History was Made in Drag racing.


25 years old Ashley Force beat father John on Sunday in the NHRA Southern Nationals to become the first female driver to win a national Funny Car event.

Ashley had a run of 4.837 seconds at 320.36 mph at Atlanta Dragway in her Castrol GTX Ford Mustang to take a 59-point lead over Tim Wilkerson in the season standings.

John Force said after his 25-year-old daughter became the first woman ever to win an NHRA event title in a fuel coupe. "I've been racing for practically my whole life and raced all the greats -- [Don] Prudhomme, [Kenny] Bernstein, [Raymond] Beadle and more drivers than I can count, and racing my own daughter in a final round is something you can't put into words.

Automotive History.

As you may know, in 1942, During WW2, rationing of different foods, gas, and clothing began because the soldiers needed the items to aid them in fighting the war. Ration stamps such were issued to all Americans and used to buy rationed items.

This gasoline ration book is a Type R Non-Highway which allowed the owner 5 gallons of gas per week per coupon.This collection contains certificates and stamps which were used for the purchase of
bicycles, automobiles, food, fuel oil, gasoline, rubber footwear, shoes, sugar, tires and
typewriter rental. It also contains War Ration Books One through Three and Five.
These books were intended primarily for use with food items. Books One and Two were
distributed through public schools. Book Three was distributed through the mail. Book
Four (not included in the collection) was distributed through school systems and lasted,
with the addition of ration tokens, until the end of the war. War Ration Book Five was
prepared in early 1945, and several million copies of it were printed before
V-E Day (May 8, 1945), when work on the book was abandoned.

Automotive History.

Economically, the seventies were marked by the energy crisis which peaked in 1973 and 1979 (see 1973 oil crisis and 1979 oil crisis). After the first oil shock in 1973, gasoline was rationed in many countries. Europe particularly depended on the Middle East for oil; the U.S. was also affected even though it had its own oil reserves. Many European countries introduced car-free days. In the U.S., customers with a license plate ending in an odd number were only allowed to buy gasoline on odd-numbered days, while even-numbered plate-holders could only purchase gasoline on even-numbered days.
