Our next featured woman of Saleen is Lisa Caceres, former racecar driver for Saleen Autosport. In 1987 Saleen entered the SCCA Escort Endurance Series with a three-car team, winning the Team, Manufacturer and Tire championships. This included an all-female driving team that included Lisa Caceres in the #20 racecar. Other drivers for Saleen Autosport included Steve Saleen, George Follmer, Rick Titus, Parnelli Jones, and Desire Wilson. While she raced sports cars and saloons in the USA, Caceres was also a deputy sheriff who posed as a decoy, lone-hiker in an attempt to capture serial killer David Carpenter, aka the Trailside Killer.
