Does anyone have any contact information for Lynda Ferreri? She was listed as car owner for Janet Guthrie back in 1977-79. I really don't even know if she is still alive. Thanks.

Our RR member, Will Cronkrite worked on the Janet Guthrie car crew. He might be a source. Here are a couple of links:

bryan - lynda passed away several years ago - she was working for first union bank i think she was a advertising vp - i think she was from pennsylvania - she had a unique accent - it was quite a spectacle back then - i think bruton smith bought a car from hoss ellington which lynda purchased from bruton - junior johnson has some funny stories about herb nab putting the setup in the car - i do remember it was number 68 and i think kelly girl was sponsor - dale sr was scared she would out qualify him - he didnt have the best equipment back then - he only beat her one or two positions - she finished 15th in the race - all the water got used up at the track that day - and it was hot - i remember fire trucks bringing water to the track - with bruton and humpy hyping the race - the place was packed .

Thanks for the update, David.

There are some interesting interviews of Janet, Humpy, Bruton and Junior Johnson about the car and Lynda at this link:
