First woman to win a national championship -
1963
At the 2001 Runoffs, the author said "I meet at
least several very interesting new persons at the
annual race. This on the back straight concession
terrace I met two of the competitors from the
Original Cannon Ball Baker-Sea to Shinning Sea
memorial runs (early 70's) -- the real coast to
coast race NOT the movie with Burt and his
gang. Rob Conklin and none other Donna May Mims,
the "pink lady" SCCA racer who drove among
other all Pink cars the original Yenko stringers
(Corvair fame)--all pink of course and wouldn't you
know it she was dressed primarily in pink at the
2001 runoffs. Those of us with a few racing years
behind us can remember the Pink racers from the
first Road Atlanta racing days.
"It was a real treat to hear their racing
stories of Stinger development in the early days.
And the added bonus of their insiders view of the
many race stories, of the Cannon Ball Baker run was
nothing short of stupendous - like all fledgling
races the technical and sometimes legal problems
that were stumbled into and eventually solved by
each of the teams were absolutely fascinating." Bye
Lee
