Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
She sued Van Cleve in court over an on-track accident. I think the judge basically told her to "pack sand".

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
That is correct and Jim lost all interest in drag racing afterwards since he fought this on his own with no support from NHRA. They were just watching the developments from the sidelines.

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
they both ran comp at the time. Her lawsuit claimed that he was so pissed he was going to get beat by a girl, that he intentionally crashed both cars

They were both running in comp @ the time. Jim's Mustang was part of Bernstein's superteam.

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
I remember Shirley Muldowney commenting on Lori Johns saying something like drag racing not needing her bimbo ism.
Was that her only lawsuit or was there a top fuel deal too. Mike Taylor 3601 |

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Question for the masses: If you locked up the binders at the finish line, and it caused you to crash your car and the guy next to you, would you help the other guy out with paying for the damages?
I would be sour that I did it to my own car, but completely sickened that I hurt someone's else ride in the process.
