Similar to Ray B's "Fast Women" puzzle, with some key differences. Some of these pictures are of women who achieved a noteworthy rate of speed. Others are merely associated with, or just photographed with, machines that could go fast, in the finest tradition of juxtapositioning fetching lasses and speed machines.
To earn a point, identify a fast girl (or girls), and what their speed accomplishment(s) were, if any. If they were eye-candy only (in the context of the photograph), please note that when identifying a girl.
Enjoy!
FMFG 1--Jungle Pam Hardy, who helped stage the Jungle Jim funny car for her significant other, Jungle Jim Liberman...
I expect FGFM 4 is Jaqueline Cochran and her Beech 17W with which she set a US women's speed record of 203.895 m.p.h. on 26 July 1937
Oh, and established an altitude record of over 30,000 feet (9,144 m), and finished third in the 1937 Bendix Trophy Race
Is #10 Valerie Thompson, Pro Stock Motorcycle racer?
Number #6 : Kayleigh Perkins.The first woman ever to drive a turbine-powered unlimited hydroplane."Unlimited Lights Seafair Champion."
Number #1 : Linda Vaughn "Miss Hurst" & The "Hurstettes" (Marsha on left & Nikki on right)
Number #8 : Roberta Pedon.American "glamour" model ;) (Eye candy?)
Number #11:Rhonda Greene posing with the Arlen Ness motorcycle.(Eye candy?)
Number #2 : Anne Baxter posing with her 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Convertible.She was an American actress known for her performances in films such as The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), The Razor's Edge (1946), All About Eve (1950) and The Ten Commandments (1956).
Number #7 : This is the renowned motorcycle motor drome rider Lillian LaFrance,circa 1930,who was billed as the premier motorcycle dare devil rider in the world. She also rode this midget race car inside the "Wall of Death" attraction at carnivals accross the country and world.
Number #3 : Female Wall of Death motorcycle rider Cookie Ayers-Crum on her Indian Scout,circa 1949.
I think that FMFG #9 is Valentina Terechkova, the first women (russian) cosmonaut.

Correct - and that's a short list of her speed endeavors. She also became the first woman to exceed the speed of sound, in 1953

Are you on a first-name basis with these girls, you lucky guy? Last names needed for points.

I'd say so.

Again, I'd agree

in 1970 she played in a racing TV movie called

I had forgotten that one. Acting in a movie about fast cars is closer to being eye candy (though at her age in the '70's, not so much). Agree, or disagree?
Of course I agree. That's what my "I doubt" meant.
One more to go, lads.
Definitely NOT an eye-candy!
Is she some type of motorcycle champion?
No sir
How about a bicycle rider of sorts, like BMX?
Not a bicycle rider.
did she drive something (wo)man-powered?
No
famous on four wheels?
Exactly!
Soap Box Derby?
Eureka!
Locked for Aaron65 for 24 hours.
That is Karren Stead, local 1975 Soap Box Derby champion from Lower Bucks County, PA...
