Re: Women racing in Ohio 1940s
|
I did search a little more in - the Lesick family seem to feature in the Salem, OH, newspapers. Found mention of a marriage license for Steve, a Helen Lesick becoming Helen Sox, but no mention of her with race results between 1935 and 1955. The only mention of Julia was that Longview result.

There were 4 racing Lesick's who hailed from Ohio. Steve Lesick who raced just about everything, Another brother lost his life in a racing accident. The 2 woman were, Helen and Julia.?
A family member is putting together a history photo album for my mothers 100th birthday in May.?
It appears that mom is the sole surviving member of the Lesick family from the Youngstown, Hubbard Ohio areas.?
A little insight into Steve Lesick. His wife gave him an ultimatum: Pick racing or her, but you can't do both. Steve chose to retire from racing and become a family man. His day job was mechanic for the Blaney family race cars.?
