We're excited to offer Avants members a special discount to attend the upcoming Tribute to Paula Murphy at the Petersen Museum on May 24th.
The evening will include a screening of the Paula Murphy: Undaunted documentary, with opening statements from Bruce Meyer and made to order burgers from In-N-Out! Following the screening there will be a panel discussion and silent auction.
Paula Murphy defied odds and stereotypes as she carved her way to becoming the Andy Granatelli-sponsored "Miss STP" by setting speed records and competing in various race categories. While gaining fans, she also drew ire from the NHRA in 1967 when they rescinded her license. A die-hard supporter of her career, Granatelli fought for her place in the sport and was soon reinstated. Despite setbacks and wrecks, Paula did not stop moving and lived on to be known as "the fastest woman on wheels" who broke records, and barriers, for future women in motorsports.
Avants members use code “PAULA-AVANTS” to save $10 on tickets.
We hope to see you there!
