Diedrich Make ADRL Debut at LenMar World Finals

Firebaugh, Ca – Jay Diedrich and crew will be bringing their 1957 Chevy from California down to Texas to compete in the quickest and fastest of the American Drag Racing League’s classes, Pro Extreme. Diedrich is an avid racer on the west coast within many 1/4-mile associations but this will mark the first time he will compete on the 1/8-mile level and possibly, one of his biggest events he’s attended yet.

Alongside Diedrich will be Lonnie Houde with LHP Racing calling the shots on the tune-up. Houde is no stranger within the PX class as he has worked on, tuned and set up complete fuel systems for many racers who compete. Houde has been tuning for Diedrich all season and will admit it is a challenge getting the 2,800 pound car down the race track. The two of them go into Ennis looking for an experience and getting exposure as more ADRL events are planned for the 2011 season.

The Firebaugh Express Racing team will leave on Tuesday to start the trek to the “World Finals” in Ennis. They are well aware that it is unlikely to qualify for the 16-car PX field but are optimistic and excited to race with the ADRL and get a jump start on the 2011 season in which Diedrich plans on running more events with the ADRL.
