Condolence: I will miss you Donna Mae. You were a unique person whom I was honored to know. Now you Don Yenko & Bob McClure can be doing laps in the great race yard of the great beyond. May the Lord bless you & hold you tight to him. I'll miss you very much.

Condolence: On behalf of Harvey, Connie and the the staff at Virginia International Raceway, we send our deepest condolences on the loss of Donna Mae. She raced her pink H Production Sprite at VIR in 1962 and 1963. In 1964, she entered her famous "Think Pink" MGB at VIR. Her final VIR appearance was in 1966 when she drove a Yenko Stinger to a seventh place finish. She was a ground-breaking woman and will be missed but her contributions will not be forgotten.

Condolence: My earliest racing memories include being regaled with Donna Mae Mims stories. Many years later I had the great thrill of meeting, and talking to her when she worked Grid at several tracks. Hard to believe someone of her small stature could stomp open doors and charge thru them so successfully - until you hear the stories first hand and see the grin on her face. God speed Donna, I'll miss seeing your smile when I'm on the grid at the Steel Cities races.

Condolence: Rest in Peace from a Canadian motor sport fan

Condolence: Donna Mae was not the first accomplished woman race car driver but I believe she was the first to demonstrate such passion and dedication to motorsports, and she had great fun while she was at it. I was fortunate enough to see her race, if only a few times, but to my delight her beautifully restored Spridget #23 was at the 2008 SCCA RunOffs. I took some photos and will email them gladly to anyone who requests (at the ah3000 eddress shown above).
