The first woman to ever win an NHRA event was "Drag-on Lady" Shirley Shahan in 1965 (Winternationals -Super Stock/A) with her Hemi powered Belvedere. Chrysler gave it to her with an automatic. She asked why? They told her she couldn't handle the 4 speed . . . which was Shirley's first automatic. She had driven nothing but 4 speeds previously.
