What a great weekend at the ADRL race at Houston Raceway Park! Oh and... This race went down as the "Most Spectated" drag race in all drag racing history! At 12:00 on Saturday, there were 50,000 people there! At 7:00 that night, they had to stop letting people in the gates! Total spectators Saturday was over 70,000 people! It was HUUUUUGE! The entire ADRL organization was overly impressing, a first class group. There was one car that crashed and these guys are such a tight group, within ONE HOUR of the crash, the teams and his very own competitors put together $10,000 towards a new car! There were nitrous PRO MODS, XTREME PRO MODS (Blower cars), a 10.5 class (Thats ANYTHING goes as long as you run a 10.5 WIDE tire), Pro Stock Motorcycles, Pro Stock cars, and even junior dragsters!
The Dr. Performance race truck attracted an unreal amount of attention as well as the dragster. We only ran the truck though. It is surely enough running great, our only problem was that when I crashed it back in August, it blew out the shocks, the suspension was different since the truck got a new front half, therefor we had a little trouble hooking up. We only made a total of 4 passes and only 2 of those made it to the finish line under power because we kept blowing off the tires. No big deal at all though, we will have it set up for the NHRDA race at the TEXAS MOTORPLEX and be ready to run! The ADRL only runs 1/8th mile and our best ET was a 5.50 which didnt hook up until the 60' mark, as you know, the 60' is the most important. When I let off the trans brake it shook the tires, peddled thru it, started banging gears, and went 132 MPH to the 1/8th! Trucks super mean and cant WAIT for competition! Sounds like everyone had a great weekend in Arizona and a Huge congrats goes out to the Banks team from all of here at Dr. Performance! :clap:
