The rules of NHRA Stock did not prevent women from racing so when Carol Cox showed up at Indy 1961 to race her Pontiac she was so outraged that NHRA denied her entrance, she went to the local press who pressured NHRA to "follow your own rules." Carol went down in history as the first woman ever to win an NHRA event.
