2015 BDRHoF Gala Awards Dinner ‘Night Of Stars’ Shines Even Brighter
More VIP guests will be celebrating the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame (BDRHoF) pioneers being inducted at the Gala Awards Dinner held at the Savill Court Hotel, Windsor Great Park, November 21st 2015. Racers and fans are being joined by senior people in motorsport management, the business world and the media at European drag racing’s most prestigious social occasion.
Traci Hrudka is Chair of the Quarter Mile Foundation and heads their Project 1320 programme, which is recording the history of North American drag racing and the performance parts aftermarket on film. Using interviews of those who were there, plus footage taken back in the day, it will be introduced as a network televised documentary.She is the daughter and niece of Tom and Joe Hrudka, founders of Mr Gasket and at one time, along with several other hats she managed all the Group’s customer service and racing contracts. For her work she was presented with the coveted Performance Warehouse Person of the year award at the 1993 SEMA induction banquet. Traci is a workaholic in her task and the BDRHoF feels honoured that she is flying in from Cleveland, Ohio to be one of its VIP guests. As the Allard Chrysler Action Group’s American Patron, she has been building awareness with many American suppliers who have been vital partners during the dragster’s restoration. It is hoped to carry out some filming during her trip that will form part of the Quarter Mile Foundation project and include interviews with some European racers and performance parts importers. Details are still being finalised but watch out for announcements about a possible additional special event at the Savill Court Hotel sponsored by US Automotive and Julie Braskett.
