"Petticoat Derby" Protest
| Press release photograph of a woman holding a picket sign reading "unfairly difficult driving problem" in mock protest of the difficulty of events involved in the "Petticoat Derby." Original caption reads: "This pouting picket has discovered the 'straight line problem' to be negotiated by 'Petticoat Derby' contestants isn't half as easy as it may look. The problem is one of four competitive driving maneuvers the wives of state truck driving champs will tackle in Kansas City, Missouri, September 19 at the National Truck Rodeo sponsored by the American Trucking Associations, Inc. The official derby vehicle, an International Scout 800, must have its right wheels driven between two lines of teed up balls only four inches further apart than the width of a tire." |
