Life before Death.
Barbara Roufs joined the drag race scene as trophy girl in the early ’70s when the competition had evolved from the golden ages of sixties. The old model of cars had been replaced with the newer version, and the old dragsters were replaced by fuelers that had driver seat behind the motor. The texts of cars got improving over the years. The swag for the race attendants also changed over time. For the ladies, hair grew long, shorts got short, and bras got burned.
With her broad straightened hair, easy-breezy freedom tanks, and old sixties gogo boots, she was a perfect candidate for the trophy girl. In the era of Professional Dragster Association by Doug Kruse on the streets of California, only ladies with height, body, and beauty like Barbara Roufs would fit that position. She brought life to the races, excitement to the fans and earned a name out of it.
