Patton,
This is really interesting. I started a thread here on "celebrity" Healey
owners: http://tinyurl.com/7ysqexo I'd love to learn more about an
African-American Healey pilot.

What a wonderful article about your Grandmother! I never found more
information after that post 6 years ago
I know the Healey list strips attachments, but with your permission I can
post it so everyone else can read it.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am the grandaughter of LaRuth Bostic. I believe the attached is confirmation
of " a interesting and notable piece of history". I hope this information is
helpful. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerly,

While doing a little more digging on early 100-Six racing, I found a
list of many SCCA races listing the entrants along with car for 1957
(LOTS of Healeys). If you follow this link
http://wsrp.wz.cz/natus1957.html#179 , it lists La Ruth Bostic driving
a 100-6 in 3 races at Riverside in 1957
I decided to see who she was I came across this link
http://www.mshf.com/cgi/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=categories&action=display&num=109
3626162
referring to a LaRuth Bostic (slightly different spelling) as being
the first African-American female race car driver.
Does anyone know about this, its an interesting and notable piece of
history if it can be confirmed.
Patton
