 * Delete (weak one) A brief mention here, two listings here, a photo here, not sure this adds up to GNG material. If sources can be found (books? almanacs?) confirming her role, I can change my view.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:44, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Given the era, it was pretty remarkable for women to be auto racing.  The article needs work and sources, but I think that GNG is met.  In addition to the above, I found this, a brief mention, a video, and the following news stories from the time:, ,  (subscription required to view the last two, but her name was in the Google snippet).

 * Weak Keep, if it was the first all-woman team, I'm actually surprised at the scarcity of coverage, even in newspapers from the time. I was able to find a few brief mentions in addition to what User:Montanabw identified, and I think there's probably enough here.  When I'm at work on Wednesday I'll dig into the archives of the SMH if I have time and have a closer look at those articles.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC).
