Mad for Speed – The Joan Newton Cuneo Story

http://theoldmotor.com/wp-content/up...12/CuneoIV.jpg

Mad for Speed – Joan Newton Cuneo: Author Elsa A. Nystrom has written for us a great overview with wonderful photos of her upcoming book on Cuneo, the first American woman racing driver. She was an extraordinary woman who in 1910, even set a women’s speed record of 112mph on the Long Island Motor Parkway in the Pope-Hartford Hummer. See it on The Old Motor.

One thing I've never figured out was how bowler hats stayed affixed to men's heads.
