| Diana Barfield of Chouteau, OK. and her '68 Camaro Pro Street. It has a 350 engine bored .060 over. Turbo 400 transmission, manual valve body and a 3000 RPM stall convertor. Narrowed 9" Ford Rearend, running 5:13 gears. And it runs a 12.65 in the 1/4 mile! OK guys...eat your hearts out! |
| Who says only men can be gearheads? Not me! High Heels 'n' Hot Wheels is about the Ladies! True Car Show Diva's... and they do it with Diva style! Not all show their own cars, most let their spouse or partner take the credit and collect the trophies. But a well seasoned Diva knows more than enough about her car to hold her own in any circle. These are the ladies who will be featured in High Heels 'n' Hot Wheels! |
Black on Black! This award winning '32 Ford Roadster is owned by Minda Matherne of Bridge City, Texas |
Jody Holton, of Port Arthur, Texas and 'Baby'! Baby is a 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne, white with turquoise interior. She has a 235 straight 6 Blue Flame with a 2 speed power glide automatic transmission. Original engine and tranny. 'She isn't a trailer Queen or a show type car, I just drive her for the fun of it.' And by the way, Jody says power steering is for sissies! |

| Summer Penland just got her 2006 Stage 2 Roush Mustang back from the shop... and the modifications are outstanding! Her 340 HP 'stang sits on 20 in. Victory Wheels and boast an Air Ride Suspension by Marcustoms, Inc., front struts custom made in California, Pypes Violator exhaust and a Cool Air Intake. Summer says, "It is the only air bagged Roush Mustang in Texas as far as I know. I know it's the only one in Houston or Austin and I have not found anything in the Dallas area either. I have been doing my research. In Cali they had to rent one to get the specs right to make the parts for me because It's a very rare car to put air suspension on. I love it and am really happy with the way it turned out." Girls Rule! |

The Car Show Diva (CSD) sent me to the 34th Mid-America Ford and Team Shelby
Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, June 11th to June 15th, to dig up some pics for her page.
The event included two days of playing on the road course at Hallet Raceway, one day of
playing on the drag strip at Tulsa Raceway Park, and finished with a car show on Sunday.
Well, I failed the CSD. I didn’t make the car show. I didn’t make the play days at the
road course. But . . . I DID make it to the drags day. The problem is I was so busy
playing with my old Galaxie that I didn’t get many pics.
It was a great day. I grabbed my son and asked him to get up on a concrete divider and
look around. I asked him what he saw. He responded, “Dad, there are a LOT of cars here.”
Obviously his youth didn’t see the importance of what he was seeing. I said, “Yes, J J,
there ARE a lot of cars here. But, the important thing is that no matter where you look,
there isn’t a Chevy to be seen!!!” Frankly, I’d call it Heaven.
And as long as we were in Heaven, where were the angels? Well, there were a bunch of
them. Most of them were driving store bought performance cars, like late model Mustang
GTs, a few GT500s, some Rousch Mustangs, etc.
What interested me were the angels that came to race, the few that came with slicks;
trans brakes; line-locks; and were talking about their reaction times. My kinda angels.
Well, CSD, I failed you. But, I did get a few pics of a couple of angels, CRDs. That’s
Car Race Divas.
The first is Traci Langley from Claremore, OK. She brought her 1963 Falcon Futura.
What a pretty little car. She was in line next to me in the staging area. I asked her if
I could shoot some pics of her and her Falcon. While I was shooting she said, “Gotta go,
here comes Mom and my baby!” Gotta love it. She ended up running in the 16.00 bracket
and did a great job.
The second one is an angel that has been to the event the last few years. Chareese Uto-
Brust, Joplin, Missouri, brought her ’76 Mustang II Mach 1. It had a 5.0L stuffed in
that little engine compartment and she was running 14.24. Pretty respectable, I’d say.
She surely was proud of this little modern day Rat Rod. It ain’t pretty, it came to race.
I guess that’s all for now. Maybe next year I can do a better job for the CSD. Until
then, I will just relish in the fact that for one day I was in Heaven, that’s spelled FORD.
