Fort Dodge, IA — DragIllustrated.com, the online presence for Drag Illustrated magazine, published by ImagePro Multimedia, today released its first edition of American Drag Racing League (ADRL) Power Rankings.
Similar to the week-to-week team rankings associated with major stick-and-ball sports, DragIllustrated.com’s Power Rankings are being released shortly after the completion of each NHRA and ADRL national event throughout the 2011 season.
“We’ve already established DragIllustrated.com Power Rankings for all five NHRA pro classes after their first two events and it feels good to get the ADRL version out there, too,” said Wes Buck, cofounder and executive editor of Drag Illustrated magazine and DragIllustrated.com. “We want to stimulate some spirited conversation and debate through the Power Rankings and welcome anyone to weigh in online with feedback on whether we got it right or wrong in their eyes.”
The initial DragIllustrated.com Power Rankings for the ADRL’s five pro classes are based on results from last weekend’s season-opening ADRL CarSafe Dragpalooza VII presented by LenMar Motorsports at Baytown, Texas.
“Right now it’s relatively easy to establish the Power Rankings based roughly on where each ADRL driver finished in the first race, but as we’ve already experienced with the NHRA Power Rankings, it gets more difficult and subjective from here on out,” Buck continued. “But we feel up to the task and look forward to the DragIllustrated.com Power Rankings becoming a must-see item after each NHRA and ADRL event for fans, teams, and media members alike.”
