TRE Ep 38 Judy Stropus Racing Memories

The Racing Ear Podcast

Hello again Fellow Racing Ears,
In this episode, Trent, Rick, and Jeff were all onboard to have a great discussion and with the 2021 Motorsport Hall Of Fame Of America Inductee, Judy Stropus. Judy Stropus was a pioneer in the development of timing and scoring in auto racing before racing transponders were invented.
Judy became involved in auto racing back in the early 1960's when her boyfriend was road racing in SCCA events in a Jaguar XK120. Timing and scoring was an essential duty for a race team and Judy was able to develop her version of this necessary team duty. Her timing and scoring skills were quickly noticed by many teams throughout the pit lane. Later, her talents gained the attention of Roger Penske, who soon after hired her for Trans Am with Mark Donohue and later Can Am, and even later, the Indianapolis 500.
It was a thrill and an honor to have Judy Stropus on The Racing Ear Podcast.
Thank you for listening to The Racing Ear Podcast!
