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. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Hell of a talented lady RIP you will be missed. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-official-h-a-m-b-carol-bunny-burkett-thread.412347/ Left to right we've got; Shay Nichols, the second lady, I have no clue, anyone? next, Della Woods, Linda Vaughn, Bunny Burkett, Judy Lilly, Paula Murphy and Hurst girl Nikki Phillips. The names are all familar and the face of the second one is, the name escapes me though.
