Happy 86th Birthday, Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney!
Shirley Muldowney (born June 19, 1940), also known professionally as "Cha Cha" and the "First Lady of Drag Racing", is an American auto racer. She was the first woman to receive a license from the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) to drive a Top Fueldragster. She won the NHRA Top Fuel championship in 1977, 1980, and 1982, becoming the first person to win two and three Top Fuel titles.[1][2] She won a total of 18 NHRA national events.
Shirley, you were a tough bitch because you had to be, in order to race against men who didn't want you on the track. And, you were GOOD.
Happy Birthday, Shirley!
