Salemi Ready to Redeem Herself at This Weekend’s Shakedown at the Summit.

Fresh off a final round finish at last weekend’s PDRA Drag Wars at GALOT Motorsports Park, Melanie Salemi is ready to race her “Purple Reign” 68 Firebird in quarter mile trim for the upcoming Shakedown at The Summit this weekend. “My team has worked around the clock to be able to make it possible to compete in both eighth and quarter mile trim this month, I have to give all the praise to them especially Mike Stawicki and Jim and Jon Salemi, they go above and beyond to do whatever it takes and that just makes my job that much easier in the car.

This will mark 3 races in a row for us so while tending to business and the race car, it has made for quite a few late nights in the shop.” Explained Melanie.

Salemi was last year’s runner up in Outlaw Pro Mod at The Shakedown at The Summit and really feels like she needs to redeem herself this weekend. “Last year we had a real consistent car the entire event and just missed it on the last run, I know that Jon & Jim are going to be making every effort to run big numbers this year and I’m just looking forward to getting to race the quarter mile again.

I Love everything about this race and I always look forward to seeing what the Bader family has in store for us each year” Said Melanie.
