Condolence: Donna Mae -MIMMSY--You will be so missed!! Cookie

Condolence: Thank you Donna Mae for being a part of SCCA (Sports Car Club of America). You are a credit to the sport of racing and will be remembered as a "classy lady" and friend.

Condolence: A race competitor once said of Donna Mae; "She makes pink go fast". Thank You Pink Lady.

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. Bill

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. Chris Fox, EP Caterham 7

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).

Condolence: It was a honor having Donna Mae as a Charter Member of the Yenko Sportscar Club and her attendance at the first annual Supercar Reunion was very special to alot of us. She will be sadly missed by all of us.

Condolence: Scott, Kerrie and Bryan as well as the staff of Nelson Ledges Road Course will miss this great Lady. Our condolences to her family and friends.

Condolence: Donna made great contributions to motorsport, racing, yenko stingers; in short a life well lived. Thank you for sharing the stories of your racing feats, the history of Yenko Chevrolet and the fact that you were there. Multiple disciplines of the car hobby will miss you. John Gray Oshawa, Ontario YS063

Condolence: A special Donna Mae decal will adorn my Corvair racer so that in some small way Donna Mae will still be racing. See you down the road

Condolence: Goodbye to Donna Mae who did so much for racing throughout her life and whose speed and good humor will always be missed. Think Pink!

Condolence: All of us at Vintage Motorsport salute the many contributions Donna Mae made to motorsport. She was completely unique, even going braless while being sponsored by a brassiere manufacturer. You will be missed by all, Your Pinkness.

Condolence: We have lost an historic figure in American motorsports. Donna Mae was a very talented driver who broke stereotypes and had fun doing it. Her personality and independence are characteristics that make auto racing such a unique sport. My last memory of her was when she was at Watkins Glen in 2008 at the BARC 50th anniversary party. She was full of energy and was of course, dressed in pink. Her foresight in bringing Laura Daisy to the affair added another dimension to the festivities. My sincere condolences to all of her family and many friends.

Condolence: A tribute to Donna Mae, a lady who devoted her lifetime to her passion.
