Mary McGee, Desert and Road Racer

You may not know who Mary McGee is, but soon enough you will find out how she started racing Porsche cars in the late 50s, motorcycles in the 60s, up to the point where she meets Steve McQueen and gets roped into racing motorcycles in the desert!

I'm pleased to announce that I'll be putting together a little website for Mary so everyone can read her story and see how she made history with women racing motorcycles and cars in Southern California. Being one of the first women to obtain an AFM racing license, she also raced in the desert which led to her racing not only motorcycles but cars and trucks!

In the meantime, check out this pic of her (102) and a few friends racing being the first group of motorcycles to ride down the corkscrew right after it was built.
