      There are still several of us that refuse to run 1000 foot. That is why events like the March meet are huge!

    I had the honors of meeting Shirley muldowney at raceway Park englishtown New Jersey. I'm not sure what a year I think it was 1994. I showed her a picture of my 1966 charger and she signed the back of the picture. She told me she loved those old vintage cars. And I should thank you that was it 😂❤️👍

    I used to watch Shirley run at Sanair over the years and had the opportunity to speak with her many times.
    I consider myself very lucky to have met Shirley.
    Meeting her was certainly one of the high points of my life.

      We always went to meet her in her pit at Sanair, she was a rebel and we had nothing but the highest opinion of her. The girlfriends needless to say loved her too. The friendliest professional i have ever met. Sure miss those days.

    I was there when she was in Edmonton Alberta and I had the privilege of speaking with her for at least 1/2 hour. I got a pit pass BECAUSE she was there. Loved her then, and still love her now. Became a fan when I watched "Heart Like a Wheel"

    I was young when saw Shirley first time...or Cha Cha...the beautiful women with English Leather sponsored pink rail. My heroess. I think her & Connie Kalitta had called it quits. She was something else & respected by all the men racing. Hi Shirley...hope u have many more great years. U r still loved.

    There was a dragster back in the 60s that you raced against it was called the vermontster . Milton Vermont drag strip not sure if you remembered it , Frankie Woodward and John Keefer. The vermontster was found in a barn about 5 yrs ago and put back together . Frankie got back in the car at Naperville Canada about 4 yrs as he was approaching 80 yrs young . The car has been to some of the local car shows. Good times for all.

    I had breakfast with her in like 1974. Well, it was memorable because my dad and I were eating with Cale Yarboro, Richard Petty, & Granddaddy Don Garlits waiting on this chick to show up. I was only like 8'ish, so I did not catch it really, but I think it was Petty that was poking fun at Mr. Don about Ms. Shirly showing up. She was late. Not real late because we were just having coffee yet. Richard was not letting it go. "What about that Shirley Muldowney?" "What about that Shirley Muldowney?" And it was all Cale could do to sip on his coffee. Finally, Mr. Garlits just blurted out almost angry, "SHE'S FAST!" and nobody was drinking coffee then. It was SO funny. I actually didn't have a clue who I was sitting with (at the time) nor who she was. I'm just having breakfast with "the guys" at the Big Boy in Florence, with dad, and happy we got the big round booth table. She pulled in in a bright PINK Peterbuilt sleeper, with a hot pink (probably 63-foot trailer) that had to be parked at the edge of the parking lot, LONG WAYS. And out jumped that lady in your picture.

    Still has it is right. In her last race in 03 she lost to Cory Mac after cutting .028 light to Cory's .057. If the she had the coin over the years that some of the others had she'd have won 6 titles I believe. A driver she was. The sport today is better because she was there. Love you Shirley.
