Ever heard of Della Woods, or seen this S/F Dart? (Thank you John S!)


Della Woods and her brother Bernie Woods were from Lake Orion, Michigan. Her racing career began during the 1960s. Woods was the first female driver in the five-second bracket in the funny car class, and the first female driver to compete in the semifinals at the NHRA National event.

During the 1990s, Woods began to run out of funding, and her racing career came to an end. She had beaten all the odds against her to express her passion in the field of auto racing.

  1. She was quite a Lady for sure. Unfortunately there were a number of female drag races that have been forgotten. I will help you out on that!

    1. I have already posted about most of them in the "Women" category https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/women
      Just keep in mind I won't post about them just because they were drag racers, that's not enough.
      I need a good story to go with that, or a cool car
