Who is Miss Mernone
 
Who is Pat Mernone? Well i know a little bit from Rinsey Mills "Essential AC Cobra" book page 19. Apparently in 1965 she gave demo rides in Cobras to press who visited the Cobra Caravan tour. I also read that she abandoned the sports car circuit to accompany the tour.
Anybody know anymore about Pat Mernone?

Patricia Mernone was one of a few women who competed in SCCA Regional racing in the 60's

She ran an Austin Healey Sprite in 1963 and a Morgan +4 in 1964-66, according to race results.

An article in the fall of 1967 had her appearance at VIR in a Porsche mentioned:

"...Virginia International Raceway Event 10/67...

Appearing with a 911 S Porsche will be Patricia Mernone, one of the country's best women drivers.
Pat is an editorial assistant for the American Chemical Society...
Pat said she once counted the courses she had driven on in the United States and the number came to sixteen..."
