JANET GUTHRIE 1978 TEXACO STAR SPECIAL BELL HELMET

THE FIRST LADY OF INDY 500 HISTORY. GUTHRIE SET THE MEN'S WORLD ON THEIR EAR WHEN SHE SHOWED UP AT INDY IN 1976. HAVING FAILED TO QUALIFY IN '76 SHE RETURNED IN 1977 TO BECOME THE FIRST WOMAN TO QUALIFY FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS 500. THIS BEAUTIFUL REPLICA DEPICTS HER 1978 TEXACO STAR BELL STAR HELMET. GUTHRIE STARTED THE 1978 SPEED CLASSIC IN 15TH STARTING POSITION AND DROVE A VERY SMOOTH RACE TO BRING HOME HER WHITE, PINK AND RED WILDCAT HOME IN 9TH POSITION.
