    Arguably as much an influence as Shirley Muldowney in drag racing, Bunny Burkett passed in her sleep last night.
    RIP

    Carol " Bunny " Burkett, was a truly unique lady, and a respected Drag Racer. She was a cool pioneer in the world of drag racing, she will be missed!

    She signed the dash of my 1950 Ford at a Nostalgic Drag Meet in 1997 at Dinwiddie in Virginia. Don Garlits also signed it. Sorry to hear of her passing. RIP

    Wow! I used to work for her crew chief. He also crew chiefed several AA fuel cars. He is the one that taught me transmissions. Best trans guy around at the time. Condolences to the Burkett family.
