Andrea Bisson

August 26 - Sunday's Summit Racing E.T. Racing Series event included the 2012 edition of Girls Gone Racing to benefit D.R.A.W. which saw Andrea Bisson defeat Kim Piston in their final round match. Other racing highlights included Matt Bunal making it two-in-a-row Street Money wins just in time before his return to college. Here's the shakedown of the racing action on Sunday.

Girls Gone Racing
While Kim Piston drove well all day and ran a decent pass in the final, it was all over at the start as Andrea Bisson's .538 to .679 reaction time advantage was simply too much for Kim to hold off. Andrea drove her '70 Pontiac Tempest to an off-the-throttle 11.662 at 102.98 mph (11.50 dial) once she drove around Kim's 17.173 run on her 17.10 dial. Rebecca Shaw was the lone semifinalist. We wish to thank all the lady competitors and Jane Bersani for helping make this annual event the success that it has become.
