Super Chevy Show Anais Foti
We found Anais Foti waiting at the barrier to snap a picture of her dad leaving the line. Before you get any ideas, remember that her dad, Tony, drives the LAPD Racing car and is known to be armed.

Super Chevy Show 1965 Buick
Tim Lee of Rialto techs in his slick '65 Buick. One cool thing about this car is it's actually powered by a Buick mill, but in the form of a turbocharged V-6 from a Grand National. The car normally runs mid 10s, but for bracket racing, Tim dialed in at a conservative 11.20. The show may be called Super Chevy, but you can run any car that has an engine made by GM.

Sometimes you can have a great run and still lose. Michael Siaz of Phelan, Calif., ran a 10.429 at 129.32 against a dial-in of 10.42, but still went home. Bracket racing is often won or lost by hundredths of a second.

Super Chevy Show Big Block Engine
Jeremy Hanger of Hangman Racing in Fullerton checks the valvetrain on his big-block '53 Studebaker. Jeremy says he does this ritual after every run and it makes the difference between winning and losing. Jeremy went on to run a 6.568/217.39, but it wasn't enough to beat the guys from Canada with their fastest run of the day, a 6.336/225.56.

Super Chevy Show 1972 Chevy Nova
