Notes: West and Bloom's first try at turning this '47 Crosley into a drag race car was disappointing. They used the rear half of a straight Buick 8, making it a four-cylinder "power" plant. When they could only eke 75 mph out of it, they swapped the little motor out for a 1940 Buick Century. They also moved the driver from the front seat to the rear seat to accommodate the bigger motor. This change really improved their results: 104.34 mph. Photo: "Just curious (Phx. Hist.), p. 16, in Jalopy Journal, The H.A.M.B. -- MB

Notes: In the latter part of 1955, Harold Stephan raced his white '55 Corvette convertible at Lions a few times. In the first half of 1956, his 34-year-old Canadian-born wife took over the driving duties and did very well. She won the C/SP class nine times. In 1957, Harold, who owned a plumbing business, installed a blower in the Vette and raced in A/MSP. Harold passed away in 1960 at age 39. In 1961, Madeleine married Norman Freligh in Santa Cruz. Her drag racing days were brief but noteworthy. When racing at Lions, she looked very sporty in her sunglasses and scarf. Photo: Drag News, April 13, 1956 - MB

Notes: Lloyd and Carol Cox raced the family car, bought new in 1958, with good success at El Mirage and a few favorite drag strips in Southern California. Lloyd drove it occasionally, but Carol drove it most of the time. She was a class winner almost every week they drove through a drag strip gate. At San Gabriel, she raced in S/SA and at Santa Ana in SX. At Santa Ana, she set back-to-back track records on Aug. 1 (96.46 mph) and Aug. 17 (97.40 mph). They set a track record (95.64 mph) at San Fernando on Oct. 5 with Lloyd driving. But it was Carol who was the best of the two behind the wheel, as her win at the 1962 Winternationals in S/SA would attest. She became the first woman to take a class win at a national event. And she was recognized for it as early as 1958. Drag News wrote that she was "one of the nation's top women drag racers." Riverside used to hold 1/2-mile drag races. On Oct. 19, Carol raced there, taking a class win with 23.11 at 118.11 mph. Photo: Hot Rod Deluxe (Nov. 2018), p. 53 - MB

Notes: She was the only woman entrant in the Oakland 1958 National Roadster Show. A member of the Dresdens car club in Fremont, she did all the work on the car herself. The car had frenched Lincoln taillights, Corvette grille, DeSoto side trim, hood and deck molding, interior TV, and she tailored her own white and gold upholstery. She became the first woman to win a class trophy at Little Bonneville Drag Strip when she took a C/S win on Sep. 21. Photo: Pinterest - MB
