Melanie Troxel/NHRA Top Fuel Champ 2006??
She has the best chance of any woman to win a major auto racing championship...good competitive equipment out of Don Schumacher's stable...not only is she consistent..she is consistently fast.
Rookie Hillary Will has a Kalitta Top Fuel tune-up...and will be heard from in the second half of the season. You can also read her blog at hillarywillrace.com .
Both are the real deal...which is not good for the IRL (Danica Patrick), Champ Car (Katherine Legge) and NASCAR (Erin Crocker) marketeers who must tub thump for their racing ladies.
Just for the record...Shirley Muldowney is a past NHRA Top Fuel champion...won hers 30 some years ago.
