Sue Spenser was a many time champion in the Illini Racing Series. Prior to that I believe she was a Badger rookie of the year in the days when that really meant something. Of course she also got a helicopter ride out of Angell Park and went on to race some more. All of which makes her a "real" racer in my book.
No list of women in oval racing should omit Kara Hendricks either. Who knows what she could have accomplished had ther life been longer.
