Enigma
There were a couple in the mid seventies Sue and also one who was a sidecar passenger.
One of the girls (Joanne Miekeljohn, later Holden) was probably the fastest I've seen. 250 and 410prod. Gaz.
Off the wagon
I believe the first woman to hold a race licence in NZ was a woman by the name of Glennis Watercamp. IIRC she rode a BSA of some sort. She used to do the Wall of Death too. She's well into her seventies now and stays at my aunties place in the summer months. Next time I visit I will ask her details of her experiences. She's an incredibly interesting woman.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Karel made history by becoming the first woman to win a solo NZ National Championship when she won the 2006 title in the 250GP class.

When you say later Holden was she married to Robert Holden?.

Its a circus act, where the bikes ride round the walls of a small inclosed cylindrical (normally wooden) area
No she married F J Holden, more famous on fours wheels than two.

Blowin up bikes since ages ago
I remember not long after starting my current job I out to meet with a vendor and met with a lady who had done the Castrol 6 hour (??) on a RD350 'back in the day'. Her name was Kerry something from memory....
Yeah I know, not much help but might ring some bells with someone..?

Thanks anyway but I am more interested in Female Road Racing and knowing who was the very 1st NZ Female Road Racer.
Retirement with a cause
Ahhh she was only the fastest cause she always beat the likes of me lol.
And now if you get lost in the hills she is more than likely to be the one that rescues you.
One seriously awesome lady .
