In addition, she was the 1st woman ever to enter the exclusive 200+ mph Club and AMA named her Female Rider.

It was on the last day that the Salts were in the best condition for LSR’s. In the class “New 1350 cc Altered Partially Streamlined Blown fuel” Leslie Porterfield did a pass at 240 mph and her return at 228 mph slowed down by a blistered tire (the tire didn’t blow out!) due to intense wheel spin. At the last minute, Richard Assen who held the previous record at 227 mph rushed on the track and did 2 passes at 230 mph to establish a new record at 236 mph.

On the last day, her top speed entering the mile was 246.6 mph, but on the return run she lost speed toward the end. due to overheating from wheel spin but, fortunately, the tire didn’t blow out!.

Athena Annis

Athena (Annis) an old fbb, one of the most beautiful women to compete in bodybuilding, with particularly good size and shape in her arms and legs.

She was an easy winner of the lightweight class at the 1988 Jr. USA's,and probably would have won the overall, but unfortunately, she was disqualified for hitting an illegal moon pose.
It's hard to believe that she was really a lightweight - she looks much bigger, particularly in the arms and legs and her excellent biceps.

Athena poses in many different swimsuits and dresses, and again, we find in her the unreal combination of beauty and physique on one so young. For a long, long time, 'Athena' (Annis) was considered to have the best physique ever for a teenager,when she was 18 years old.
