Canadian Marianne Fraser racing her Honda en route to winning the 1991 WERA Formula 3 Expert Championship. Marianne was one of the first, if not the first female WERA Expert National Champion. Interestingly enough Marianne beat Johnny Hodgkiss to win the race. Hodgkiss later became mechanic for Ben Spies during his final season of club racing.

Roger Lyle says:
Larry, Marianne was a great racer. Go farther back in time. Joan Lauren Forrestal of Cabin John, MD. was a fast WERA national champion from 1978, 1979. Also Gina Bovaird on a Yamaha tz 250 and Honda mtr 125 may have won a national championship in that era.I am sure there are others.
Keep up the great history lessons.
