Here is the beginning of an article about Karen and her FFR Daytona Coupe. Date: 2-10-2021
Karen Salvaggio Ed.D., 64, a health and wellness coach and retired school superintendent living in Hemet, Calif., on her Factory Five Daytona Coupe tribute, as told to A.J. Baime.
My entire life I have loved speed. When I was a kid, I would make road courses in the street using paint cans so I could ride my Huffy bike around it, trying to go faster and faster. I watched racing on ABC “Wide World of Sports” and I would say, “Someday I am going to do that!”
I joined the Air Force and became a B-52 mechanic, and through that I met a guy who ran stock cars in central California. He asked me to come to the track one day to help him and while I was there, he let me take the car out. I didn’t know what I was doing. All I knew was that I was in heaven. The very next Monday I bought my first race car, a stripped down 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 that came from a chicken ranch.
Here is a link to the article, I hope the entire article will come up for you: https://www.wsj.com/articles/this-factory-five-daytona-coupe-tribute-called-the-huntress-stalks-its-prey-on-the-racetrack-11612879345?mod=searchresults_pos1&page=1
Let me know if it does not, George
