OK in most sports men and women compete separately, segregated. But in motor sports that's not the case, two cars, two drivers face off and may the best person win. But there is more to racing than just competing. This is Brenda in her Studebaker. She's a trophy winner with her Model-T.
Track-side with drag racers
At a smaller racetrack like Thunder Mountain Raceways you are not just a spectator, you can be as much part of the action as you want. Wandering around the parking-lot while the cars and drivers go through the check list...it all is a part of drag racing and the motor sport experience.

1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Jet Streak Road Test
Take a test drive with me in a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk with the Jet Streak engine option that was contemplated, but never offered by the factory.
I was reluctant to make this because at the time I was riding on 22 year old radial tires that made a severe thump the faster I went. A month later I replaced the tires. When I took off the front passenger side tire, I noticed a split of about 18", right down the tread.

Avanti Introduction
The 1963 Avanti was the last ditch effort of Sherwood Egbert (his real name) to rescue the faltering Studebaker. Once again, the company turned to its ace in the hole, stylist Raymond Loewy, to conceive a car that would miraculously turn things around. He rented a house in Palm Springs and there with three young designers and with missionary zeal embarked on creating something new and revolutionary. The result -- the Avanti, got attention but didn't save the company. Studebaker was gone three years later.
