About Shirley Muldowney


Shirley Muldowney (née \"Roque\", born June 19, 1940 in Schenectady, New York), the \"First Lady of Drag Racing\" was the first woman to receive a licence to drive a top fuel dragster by the NHRA. She won the NHRA Top Fuel championship in 1977, 1980 and 1982. After a crash in 1984 she was sidelined for a long period but returned to the circuit in the late 1980s. She continued to race, mostly without major sponsorship, throughout the 1990s in IHRA competition as well as match-racing events. She returned to the NHRA towards the end of her career, running select events until her retirement at the end of 2003. Recent activities include the authoring of a Mongolian hot pot cookbook. Perhaps one of her most notorious nicknames was given to her, although inadvertently, by Connie Kalitta, when her fiery temper caused him to reply \"Cha-Cha-Cha,\" hence the nickname during the 1970\s,
