Number 080 is
the Mustang owned by the Lee and Karen Duquette's daughter and son-in-law.
This was an evening that allowed drivers to have a passenger, so John
Smythers took Karen Duquette in his mustang on the racetrack. After
all, Karen had her racetrack winners flag pants on. |

Below: While in high School,
Karen drove a 1/2 midget at several racetracks in California. Her oldest
brother, Evie John was her coach. Her parents did NOT come to watch
her race, and not many photographs were taken of her racing (or growing
up either), but Karen is thankful for a few. Her brother, Evie, also
drove the same race car in the adult division on the same dates. |
