Annette
Summer’s reputation on the track is equaled by that of the products produced by
Garrett by Honeywell. Both are tough, reliable, and of championship caliber.
That being said, it’s only natural that this racer and this company join forces
for an assault on the Pro Modified record book in 2008 and beyond.
Summer,
based in Aiken, South Carolina, won two NMCA/NSCA Pro Street championships
before turning her attention to Pro Mod competition several seasons ago. Her Tim
McAmis-built 1957 Chevrolet was originally powered by a nitrous-injected
powerplant, but in 2002 Annette and husband Vernon made the switch to turbo
power and embarked on a journey of research and development that may now be
coming to its logical and successful conclusion.
There
have been records and big wins along the way, with both the “shoebox” Chevy and
a 1963 Corvette built by Vanishing Point Race Cars, but there are undoubtedly
many more to come, thanks to Garrett by Honeywell, a world leader in the
development of turbocharging technology.
