Author Topic: PAFW Fast Girls and Fast Machines - Solved by Ray B., Aaron65, Allan L & João (Read 3376 times)

Similar to Ray B's "Fast Women" puzzle, with some key differences. Some of these pictures are of women who achieved a noteworthy rate of speed. Others are merely associated with, or just photographed with, machines that could go fast, in the finest tradition of juxtapositioning fetching lasses and speed machines.

To earn a point, identify a fast girl (or girls), and what their speed accomplishment(s) were, if any. If they were eye-candy only (in the context of the photograph), please note that when identifying a girl.

Enjoy!

FMFG 1--Jungle Pam Hardy, who helped stage the Jungle Jim funny car for her significant other, Jungle Jim Liberman...

I expect FGFM 4 is Jaqueline Cochran and her Beech 17W with which she set a US women's speed record of 203.895 m.p.h. on 26 July 1937
Oh, and established an altitude record of over 30,000 feet (9,144 m), and finished third in the 1937 Bendix Trophy Race

I think that FMFG #9 is Valentina Terechkova, the first women (russian) cosmonaut.

Correct - and that's a short list of her speed endeavors. She also became the first woman to exceed the speed of sound, in 1953

Are you on a first-name basis with these girls, you lucky guy? Last names needed for points.

I'd say so.

Again, I'd agree

in 1970 she played in a racing TV movie called The Challengers, but I doubt this is enough to grant her the status of fast woman

I had forgotten that one. Acting in a movie about fast cars is closer to being eye candy (though at her age in the '70's, not so much). Agree, or disagree?

Ray B. · « **Reply #16 on:** January 02, 2011, 12:40:31 PM »

Of course I agree. That's what my "I doubt" meant.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2011, 04:43:54 PM »

One more to go, lads.

Allemano · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2011, 04:46:45 PM »

Definitely NOT an eye-candy!

Aaron65 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2011, 05:09:34 PM »

Is she some type of motorcycle champion?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2011, 04:24:52 AM »

No sir

Aaron65 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:11:24 AM »

How about a bicycle rider of sorts, like BMX?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:30:26 AM »

Not a bicycle rider.

Allemano · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:53:25 AM »

did she drive something (wo)man-powered?
