		The only time we have seen a comparable achievement to Patrick's performance was back in 1926 when Elizabeth Junek, a 26-year-old from Czechoslovakia took part in the Targa Florio, the toughest motor race of them all at the time.
		Later that year Junek's husband was killed racing at the Nurburgring and she quit the sport, living quietly in Czechoslovakia until her death in the early 1990s.
		Junek might have achieved much more and the glory of Danica Patrick is that she is just beginning her international career.

		I loved the Deed of Paksenarrion and have have mixed (but mostly positive) reactions to the rest of her books.
		It was too toothless for a tragedy, too wandering for a saga, too diffuse for a character study.
		Elizabeth Moon is going firmly into my "used only" category until I find something of hers to be a lot more enthusiastic about.

	Eliska Junkova: The Czech racing queen of the Jazz Age - 29-09-2004 - Radio Prague
		She loved to study foreign languages and by the age of 16, spoke fluent German and passable English, skills which helped her land a job in the Olomouc branch of a mortgage bank after high school.
		It was in the Olomouc bank that she met Vincenc "Cenek" Junek, an ambitious young man who had been discharged from the army after being shot in the hand and was then charged with getting the branch up and running.
		The Juneks bought a second Bugatti to celebrate but also because that year riding mechanics were banned on the big-name European circuits, as they had been in America, and the couple had to race separately.

	Sports Car Market > Profiles and Price Guide > 1923 Bugatti Type 32 Tank Replica
		During the course of the rally the car was greatly admired by Elizabeth Junek who, with her husband, had bought one of the Tanks from Bugatti in 1923 and had driven it in several Czechoslovakian hillclimbs.
		Immediately after the rally a number of initial teething troubles were resolved before the Tank was trailered to Tours where, fifty-eight years after the event, it was driven at representative speeds around the original 1923 Grand Prix course.
		He kept one, sold one to Madame Elizabeth Junek, and the third one disappeared.

	Atlas F1 Bulletin Board - Women drivers!
		What makes Junek's performance unforgetable is that she was opposed to magic names and she was ahead of the great drivers of the time : Campari, Divo and if I remember well other magic names as Nuvolari and Chiron, many of them on the same car (Bugatti T35 ?).
		The supercharged Audi Quattro that Michèle Mouton drive during her most successfull years had not the reputation to be "easier" to drive as the Bugatti and the pilots she was opposed to were not amateurs in any sense of the word and her achievements are at least of the same level.
		But the fact Junek retired at the death of her husband (could be because she was out of money...) had a flavor of romantism to her story.

		There are not many countries which can claim that their most famous racing driver was a woman but in the case of Czechoslovakia there is no doubt.
		Eliska Junkova - who was known in the West as Elizabeth Junek - was probably the greatest woman racer there has ever been.
		When the war ended a new republic called Czechoslovakia was formed, and stability returned, the pair were married.

		After the Tours GP they bought a Tank Bugatti but the road holding was suspect, they complained to Bugatti and where given the choice of one of the new cars they chose a type 35S.
		Between 1924 and 26 Elizabeth competed in several Czech events and then decided to tackle the Klausen Hill Climb and was 2nd in class.
		They then decided that they would do the Targa Florio and after walking most of the circuit she managed to get to 4th on the first lap and was doing well until a breakdown stopped here.

		For much of the next decade, Seymour says, Nice "drove on Europe's most demanding courses and she did her best to drive, without the concession of a handicap, against the best male drivers of the time," but her racing record was, on balance, only fair.
		The greatest female driver of her era, by general consent, was Elizabeth Junek, another Bugatti driver.
		But Nice was gifted, for it was extraordinarily difficult to drive cars like a supercharged Bugatti or an Alfa Romeo -- and frightening.

		There are a few fiddly details such as light bars and exhausts which need to be shaped, but the instructions are reasonably clear and the experienced builder shouldn't have too many problems.
		The next set of parts offers the unique Type 35 made for Czechoslovakian lady racer Elizabeth Junek in 1928.
		This will be a slightly simpler build than the T55 as it is a single colour paint finish and there aren't any parts requiring pre-shaping.

	Automotive History for Women -- ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
		During the '50s, Denise McCluggage surfaced as one of the most celebrated racers of her time, with wins in automobiles ranging from Ferrari's, Porsches, OSCAs, and Ford Falcons, on surfaces as diverse as Sebring's flat and bumpy runways, the Nьrburgring's many twists and turns, and the rally circuit's snowy mountain passes.
		Truly a pioneer, McCluggage recharged waning inertia of such pre-war women drivers as Elizabeth Junek and Brenda Stewart, heralding the worldwide acceptance of soon-to-be heroines such as Janet Guthrie, Shirley Muldowney, and Lyn St. James.
		McCluggage played an important and significant role in elevating women race car drivers from mere novelty to serious competitors.

		Childish, I’m sure, but a somewhat chastened husband might learn from the experience and start to recognize what good driving really involves.
		There have been some astonishingly capable women racers, going as far back as the 1930s, when a Czech lady who I believe was named Elizabeth Junek competed on equal terms with the guys, on a world-class level.
		More recently, there have been examples like Michele Mouton, who stunned the rally world with her performances in one of the early Audi Quattros.
