Mike Dudleston

A teen-ager with a fast car may be like a lemming leaning over the edge, but Mike Dudleston survived those years and is moving even faster. After spending his first few years as a licensed driver trying to squeeze more speed out of street vehicles, Dudleston, a 20-year-old from El Toro, now finds his automotive thrills on the drag strip. In only his second season of racing in the National Hot Rod Assn., Dudleston won the Super Gas class of the NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle.
