The Pink Lady passes

[glen242]

Donna Mae Mims, the Pink Lady, passed away over the weekend. Newspaper report said the funeral parlor managed to get her '78 pink Corvette into the viewing room and had her positioned behind the wheel. She was the first woman SCCA champ

The paper said a number of Corvettes were in the funeral procession.

She was 82 and stricken by a stroke.

I lusted after her about 50 years ago.
