"Go Pro or Go Home!" TST/GKA Industries hit the strip with an amazing camera.

Bart Rogowski of TST Industries was out at the track on a Thursday night to do a little filming using the BG Oil/PetroSpecs Chevelle as a test vehicle for an amazing little camera. Used often in skydiving, this camera has a variety of uses and the quality is second to none.

GoPro’s HD Motorsports HERO is the world’s highest performance 1080p HD on-board video and still photo camera. Professional quality 1080p, 960p, and 720p HD resolutions record at 30 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). The HD Motorsports HERO easily mounts to any helmet, motorcycle, ATV, car, plane, jet ski, boat, snowmobile or other vehicle. The camera’s quick-release mounting design makes it easy to re-position the camera around your vehicle for professional quality HD video from several angles.

Stay tuned in the weeks to come for more info on how to get one of these cameras at a discounted rate along with some unbelievable footage from a demo real put together by Bart and Kim. And you'll see why it's "Go Pro or Go Home!"


Kim, Erica and Bart in the lanes before the first
run of the night.

Bart set up the Go Pro for some driver's side
shots that came out awesome. Then it was a
click, snap and the Go Pro was turned around
for a shot of Erica from outside the car looking in,
all in about 10 seconds.

The Go Pro...ready for action.

Sisters.

The Go Pro is so small you can put it just about

anywhere. It even has a really cool helmet

mount which we'll be using in the near future.

It was great to see "Papa Joe" Furiani back at

the track after knee surgery. One of our favorite

people, here's Papa Joe giving Erica a few words of

encouragement.

Future Chevelle pilot Karen Corbin out checking

out the happenings and watching Erica put the

"SS" through it's paces. Karen will be doing

some test runs in the near future with team

Dalcorp.

Cup Challenge, June 25-27 at Barona Drag Strip.

Kimberly Nocita Makes 100th Jump! It was a "Whale" of a time!

In skydiving, your 100th jump is a big deal. Aside from the fact that you've made it safely to the ground 99 times before, it is a time for the local drop zone fraternity to celebrate the triple digit jump with certain "traditions" and ceremonies. The 100th jump must be something different, something that sets it apart from all of the previous jumps. The answer? Jump with an inflatable whale! And that's just what Kimberly did along with several close friends and fellow jumpers. Congratulations "Lil' Kiuh" on your 100th jump. Hope your next 100 are even more fun!

Left to right: Greg Mills, also making his 100th,
Crazy Larry...don't ask, Kim, "Sig Other" Bart
Rogowski of the "-ism" Demo Team/TST Industries,
and Mike Muscat. Oh yeah, and "The Whale."

"Nice whale, Kim!"

Ready to load....

A last hug from friend Paul Rodriguez and it

was time to go.

Crazy Larry ridin' on the back with Greg Mills

doing the steering.

Kim's ridin' til the end.

Bart seemed a little bored with the whole thing

and was just kickin' back on the way down.

Another tradition for those completing their

100th jump...they get pied! Greg thought

everyone was setting up for Kimberly. Wrong.

Check out Bart as he takes aim on Greg.

Direct Hit!

And yes, they got Kimberly also.

And to complete the day? A dip in the pool.

And a good day was had by all. Want to take a

John Pandeles Turning 63? Where's the Party? At a drag strip, where else?

When Ilene Pandeles told us that her husband John's birthday was on March 28th and that she was having a party for him, our first thought was, "How's that going to work? That's a Summit Race day and you run Summit!" But then she hit us with the obvious answer. "We're having the party at the track during the race." Hey, works for us! So on a beautiful Sunday at Irwindale's 1/8 mile drag strip we set up party central along the north fence of the track and raced and partied all morning and afternoon while going rounds in the Pro class of the Summit series. It was unfortunate for Ilene that a break out 1st round took her out of competition. But the good news was that she had more time to spend with all the people that came to support John on his special day. Erica and the BG Oil Chevelle had a little better luck going 3 rounds and running on her number two of the three rounds. All in all it was a great day of family, friends, fun, good food, and racing. Thanks for the invite, Ilene. And John, we hope you had a great birthday!

It was great having our crew member, Blake

Wigley, back after a few months away. Erica

was especially glad he was back. That's usually

her job! "You missed a spot, Blake."

Ilene Pandeles: Wife, mother, race car driver,

grandmother, and greeter.

John and Ilene's blown '65 Chevelle.

Blake with Dad and Grandpa.

Off to the driver's meeting.

We think Ilene had more pictures taken of her

than John did. Who's day is it anyway?

The Man. The Myth. The Legend. The Speed

Merchant.....John Pandeles.

Hey John, how many times have you put her in

the water?

Ilene, (r), during time trials.

Check it out...Ilene coming back on the return

road gets handed a sandwich for her drive back!

Now THAT'S hospitality and good friends!

Big Mike A. punchin' the run card.

Erica takin' care of "Chucky" in the left lane.

Nobody left this party hungry!

Phil Wigley and a photo op in a friend's blown

Vette. You look good in that car, Phil. But then

again, anyone would look good in that car.

Woman."

Gettin' ready to cut the cake...

The birthday boy...

1st round, 1st victim. The '63 Plymouth. Erica

ran a 6.780 on a 6.78 dial in.

Wanna' take a ride with Erica? Click here. She

puts the Vega on the trailer with a 6.771 on a

6.77 dial in.

3rd round.

Erica did it all right cutting a nearly perfect light,

.505 to Mark's .570. But the BG Oil Chevelle

decided to pick up .04's and ran a 6.72 on a 6.76

dial. Tough loss.

A day at the races wouldn't be complete without

Lil' Kass on hand to cheer for her Aunt Erica!

Two of the Three NL Trucking gang were on

hand to give Erica some moral support.

The perfect ending to a perfect day. Happy

Birthday, John. You're a lucky man!!!
