And in the 1988 Suzuka results were Kathleen Coburn and Toni Sharpless (Team Nescafe Americana), two girls from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.
I raced against both of them in the early 80s at Shannonville, Sanair, and Mosport, then they landed this contract to race in Japan. It was an opportunity that happened to very few Canadian racers. Pat White
