Pretty neat to see a woman interviewed. Actually neat to see a sportsman racer interviewed period. We now own the Delorenza Car now and our son drives it. Painted white and Blue but still has all the old 1970's NHRA stickers from many of the National events. Wonder if she is still living? Good film wonder what happened in the semis since it doesn't show that round.

There were three cars in the semi's. Bob Harrison beat Jim Boburka and Bobby Warren had the bye run. Then Bobby Warren won over Bob Harrison in the final.

Her ex-husband Dennis is alive and well and has an engine building / machine shop here in Tempe, AZ. Judy is still around; wasn't that her racing Don Garlits in te pair of Challengers in Denver last year?

Yes that was her racing Garlits last year. She is still kicking around somewhere.

Cool video, and good to see my friend and mentor, the late great Joe "Moon" De Lorenzo doing what he did best.
