PAFW Fast Girls and Fast Machines - Solved by Ray B., Aaron65, Allan L & João

[Otto Puzzell]

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...

[Allan L]

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

[Aaron65]

Is #10 Valerie Thompson, Pro Stock Motorcycle racer?

[João]

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.

[Ray B.]

I think that FMFG #9 is Valentina Terechkova, the first women (russian) cosmonaut.

FMFG 1--Jungle Pam Hardy, who helped stage the Jungle Jim funny car for her significant other, Jungle Jim Liberman...

Correct

[Otto Puzzell]

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

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

[Otto Puzzell]

Is #10 Valerie Thompson, Pro Stock Motorcycle racer?

...and multiple-time land speed record holder.

[Otto Puzzell]

Number #6 : Kayleigh Perkins.The first woman ever to drive a turbine-powered unlimited hydroplane."Unlimited Lights Seafair Champion."

Correct.

Number #1 : Linda Vaughn "Miss Hurst" & The "Hurstettes" (Marsha on left & Nikki on right)

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

Number #8 : Roberta Pedon.American "glamour" model   (Eye candy?)

I'd say so.

Number #11:Rhonda Greene posing with the Arlen Ness motorcycle.(Eye candy?)

Again, I'd agree

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).

So, fast female or eye candy?

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.

Very good

Number #3 : Female Wall of Death motorcycle rider Cookie Ayers-Crum on her Indian Scout,circa 1949.

Yep!

[Otto Puzzell]

I think that FMFG #9 is Valentina Terechkova, the first women (russian) cosmonaut.

Yep, rocketed into space at over 25,000 MPH. Fastest in this group, by quite a margin.

So far...


FMFG0   The Legendary Hurst Girls, Marsha _________ , Linda Vaughn & Nikki ________ .
   

Their full names of the remaining two were Marsha Bennett and Nikki Phillips

[Ray B.]

   
FMFG2   Anne Baxter and her Lincoln. Ms Baxter, who ___________________________ (complete the sentence)
   

in 1970 she played in a racing TV movie called The Challengers, but I doubt this is enough to grant her the status of fast woman

[Otto Puzzell]

Their full names of the remaining two were Marsha Bennett and Nikki Phillips

The point goes to Ray.

[Otto Puzzell]

in 1970 she played in a racing TV movie called The Challengers, but I doubt this is enough to grant her the status of fast woman

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?

[Ray B.]

Of course I agree. That's what my "I doubt" meant.

[Otto Puzzell]

One more to go, lads.

[Allemano]

Definitely NOT an eye-candy!

[Aaron65]

Is she some type of motorcycle champion?

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir

[Aaron65]

How about a bicycle rider of sorts, like BMX?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a bicycle rider.

[Allemano]

did she drive something (wo)man-powered?

[Otto Puzzell]

No
