Shirley Maldauni open Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals 2016

The first lady of drag racing privileged to open the third stage of the championship, which kicks off in Gainesville on 17 March.
Recall that Shirley made history as the first woman to receive a license for the performance of professional drag racing. On account of the pilots 18 wins at the event of the national championship, three league titles in the fastest class Top Fuel and countless other regalia and sporting achievements. It is noteworthy that the company Amalie Oil Co. It was one of the main sponsors of Mrs. Maldauni just at the time when the racer was at the peak of his career, and winning her battered with unprecedented ease and frightening stability.
I am very pleased that the guys from Amalie remembered about me. At one time we were in the same team, and our union worked simply not efficient, we did not just stop. Their proposal — this is an excellent opportunity to spend the weekend in Florida with my friends and fans...

We are extremely proud of the fact our dense, durable and effective cooperation in the days when Maldauni remained in the cage and represented by a serious threat to the best drivers of his time. „
