Wonder Woman & Bionic Bunny Burkett
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 5:25 am
It was great seeing "Bionic" Bunny again at MIR last October. I have been trying to contact her, but to no avail to bring this up-to-date. She has been in the hospital again this winter. It is going to be an add-on later because of her latest ordeal.
I first met Bunny back in the mid '60's when I was Editor of Drag Times. I purchase all of my office supplies from Southern Office Supply where she worked as a bookkeeper.
She later became a drag racer in the stock class and then moving into the Pro Stock ranks into the "Miss Universe of Drag Racing Circuit" of Tom "Smoker" Smith's. Then the big move to funny cars.
Not only being named "Bionic", she is also a "Wonder Woman".
Let us start with the '95 crash at Beaver Springs Dragway in a race against Carl Ruth. Carl crossed over into her lane sending Bunny on wild crash. She died (3) times on the way to the hospital. GOD kept telling her it was not her time.
She had a broken back (2 metal rods inserted), ribs, ankles, wrists, torn ligaments in all of her fingers, convulsions "dark roots", just to name a few of her injuries.
Since then, she has had a double masectomy, total hysterectomy, broken right hip and leg, a cracked pelvis bone and a replaced right hip. Not only a "Bionic Bunny" but a "Wonder Woman" too. Can she still do the "Bunny Hop"? Slowly! We will keep you in our prayers.
GOD BLESS you "Bunny" & crew. Keep them "Bear's" tamed & Dennis too!
May GOD Bless the USA & YOU!
Did you know that Tigers are the only striped Wild Cat and not only their fur STRIPED, so is their SKIN!
What is a chaufeur's favorite beverage? Limo-nade!
