Oldest Woman Racer



Betty Skelton Erde sits behind the wheel of her 2002 Corvette at her home in The Villages, Fla., in a July 17, 2008 photo. An auto racing pioneer, Erde once was the fastest woman on Earth, setting female speed records at Daytona Beach and Utah's Bonneville salt flats half a century ago. On Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2008, she reaches a new milestone as only the fifth woman inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in suburban Detroit.
