Stunt woman Lillian La France...

Circa 1920s– Lillian La France in her early Motordrome riding days.

SHE RIPPED AND SHE ROARED | EPIC WOMEN OF DESTINY & DETERMINATION...

In 1894, Agnes was the second of nine girls born into honest-livin’, hard-workin’ Catholic family standards. She christened herself  Lillian LaFrance and quickly shook the dust of her Kansas hometown from her boots sometime around 1916, and roared off to create the life she had always dreamt of, carving it raw as she went along.  She began Motordrome riding in 1924, and left a blurry, yet brilliant legacy behind that still haunts many who are taken by the images of her incredible spirit staring back through squinty eyes in a copy of a copy of old grainy photos.  Incredible.
