Sad news, indeed.
 
Just spent an hour reading some of the related links... PRDA(!), some of the Cannonball nonsense... wow. I'm ~old~ now. :shocked:
 
Cumberland Airport SCCA National. 1964, I think.

I'm doin' th' math... she was in her mid thirties in '64. Mid forties when she ran th' Cannonball. Umm...

GOOD fer HER!!!

I'd no clue she was that much older 'n me. I just thought her a dolly and a terrific example for other ~girls~ to look up to. "Think Pink" was a War Cry of sorts. :thumbsup:
 
I'm sad...

What a wonderful person.

I will miss her...But she had some stories that I will retell.
 
Pink MGB too. And I seen here in photos with a Pink TR3 as well

This photo from Cumberland was sent to me by Bill Emery. This car is in Bill's back yard and he still uses parts from it to support his <span style="font-weight: bold">SCCA</span> TR3.

She was in attendance at both the VRG BeaveRun and Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix events in 2008, I think working the starting grids at least one day. She seemed like a nice person.

I asked DMM to tell racing stories at the Triumph Register of America National Meet in June. She seemed excited to do it, but finally wrote that she couldn't make it. Too bad; it would have been a good time, I bet.

She had pink stationary and a pink business card.
 
Sadly,I think those days are gone forever.
We need more "colorful" people like that around.
Now,it seems,that it's more about money.
