Shirley Muldowney is a legend in the Drag Racing world, she became a World Champion and proved all the male racers wrong in a time when women were expected to be in the kitchen. She paved the way for many talented women Drag Racers.
An absolute MUST OWN if you are a race fan.

HEART LIKE A WHEEL IS A FANTASTIC MOVIE. I REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING IT. IN FACT I LIKED IT SO MUCH I HAVE SEEN IT 15 TIMES.Movie Review: Older NHRA fans delight
Summary: 4 Stars
Does the names Big Daddy, Don Garlits, Connie Kalitta or Cha Cha Muldowney get your motor running? If you are a true NHRA fan and old enough to know these names then you are going to love Heart Like a Wheel from beginning to end. Even better is this video comes packaged with a genuine Hot Wheels dragster that is a replica of Shirley's car. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Safe enough for all ages to watch!
Summary of Heart Like a Wheel
This was one of those little movies in the early 1980s that had to struggle to reach audiences because the studios weren't sure how to market it. That's a shame because it had in Bonnie Bedelia an appealingly gritty leading lady. She plays real-life drag-race driver Shirley Muldowney in a biopic about Muldowney's uphill fight to make it in what was at that point a man's sport. Beside battling sexist attitudes, Muldowney also has to cope with issues of career-vs.-family, as well as the struggle between romance and competition when she falls for another driver (Beau Bridges). Heart Like a Wheel was directed by Jonathan Kaplan, who seems to have made a career of films that have trouble making it to the marketplace. --Marshall FineBiography Video
