While going through some old negs I found this image of Rob Walker in the pits during practice at the 1961 Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. Just wondering if anyone knows who the very pretty young lady is in the pic. thanks, Ron Nelson

Is it Elaine Barbarino?

I am not familiar with that name. Is she an actress or a friend of one of the drivers?

Elaine Barbarino became Mrs Stirling Moss in 1964. I remembered seeing a picture of her in his "Unauthorized Biography". Moss, of course, was driving for Rob Walker in 1961 at Watkins Glen. I don't know if it's OK to scan and post the picture, but to me, the young lady in your picture looks very similar to the lady shown next to Moss in this book, identified as his second wife.

Thanks, I suspected it was someone with Stirling.
