1998 | Mildred Foulke

Mildred Foulke

Foulke of Essex, MD, was the widow of 1961 Honor Squadron inductee Frank Foulke. Labeled the "Queen of Speed" by Speed and Spray, Mildred was certainly the woman behind the man. She hauled their boats to the races while Frank attended to business.

Mildred and Frank together took 38 World Records, all with a souped-up Plymouth or Studebaker engine. She raced in the 225 Hydro, D Racing Runabout and the 266 Hydro classes. With much less weight, Millie could get added speed. Her beautiful Sagana 266 cubic inch Hydro was the boat to beat. In 1953 Mildred and Frank were both inducted into the 100 MPH Club; the first husband and wife to be inducted at the same time.

She was the first woman to top 100 MPH in a racing boat, putting Sagana 13 through the trap at an average speed of 111.289 mph in 1953. Mildred was a continuous and loyal member of APBA, and a goodwill ambassador from 1939 until her death. As stated in Ripley's Believe it or Not, Mildred and Frank Foulke were the First Family of power boat racing.
