Great interview! Great person, I remember Mary jumping out of her Dodge Omni and hot lapping Father Riley's Cobra back in the days when I ran my 69 Z/28 at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds......not the crappy little course they use now, we used the whole "swap meet" parking lot back then (fast time of day was usually set by a guy named Jack McDonnell in a Lotus 70 Formula 5000 car)
I also remember Larry Park stuffing his 63 Vette through the fence when the throttle stuck one day....almost all the way out onto the roadway.
There is a group of Vette racers in Nor Cal that meet on Thursday nights for dinner, I remember Steve Hobaugh discussing how they were going to run the Good Guys event in the 65 Fuely Vette. The next time I saw someone I asked how Brian had done....someone said he was beaten by "some chick in a Camaro" at the Good Guys event.....Mary Pozzi....later someone clued me in....Pozzi....you probably remember her as "Rice"....upon hearing that name...it all made sense......that's no "chick in a Camaro" that's an "AutoX cyborg" parading around as an innocent happy girl....Mary has always been one to watch when she is out negotiating an AutoX course, one of the All Stars of SoloII.
