There was a young lady racing a black TR4 with a full roll cage at Mid-Ohio
in 1992 at the All Triumph Weekend. The TR4 was No. 444 and the name on her
door was Cindy Owen. I believe she may have come from the West Coast.
Can anybody help Simon find out more about this lady.

PS. - Simon - I'll e-mail you a couple of photos.
