Sue Curley was a pioneer at LV, as she was one of the first ladies to regularly
compete with the boys at Howie’s playground. The car, many will recognize, was a former
Don Ackner Sportsman mount, that Sue purchased and
proceeded to paint pink. I remember
Sue having a gremlin I believe, & Uncle Art making a big deal out of the
fact Sue painted the stripes on the car with nail polish. Now whether this was true or not is to be
determined, but one thing is for sure, quite possibly influenced by Janet Guthrie’s
efforts, LV back in the 70’s was well represented by female throttle jockeys
that included Mitzi Hart, Laura Gerhardt and Kathy Tremont among others,
pictured here.
