Shirley certainly wasn't around, (old enough) for that time period. She was in her twenties when racing Super Stock cars. (mid 60's),(California based)......
Wally,
She was 12 to 14 years old at the time, which is how old my friend guessed her to be at that time.

I just dyno'ed my ride before an older gentleman dyno'ed his and we got to chatting. I found out in the early 50's he remembered giving a young girl named Shirley a ride in his '27 flathead roadster at Pomona Raceway and even allowed her to drive it a bit. I guessed it might have been Shirley Muldowney, since the age would be about correct. Shirley Muldowney just emailed me and told me it wasn't her but suggested itcould have been Shirley Shahan. I am not having any luck contacting Shahan, does anyone have contact information on her?
