While doing a little more digging on early 100-Six racing, I found a
list of many SCCA races listing the entrants along with car for 1957
(LOTS of Healeys). If you follow this link
http://wsrp.wz.cz/natus1957.html#179 , it lists La Ruth Bostic driving
a 100-6 in 3 races at Riverside in 1957
I decided to see who she was I came across this link
http://www.mshf.com/cgi/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=categories&action=display&num=1093626162
referring to a LaRuth Bostic (slightly different spelling) as being
the first African-American female race car driver.
Does anyone know about this, its an interesting and notable piece of
history if it can be confirmed.
