Nice find. Like the TVR ad
(yes, now that I'm married, I'm just like all you other married-guys; lusting after women in car ads
)
BTW Palero, were you even born when this was first published?!

JoAnn Lynch won B Stock ladies that year. Other CA people that I don't recognize. Pg 17.

I loved my 280Z.

Wow, what a great find. Nor Cal was more of a National level powerhouse then. Only other names besides JoAnn I recognize for SoCal were Ron Haase and Tracy Cook. But a number of other recognizable names that I didn't personally know. Note Pro Solo was not part of SCCA then.

Mary Rice is now Mary Pozzi after she married Dave. She's come down for some of our nat'l events. And the divisional series I think.

Yes, the same Mary. KJ, she got her start driving a 240Z. Dave, had(has) a T-70.
Go figure.
