Pair of Women in Motorsports events will celebrate racer Paula Murphy

Women in Motorsports North America is set to pay tribute to "The Fastest Woman on Wheels" at a pair of upcoming events in Los Angeles and Detroit.

Up first is a VIP screening of Paula Murphy: UNDAUNTED and panel discussion at The Petersen Automotive Museum on Wednesday, May 24.

The evening will begin with made-to-order burgers from In-N-Out, followed by a welcome from Bruce Meyer and the screening of the documentary. Capping off the evening will be a panel discussion hosted by award-winning broadcast presenter/reporter, Amanda Busick.

The Panel will include LandSpeed Louise (storyteller and land speed racing expert), Paula Murphy (racer subject of the film), Pam Miller (co-producer of the film), Lyn St. James (racer and co-founder of Women in Motorsports).

Net proceeds will benefit Women In Motorsports North America, a 501c3 founded in 2022. A community of professionals is devoted to enabling opportunities for women across all motorsports disciplines.

A week later is the second annual Women in Racing event at the Automotive Hall of Fame Thursday, June 1, leading into IndyCar's Detroit Grand Prix weekend.

The event features the Midwest theater debut of the documentary, a discussion with co-producers Pam Miller and Cindy Sisson, and a Women in Racing panel with host Lyn St. James interviewing racing sensations Sabré Cooke and Katie Hettinger, team owner Victoria Thomas with KellyMoss and Lisa Bogg with Firestone.

"The panel will be special," noted Lyn St. James "Here's a piece of wonderful history - a woman that did all these amazing things - and now sitting before us are the women doing these things today. It's a great way to connect the past and the present."

The event will culminate with drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and an opportunity for conversations. More details including ticket information can be found HERE.
