Bambi Jilek - news article in Renton Reporter

Bambi is addicted to speed on wheels

Bambi Jilek gets ready for a qualifying race in her 1982 Mazda RX-7 in a recent International Race Drivers Club (IRDC) event at Pacific Raceways in Kent.

"The distant revving of engines comes first, then roaring and popping as the cars zoom down the paved track on a recent Sunday at Pacific Raceways, buzzing like a drone of angry bees. In the midst of this horde is No. 48, a 1982 bright blue Mazda RX-7 driven by Bambi Jilek of Renton."
