This from a trusted historian...1982 was the last season she raced.
Also from National Dragster: Sept 12, 2003
Lucille Lee, a former executive secretary who went from behind the typewriter of a company that sponsored a Top Fuel dragster to the cockpit of a second team car and into the winner's circle at an NHRA national event, died Aug. 24 following a yearlong illness. She was 52.
Lee worked at TR3, which manufactured a resin glaze car wax and sponsored the Top Fuel dragsters of Marvin Graham and Steve Hodkinson. As the legend goes, she attended a national event in 1981 with her employers and saw the TR3 car in action and remarked that it looked like fun. Within the year, she was behind the wheel of a second team car.
Lee stunned the drag racing world when she won the 1982 March Meet in Bakersfield, Calif., defeating Shirley Muldowney in the final. Later that year, she and teammate Hodkinson met in the final round of the Southern Nationals in Atlanta, marking the first team Top Fuel final in NHRA national event history.
