UNION, SOUTH CAROLINA — American Drag Racing League (ADRL) teams have nearly reached the half-way point in the 2010 season, with the ever-coveted “Speedtech Battle for the Belts” quickly approaching. With only five
scheduled races left before the ADRL World Finals (including the remainder of ADRL Dragpalooza VI rescheduled for July 23-24), Team Aruba currently sits in 13th place in the Extreme Pro Stock division with 495 points.
ADRL teams traveled to U.S. 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan for the ADRL Ford Drive One Summer Drags VI. “We were excited to sit in 3rd after qualifying,” says Trevor Eman, driver for Extreme Pro Stock (XPS) team, Team Aruba. “After such a long break from the track, we were especially determined to secure a top-qualifying spot.” Eman faced off against Mark Martino in the first round of eliminations, hammering down an exceptional 0.010 RT and reaching a top speed of 175.39mph to take the win. “We had a great light,” says the Aruba.com XPS driver, Trevor Eman. “It was a really close race; striving to achieve a perfect light can really make all the difference in a race.”
Continuing on to the second round of eliminations, Eman raced against Steve Boone, resulting in an tremendously close race leaving Boone the victor by just 0.008s. “We had a really good run, but so did Boone!” says Eman. Team Aruba will have several weeks until their next race, giving the team extra time for preparation. “We have a long break until our next race, the ADRL Independence Drags in Topeka. We’ll be working out any bugs and fine tuning our car until then.”
