Shirley Muldowney Talks With CompetitionPlus.tv 

An icon. The most amazing woman on the planet in my opinion. Much respect to this lady!

Shirley Muldowney. You are a true class act, going all the way back to your heyday. I was watching and rooting for you in the 1970s. I hope you have long and healthy retirement. You are one tough broad. And I mean that with all sincerity.

Shirley has one of the nicest most readable autographs in racing

What a huge inspiration to the world in general. I run a construction company and have my employees watch her past races and interviews. Just a fantastic person in the competitive world of LIFE!!

I love Shirley Muldowney, from way back in the day. I was so happy for her when she beat Don Garlits (my fuel dragster hero) and when she beat Connie Kalitta. She truly is a class act and a wonderful woman. God broke the mold after she was born!

Man this is such an affirmation of what a legend she is, her intuition on mh and leah! Loved her forever! I'm 63 she's been one of my heroes since I was a kid.

I was fortunate to be able to speak with Shirley at the Sanair track many times over the years. Very, very nice lady and a fierce competitor. Thanks Shirley!

My son and I met Shirley at the Winston Dragway, in Georgia around 1998. She's a great lady, and I was fortunate to meet her!

She is a darling of a lady. I say that on one hand and other hand I say she has more guts , and bravery than most. She’s gold.

Shirley Muldowney will go down in history as the top female racing Legend.

SUCH a sweet lady!!!!!!!!! Watching her in my younger years, make me who I am today. I don't race, but drive an awesome car THAT CAN... awesome power Shirley displayed!!

It was damn near 11pm when my dad ran me down to her semi when I was only three, to meet her! She had everything packed up and ready to leave, yet she took the time to sign a poster, take a few pictures and to take me to her car in the trailer and tell me I could be what ever I wanted to be when I grew up! It changed my life! -Brittney Olsen

SHIRLEY ROCKS!!!

Loved watching her race on tv. Super lady nitro racer.

Definitely a legend!

Great interview . Shirley is still looking beautiful

What a perfect and beautiful response, I love Her!

GOD BLESS YOU...YOU ARE TRULY A CHAMPION

great video!! been a fan of Shirley for a long time. she always took the time to sign her t-shirts or handouts.

WOW , What a compliment to current Driver Leah Pruett ! Ms. Muldowney doesn't just hand those out , Leah is truly a great Drag Racer. However Shirley was the "Trail blazer" in the sport . I was 9 at the 1986 pre season test and tune in Phoenix for her Comeback and stayed at her pits for the whole weekend except for when she made her runs, then I was right back at her pits. I think I managed to piss off the late and great Steve Evens getting in his way. But Shirley couldn't have been more nicer to me. That race she gained a life time fan it was the best drag event weekend I had until... 1989 @ Phoenix for her last NHRA win and what a win it was she Knocked Out Gene Snow ,Joe Amato and Darrell Gwynn in the final and beat them all on Holeshots it was awesome!

First saw you, Shirley, at the then 16-car, July '77 PDA at SIR, after you won the Summers. You beat Gaines Markley in his last driving appearance 6.12 to 6.12. Also saw you win the '80 Fallnationals pulling the front wheels off the line, and beating Marvin Graham in the TR-3/ Danekas car in the final. As for for the 1980s I was stationed in SoCal at Norton AFB when you debuted the Pioneer/Swindahl car at the '82 OCIR Grand Premier and dusted Big's sidewinder. I have to say what's most memorable about that '82 Grand Premier was Chi-Town running the table with 6.14s and 6.13s. When I saw the CTH at Pomona it was clear they were going to stomp.(And Shirley did also, until the final with LaHaie.) And Shirley driving past both Larry Minor/Gary Beck monster cars at the '83 Winternationals.

Shirley Muldowney is a class act and great drag racer. She is a innovator and role model for people, especially young women.

I met Shirley Muldowney in 2000 in Grand Bend at the IHRA Mopar Nitro Jam She broke the track record that weekend

Shes got the 3 most important things heart rythem and soul 😎

I grew up in Edmonton Alberta. My best times was Sundays at Speedway Park watching Cha Cha Muldowney race her dragster.

Class, pure class.

She's awesome.

Shirley Muldowney is the First Lady of Motorsports for eternity!

I've always loved her. I gotta root for the underdog. but what can you say, the lady had balls.

Watched her in1968at detroit dragway

The Best Met u 12 yr old boy !! Luved around the World Never 4get

i dont use hero very much, or at all. But Wolfgang Van Halen and Shirley are really up there, not much room to write after that!! I met shirley at the track once. i was having flash backs part of my PTSD program. She talked to me for easily 10 minutes she didnt have.

I don't go to the drags anymore because every time I go home, I want to start building another car!

One of the baddest chic's on the planet

You were such an inspiration to me in my racing years (1972-2008) Karts - would love to contribute to your survival. Need your email address. Many girls making their way in drag. Always wanted to meet you at a Lyn St James function for Women in racing. The biggest of hugs to you and your accomplishments that helped pave the way for us all. We always had to work 3 to 4 times as hard to gain half the respect. .

We knew her "Them" Before they were ANYBODY back in Wayne Mich . They always had a NEED to Race Money or Not. With Out Them the Sport Wouldn't be What it is Today . Rare Breed ...

ringo plays drums and drag races

From what I remember she got some help from Konnie Kalita. You know with that nasty stuff like cutting your hands and knuckles and torquing so hard in an awkward position under an engine on a hundred degree day that your shoulders feel like there gonna pop out.

She had her fans but I wouldn't go as far as favorite of the people. Not taking anything away from her driving. I have 3 daughters and would never want them to be like Shirley. No way.

She is the God. Not a man. Drag racings God is a Woman.
