I'm sure I'll post a lot of other stuff from now til July 5th, but I just came across these stars and stripes from http://stiffspeed.tumblr.com and http://mostuffsthlm.tumblr.com and this is the first time I can recall making an effort to get some red white and blue posted for the holiday. I hope you've got the day off work to kick back and enjoy some good food and friends.

Carol "Bunny" Burkett
I must have found this photo on a site I was just looking at, but I don't know which one. Gentlemint? Gentleman racer? I'm not sure
But Carol got into drag racing young, at age 15 at the wheel of her boyfriends 55 Mercury... and she had her own car at age 19, a 64 Mustang. Racing seems to have been quickly a overly expensive hobby, and Carol went to work for big tips at the Playboy Club, and then returned to drag racing with a nickname... Bunny.
She kept racing for decades, and in 1986 won the IHRA championship in alochol funny cars!
