Since the beginning of motor racing competitions, the female figure has been present in various ways and at all times, giving the sport lightness, elegance and charm. The intriguing alchemy between women and engines has always been the frame for the exploits of the drivers on track. Over the years the role of woman has changed and so has the common feeling and these changes are visible in motorsport throughout the course of the last 80 years. We don’t claim here to write a treatise on this subject and we believe that the best means available to make readers participate in the foregoing is simply a list of beautiful photographs from circuits around the world.
Our favorite bombshells from glory days of the drags. By Kevin Shaw on June 14, 2010.
There’s an old comedian’s routine which joked that mankind would likely still be hunting mastodons with sharp sticks if man’s drive for impressing the fairer sex didn’t motivate him to “one-up” the guy standing next to him; and we’re akin to believe it. It’s not hard to imagine the Roman Legionnaire with the fastest chariot didn’t ride off into the sunset with his fair share of handmaidens. Alas, how the times have changed over the years. While we’re not bemoaning Woman’s Suffrage or the Woman’s Liberation Movement of the mid-to-late 1970’s, we do long for the days when flight attendants were called stewardess. Although the National Hot Rod Association dates back to the mid-20th Century, it’s arguable that it’s Golden Era was during the mid-1960’s through the early 1970s, exactly the same period as the Big Three fought for street and strip dominance. Big money was being thrown around during these tentative years and it only made sense that with all of the fanfare and publicity some of that money would go into some added showmanship. Sponsors, manufacturers and even promoters were quick to enroll “trophy girls” and other so-called “Cheesecake” to “brighten up” the pits.
Ms. Hurst Golden Shifter, Linda Vaughn

Most famous of these trophy girls, was Linda Vaughn. Who would eventually become known as “Ms. Golden Shifter,” Linda’s chapter in the history of drag racing began, humorously enough, as a dental technician.
In 1961, she entered a contest put on by the Atlanta Raceway and won the title of Miss Atlanta Raceway.
Visiting various race tracks in the south over several years, Linda noticed an ad looking for a new “Miss Hurst Golden Shifter.”

Thus began Linda’s career representing Hurst Industries. In the mid-60’s, Linda, along with Don Garlits and Richard Petty, toured military bases in Vietnam to boost morale and wow the soldiers as the two racers raced up and down the tarmac.
Linda flanked by two Hurstettes.
Today, Linda has become as much a part in drag racing’s history as the drivers, builders and amazing machines that made it what it is.

Linda still continues to make the occasional guest appearance, signing old headshots, Hurst promotional material and other memorabilia (usually provided by the doting middle-aged man who remembers her photographs from their early teens).
“Jungle Pam” Hardy
Drag racing legends “Jungle Pam” Hardy and “Jungle Jim” Liberman doing what they do best.
Taking her name from funny car driver “Jungle Jim” Liberman, “Jungle Pam” Hardy was known for her antics on the track as well as her scant outfits.
Jungle Pam and her pam pams.
“Jungle Jim” Liberman embodied this new spirit of showmanship during the early 1970’s, employing all sorts of tricks and gimmicks to guarantee the Pennsylvania funny car driver all sorts of media coverage.
“Jungle Pam” gets down.
Liberman earned a significant portion of his fame for driving backwards at 100 mph after doing each burnout.

A young and fresh-faced “Jungle Pam” Hardy on her way to becoming a racetrack legend.
The flamboyant showman, though, had one more trick up his sleeve, Pam Hardy.
Jungle Pam Hardy, the car was Jungle Jim Liberman's Dodge Dart funny car.
The tall, buxom brunette was hired to assist Jim as he prepared for each “flopper” funny car pass.
Pam Hardy in 1972.

After Jim’s notorious burnouts, she guided him back in the path using over-the-top gyrations and contortions.
Pamela Hardy, more commonly known as “Jungle Pam”, was easily recognized by her iconic go-go boots, short shorts and skirts, glasses and long brown hair … among other things. She was in drag racing for only four short years, yet her name remains iconic decades later.
Touring the country, Liberman and Hardy averaged an estimated 100 events per year during the 1970s.

Coil, of “Chi-Town Hustler” funnycar fame, Mangles and the Jungles Jim and Pam of the most beloved F/C team to ever tour, in a candid glimpse of the lives of pro drag racers in the early Seventies. Photograph by Paul Stenquist, who comments: “these aren’t good photos, but some of you may find them interesting. I shot them a couple of days before Christmas in 1976 at Austin Coil’s apartment in Justice, Illinois. Austin was the brains behind the “Chi-Town Hustler” funny car, a top contender for many years in American drag racing competition. In later years, he took John Force to numerous world championships. In the foreground is Jim “Jungle Jim” Liberman (the furry thing without a head) and his girlfriend, sidekick, showpiece, Pam “Jungle Pam” Hardy. Austin Coil and his friend, Merle Mangles, are in the background.”
Liberman’s fame as a driver was galvanized as he notoriously refused to lift off when a run was completely out of shape.

While “Jungle Jim” passed away prematurely in 1977, “Jungle Pam” has gone on to pen several memoirs of her raucous race years as well as attend several events with the likes of Linda Vaughn and Judy Lilly.
Carol “Bunny” Burkett
Multi-time National Champion Bunny Burkett with her E/S ’65 Ford Mustang.
Now, not all of the beauties were stuck trackside. The IHRA and NHRA rosters were rife with female racers, but most were nowhere as notable as Spotsylvania, Virginia-native Carol “Bunny” Burkett.
Bunny’s career is also one of the most storied and longest-running, becoming an IHRA World Champion, an NHRA Division II Champion and the 1991 IHRA U.S. Open Nationals Champion in drag racing competition.
Bunny’s career spans 30-plus years, starting with an E/S ’65 Mustang. A “sure-fire hit” with the media, Bunny’s charm, good-looks and talent earned her numerous interviews, personal displays and celebrity appearances over the years.
Bunny with her HEMI-powered “flopper.” Today, her current ride is a Mopar Performance ethanol-powered Dodge Avenger Top Alcohol Funny Car, aptly named the “Hemi-Honey.”
Bunny has set numerous quarter and eighth-mile world records and is the first and only female driver to win an NHRA National Event in Alcohol Funny Car competition.
In September 1995, during her 31st season racing, Bunny experienced a near fatal accident where a fellow competitor rammed her car at over 200 mph. Bunny survived the impact and rebounded to continue racing for several years afterward.
Bunny, today, is instrumental in promoting charitable causes and the needs of special-needs organizations.
Shirley Muldowney
While she used the nickname “Cha-Cha” during the 1970’s, Muldowney hated the nickname and eventually dropped it.

Of all of the woman drag racers, there’s few who can stand up to the shadow cast by Shirley Muldowney.

Born in Burlington, Vermont, Shirley was named the “First Lady of Drag Racing,” as she was the first woman to receive a license from the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) to drive a top fuel dragster.

In fact, Shirley was immortalized in the inexplicably-titled “Heart Like a Wheel” 1983 film starring Bonnie Bedelia.

Muldowney was less concerned with being cooed over as a sex symbol and strove to be a pioneer in woman’s drag racing, which did, earning 18 National Championships over her career.

In Bill McGuire’s biography, he retold how Shirley earned one of her more notorious nicknames. Given to her by Connie Kalitta when her fiery temper caused him to reply, “Cha-Cha-Cha,” hence naming her “Cha-Cha” during the 1970s.
Musta worked as she beat Connie Kalitta for her first funny car title.
Shirley with her rig.
Shirley hated the nickname and later dropped it, saying, “there is no room for bimboism in drag racing.” In 1984, a crash crushed her hands, pelvis and legs, necessitating a series of operations and 18 months of therapy.
Shirley returned to racing in the late ’80s, continuing to race without major sponsorship throughout the 1990s. She returned to the NHRA, until her retirement at the end of 2003.

Snapshot, 1955: ladies, start your engines. 16 July 2017. It’s summer 1955, and there’s no better time for a ride. The obvious choice of vehicle on this warm, sunny day is the perpetually entertaining Vespa. But if you’re looking to get on one soon, you’ll need to act fast, as they’re being snatched up rather quickly… There’s no other quintessential summer ‘ride’ than a Vespa. With its peppy little motor, open-air driving and the perfect seat for two, it screams free, uninhibited holiday fun. And after seeing Audrey Hepburn cosy up to Gregory Peck on one in Roman Holiday, every holidaymaker wants to try it out for themselves. Who knows, maybe it’ll take them on a romantic holiday adventure of their own? Photo: Popperfoto via Getty Images.

Snapshot, 1957: the original surfer chick. 17 August 2019. It’s the summer of 1957 and there’s a new face on the California surfer scene, Kathy Kohner. Although small, she is mighty, tackling waves four times her height. But, in order to do so, she needs to get that pesky long board out from the rear window of her family’s Buick… Looking to make some friends after years abroad, Kathy has gone to the beach with her family in search of some worthy prospects. With long board in tow, a clear choice seems to be a group of guys in search of the perfect wave … surfers. No one is fully accepted into the surfer subculture until they are given a nickname and, after proving herself in the squall, Kathy will eventually be dubbed Gidget by her buddies — a hybrid for girl and midget, due to her diminutive 5'1" stature. Over the summer, during the car rides back to Brentwood from Malibu, Kathy will go on to tell her parents about her new friends, experiences and, of course, nickname, inspiring her father to write “Gidget: the little girl with big ideas” — a book that would become so popular it would eventually evolve into a book series, movie series, TV series, comic book and documentary. While Kathy will eventually give up surfing, her legend will live on in the form of Gidget — cowabunga! Photo: Allan Grant / The LIFE Picture Collection via Getty Images.

Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli, better known as "Fonzie" or "The Fonz", is a fictional character played by Henry Winkler in the American sitcom Happy Days (1974–1984). He was originally a secondary character, but was soon positioned as a lead character when he began surpassing the other characters in popularity. To many, Fonzie is seen as the epitome of cool and a sex symbol.
