EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Hurlburt Hurricane, a unique Formula One racer with the registration number NX1223. The Hurricane holds an intriguing history, as it was designed and built by an all-female team consisting of Mildred Caldwell, Margaret Hurlburt, and Anna Logan from Cleveland, Ohio. Their creation was powered by a potent 85hp Continental C85 engine. The Hurlburt Hurricane made its presence felt in the racing world during the late 1940s and early 1950s. However, the team faced an unexpected challenge when they were barred from participating in the prestigious Goodyear competition due to the event's restriction on female pilots. Despite this setback, the Hurricane continued to leave its mark on the racing scene. NX1223 was eventually flown in various competitions by Eugene "Joe" Smith, who gave it new life as the Camburn Special. The Hurricane's distinctive design, innovative engineering, and the indomitable spirit of its female creators continue to inspire and captivate racing enthusiasts to this day. This photograph is a testament to the groundbreaking achievements of Mildred Caldwell, Margaret Hurlburt, and Anna Logan, who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on the world of motorsports. Their story serves as a reminder that passion, determination, and innovation can overcome even the most formidable obstacles.
