    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 Fuel dragster. She won the NHRA Top Fuel championship in 1977, 1980, and 1982, becoming the first person to win two and three Top Fuel titles.
    Born Shirley Ann Roque in Burlington, Vermont, on June 19, 1940,[4] Muldowney began street racing in the 1950s in Schenectady, New York. "School had no appeal to me. All I wanted was to race up and down the streets in a hot rod," declared Muldowney.[3] When she was 16, she married 19-year-old Jack Muldowney.
    It was Jack Muldowney who first taught me how to drive a car. Jack was the mechanic. He was the guy who tuned the cars that let the girl beat all the boys. I was a kid from upstate New York with no guidance, no direction. I was headed for trouble, nothing going for me. Then I found the sport at a very young age and was able to make something out of it.[6]
    In 1958, Muldowney made her debut on the dragstrip of the Fonda Speedway. She obtained her NHRA pro license in 1965. She competed in the 1969 and 1970 U.S. Nationals in a twin-engined dragster in Top Gas.[2][6] With Top Gas losing popularity, Muldowney switched to Funny Car, buying her first car from Connie Kalitta.[6]
    Around this time, her husband and she drifted apart; they finally divorced in 1972. "He didn't want to go nitro racing and we parted, but we stayed friends all those years until he passed away [in 2007]," she later said.[6][7]
    Muldowney won her first major event, the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Southern Nationals, in 1971.
    She stepped up to Top Fuel, getting her license in 1973[2][6] (making her the first woman to do it), behind the wheel of Poncho Rendon's digger; Don Garlits signed her application, one of three signatures she needed to make it official; the other two were Tommy Ivo and Connie Kalitta.[8] From 1973 to 1977, she teamed up with Kalitta as the Bounty Hunter and Bounty Huntress in match races, in a pair of Ford Mustangs, hers a Buttera chassis, and his a Logghe.[9] The Bounty Huntress Mustang caught fire at Dragway 42 in Ohio in 1973.[10]
    In Columbus, Ohio, in 1976, Muldowney dominated Top Fuel, qualifying number-one by 0.05 second, setting low elapsed time (ET) and top speed of the meet, having the low ET in every round, breaking her own top speed record in the final, and winning the class.[11] An unprecedented three NHRA Top Fuel Dragster world championships followed, in 1977, 1980, and 1982.
    Muldowney's 1986 dragster
    Muldowney's success met enormous opposition from those who felt drag racing (or any form of motorsport, for that matter) was no place for women. Garlits has said about her:
    Now, if you ask who do I have the most respect for, I'd say Shirley Muldowney. She went against all odds. They didn't want her to race Top Fuel, the association, the racers, nobody...just Shirley

      Looks good but I can assure you that funny car never had a halibrand quick change rear end in it. That axle would never survive one launch. It would have had a Ford 9” in it.

      Kieth Black - inventor of the cam ground pistons - that "distorted to round when up to running temps. Still used in all car engines today. Pistons used to be made round and would go oval at temp, causing oil burning and reduction in power. Kieth is STILL one of my heros ! ! !

    I like the fact this kit has a driver figure and open parachutes included - would make it suitable for a diorama. Shame the driver figure isn't molded in a way that makes life easier in terms of installing it with all the other chassis parts in place, but part of this hobby is finding creative solutions to such dilemmas. I recently built a plane where the instructions recommended amputating the pilot figure so he could fit into the completed cockpit.

  • @Stovalls
    @Stovalls Před 3 měsíci +2

    I put my comment in the wrong place sorry. So beautiful car. It would not have had a halibrand quick change rear end, it would not stand the horsepower. The small side wings are canard wings and work with the down force created by the exhaust which produces more down force than you might think.about 700lbs per pipe. The small tank is called a puck tank and catches blow by from the crank case. I’ve worked for a few nhra teams over the years and met Shirley numerous times great person. Hope this helps some.

  • @petesmodelcarcustoms584
    @petesmodelcarcustoms584 Před 3 měsíci +2

    You raised a good point about the figure😲. I'd go for cutting the feet apart and warming legs over a candle,to soften,then bending them out. Amputation should be the last resort,as I think the legs will remain visible🤔

    @mypl510 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Glad they finally did the correct car! The last one MPC did as the Muldowney car was like a 74 Road Runner! Totally wrong! LOL! Although she did run a Plymouth Satellite. and that would be a cool kit as well. But, this is the old Blue Max funny car that became quite a few others, including Connie Kalitta's Mustang, which in real life became this car.

    @donstevenson2660 Před 3 měsíci +1

    The big fault is the tinwork. It must be cut to fit up into the back of the windshield, and the top of the engine cover will require modifying the portion covering the injector. The injector hat from Polar Lights kits is lower and will provide better clearance. These kits can be made to ride much lower and in correct stance.

    I really enjoy watching this channel. You’re great and presenting the models, and breaking down all the options they offer. Your models come out great and it’s motivating me to start doing models for my sons room, until he’s old enough to start working on them with me. I remember how I enjoyed building them as a kid and the skill it taught me were great… Question do you have to prep the model car body before painting them? Do you have to clean it with a chemical or something, or can you just paint it right out if the box?
    Keep up the great work…
    Thanks Anthony
