Chevelles Put On A Show Thursday Night. Racers tune up for Sunday's Summit Race.

It was "tune up time" Thursday night as many local racers made sure their cars were ready for the March 28th Summit Race at Irwindale Dragstrip. It was also "showtime" for Ilene Pandeles, Pete "Wild Man" Gallup and Erica Nocita as they put on a great show for the crowd with match races throughout the evening. Ilene's "Rosebud" '65 came out on top with consistent low 6 second passes with Pete and Erica not far behind. It was a great way to get ready for the opening race. Can't wait for Sunday!

more and more girl power coming into the ranks.
Don't give them too much help, Ilene. It might
come back to bite you!
