Did some Snooping...Found This:

"Bunny poses beside her second bright red Mustang, in the late '60s. Part of Bunny’s popularity stemmed from her participation in Tom "Smoker" Smith’s Miss Universe of Drag Racing tour. Bunny remembered the tour with affection, calling it "a traveling circus." It was a hit with the fans, who liked the quality of the racing almost as much as the hot pants contests that the Miss Universe drivers participated in. "We would strut our stuff," Bunny said, and the crowds "would yell and clap and carry on...." Sounds exploitative, and it probably was. But drag racing is an expensive sport, and playing by Smith’s rules was one way that Bunny and the other women could stay in the game."
