The only thing Shirley loves more than racing is her 4 legged sweetheart(s).

She's a wonderful person. I only had 1 encounter with her away from the racetracks, back in .. oh, probably '88 or so. Her & Rahn delivered some parts to Della Woods' house on a Saturday afternoon and I was there just by chance.

Re: shirley muldowney thank u........

Wow how cool is that and what are the chances of something like that happening? I have had some great conversations with her as well and I know her to a very thoughtful and caring person. She's without a doubt one of my all time favorites. I remember at Pomona she just made her last pass of here career and all these photographers were following her up the return road and I remember thinking at the time "wow I have actually met that person".

I very much agree, however would not want to sit in opposite lane from her at a race.

I was there, at the fence, she threw her driving gloves out to us and I missed getting one by this >< much!

I really admire and respect her a ton.
Moreso that she loves pets.

So she seemed to be in good health?
I know she had that knee worked on last year.

Cool story, thanx for sharing Rick!
