Nancy Dewar corners her Honda RS125 in a WERA sprint race at Putnam Park Road Course in July of 1993. Dewar was a rapidly improving road racer in ’93. In May of that year she came to Putnam and scored a best of fourth-place. Two months later she won two races. The last I heard Dewar was still racing motorcycles in recent years, but had switched to off-road events. During the early 1990s Dewar dated Canada’s version of Johnny Knoxville, a guy named Ralph Zavadil, who did crazy stunts on a local TV shows years before the Jackass phenomenon. A couple of years ago a movie was made about Zavadil and in the movie’s trailer there is a brief scene of Dewar racing.
