  • My Porsche 911 at Roswell: Here is my new car, with its brand new "Lime Lite" paint , on its first starting grid with me standing behind it in my lime green pith helment which I needed since it was a really dreary weekend where it rained quite hard sometimes...and us with only slicks! It was so cold my husband said his teeth were chattering and legs shaking as he went down the straight.

  • Vick Campbell's Midwest Division-winning TR-4: This is Vick Campbell's red TR-4, pictured in his home garage, that basically pushed my husband into racing about 1964. John saw it at a Tulsa import car dealership's shop where Vick's mechanic, Cooper, worked. Not long afterwards, as luck would have it, John spotted a TR-4 race car in Tulsa on a used car lot and traded a beautiful 1963 Plymouth Fury for it. John's brother, James, still owns the TR-4 and is in the midst of restoring it for vintage racing.

  • Speaking of #33: Also running #33, as was John McCombs, was Paul Newman, shown here at Riverside International in '78 or '79 in an IMSA race we went to. The Datsun is shown heading back to the start/finish line with the famous Riverside "S" turns grandstand in the background.
