Lisa Devlin
SCCA DSR Driver
 
Dr. Lisa Devlin first got into performance driving through the
Pantera and Shelby Clubs. Open tracking with the clubs gave her the
opportunity to drive her street car on a real race track at speed.
It was also a great way to learn and refine performance driving
skills that were beneficial both on and off the track. Lisa was 25
when she took her first track excursion at Laguna Seca in August
1989 and was immediately hooked.
She got her racing license in 1996 with an 82 RX7 that she built
from a street car. Although, she never completed a full season in
the RX7, she did gain valuable seat time in preparation for her next
endeavor - a faster car.
She helped build her current race car - an A-Mac D Sports Racer -
from the ground up. It was in this car that her racing career
finally got going. In her first full season of racing, Lisa drove to
a second place finish in the San Francisco Region Sports Car Club of
America (SCCA) Regional Road Racing series championships - only six
points behind the first place driver. In addition, the Racing
Driver's Club (RDC) awarded her a Second Place finish in their
championship race and voted her the recipient of the James Hughes
Memorial Trophy for the Most Improved Driver in Northern
California. This Trophy goes back to 1960 and Lisa's is the first
female name to be added since that time.
Besides driving, the Shelby Club and the SCCA afforded Lisa the
opportunity to become involved in other aspects of the track. She
has been active in the Nor Cal Shelby Club's annual "Mini-Nats"
convention, volunteering in the capacity of Car Show Chairperson and
Registration Chairperson. With the SCCA, she is involved with Timing and Scoring, and she is a recent addition to the board of
directors for the Racing Driver's Club.
Professionally, Dr. Lisa Devlin is a chiropractor in private
practice for the past six years in Mountain View, CA. She
specializes in the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique and is a
Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner. She is also certified in
animal chiropractic by the American Veterinary Chiropractic
Association.
As a business owner, Dr. Lisa Devlin is very comfortable on and
off the track in public relations and networking. Besides
volunteering at the track, she is also very involved in the
community as a volunteer. Some of her off-track volunteer work
includes serving on the Women in Business Steering and the
Ambassador Committees for the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce,
organizing food drives to benefit the local Community Services
Agency, and reading day at the local grade school. Her track related
volunteer work includes Timing and Scoring for the SCCA and driver
instruction for the Nor Cal Shelby Club. She also enjoys writing
about her experiences behind the wheel.
