MANA — Taylor Montemayor won big at the NAPA Ladies Night drag races on Saturday, Aug. 12. Driving her 1986 Chevy S-10, Taylor eliminated a field of over 25 lady racers in bracket racing competition to take first place.
In her final round, going against Alma Koetje, she put down a 10.219 quarter-mile run at 124.78 miles per hour with an impressive 0.001 reaction time. Montemayor also took second place in the Super Pro class.
Todd Burns of NAPA Auto Parts was at the drag races to support NAPA’s title race, Ladies Night. He came with a truck load of NAPA branded caps, footballs, and basketballs that he gave out to the kids and others in attendance.
He also had the “Wally” won by Ron Capps, NHRA Funny Car Champ, with him on display.
“It was an amazing night and I’m honored to sponsor the Ladies Night race,” Burns said. “Congrats to all the ladies who came out to race and hopefully everyone had a fun time. Congratulations to Taylor on the victory!”
