The ADRL.us Family Scenario – Never Forget, No Good Deed Goes Unnoticed

By Camp Stanley

Hagerstown, MD – These time worn words we often hear, The ADRL.us Family, is definitely more than just an analogy! It is a real, true, living, breathing factual entity that really does exist. And exist it does, not only in the heads and hearts of those of us who are believers, but in actual actions. This family thought process lives not only at the race tracks across this wide USA we reside in but also up and down the highways and byways we travel on! And we at Stanley & Weiss Racing are one of teams who can attest to the camaraderie that exists across the ADRL teams.

The one thing that does not enter into this equation is the class “I’m better than you” thought processes that have come to pass in other organizations! This part first came to light to me along I-10 in Louisiana where I sat with only ONE of our 2010 dilemmas! As I sat along the interstate highway on a Sunday morning awaiting a tire vendor my friend, Shawn Davis’ bride had found for me I had at least 4 teams across all classes pull up and back up the interstate to see if we needed any help. That My Friends, is what “family” does for “family”!

Schweigert Breaks Track Record, Rolls To Rd 1 PXM Victory In Qatar

Courtesy of ADRL

DOHA, QATAR – Terry Schweigert was so close so many times in 2010, finishing as a runner-up in four different Pro Extreme Motorcycle races in the American Drag Racing League (ADRL). After Friday, Schweigert likes this side of the winner’s circle much better.

In Round One of the Arabian Drag Racing League at Qatar Race Club, Schweigert was impressive, breaking into the win column by running a 4.14 in the finals to soak in the spoils of his first championship moment in either the ADRL or the Arabian Series. “This is just incredible. What an awesome experience,” said Schweigert, who finished second in points in the ADRL in 2010. “This is just unbelievable. It hasn’t really sunk in yet.

“We’re just sitting in our room with the trophy on our mantle. This trip is already worth it.” Seven races remain in the Arabian series that runs through February, but Schweigert is already beaming after just one week. The same can be said for Pro Extreme standout Joshua Hernandez, who won his debut race in Qatar as part of the Bahrain Racing team.

DOHA, QATAR – Todd Tutterow’s duties last year in the Arabian Drag Racing League only included tuning a car.
His first foray into driving in Qatar is quickly off to a fine start. The 2009 Pro Extreme World Champion in the American Drag Racing League (ADRL) is the leader after two rounds of qualifying on Thursday during Round 1 of the eight-race series in the Arabian Drag Racing League at Qatar Race Club.

In a loaded field, Tutterow took an early lead in Pro Extreme, going 3.74, which comes on the heels of going as quick as 3.68 in what was a productive test session. “I’m staying pretty busy, but things have been good,” said Tutterow, who is also tuning the car of PX driver Bader Ali. “We’ve been doing a lot of testing and hopefully it works out (well).” Due to weather and a crash in Pro Nitrous, only two qualifying sessions were completed on Thursday in all classes. Racers will get a third session on Friday before eliminations begin for Round 1.

Houde tunes Burbage to a $20,000 SCSN Pro Street victory

Courtesy of LHP Racing

Buzzards Bay, MA Tuning consultant Lonnie Houde with LHP Racing had one of his best weekends at the race track this past weekend as he helped get Rod Burbage, owner of Spec Rite Torque Converters, secure the biggest win of his racing career.

This was the first year Burbage had been to the Street Car Super Nationals event since changing his whole engine combination 3 years ago and he wasn’t coming to have fun, he was dead set on winning. The 2-time West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association champ strung together four (4) 6-teen passes during qualifying with the best being a 6.15 placing him 6th in the 32 car qualified ladder.

During the first round of eliminations on Sunday, Houde and Burbage set a new personal low ET for their weekend with a 6.13 round win over Garrett Richards. After the first round of all “heads up” classes it was decided to switch the entire event to 1/8th-mile due to strong wind gusts and cold temperatures which put up safety concerns for the track and event officials.

Lonnie Houde has experience of tuning screw blown engines on the 1/8th-mile after working for many ADRL Pro Extreme teams, but it would be a new game for Burbage who only has ran 1/4-mile events. Rod knew he had to be on his game on the tree and he stepped it up. In the second round he got a win over Shawn Jones with a soft 4.10.
