campaigned match races during the 1960's and early 1970's. Woods qualified for and NHRA AA/FC license in 1968 signed by Rodger Lindamood, Don Garlits and Don Kohler, only to have the association revoke the license, saying, "it's too dangerous for a woman to run in that class."[citation needed] Losing the license cost the brother sister team to lose several match racing engagements, provoking Woods to call the NHRA and inform them that if they took her license they would have to take the all female drivers' licenses as well.
