Miami ? Oh, what a class.

In April, former NHRA Top Fuel champion Shirley Muldowney, former CART champion Bobby Rahal, former hydroplane racer Bill Muncey, former NASCAR great Charles “Red” Farmer and former NASCAR president and current vice chairman Bill France Jr. will be inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Only 101 people have been enshrined.

While women still are struggling to make it in most forms of auto racing, Muldowney was a pioneer whose accomplishments have yet to be matched by another of her gender.

In 1976, she was the first woman to win a major motorsports race, capturing the Top Fuel event in Columbus, Ohio. Two years later, she became the first female driver to win a major motorsports championship, with three victories leading to the Top Fuel series title.

After surviving a near-fatal crash in 1984 in Canada, which required 18 months of rehabilitation following surgeries to allow her to walk again, she returned to drag racing to become the first female member of the exclusive Cragar Four-Second Club with a run of 4.974 seconds at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, Pa., and win her 18th and final NHRA event.
