In his third time meeting Matt Smith in the first round this season, Arana cut a .048 light and coupled it with a 6.913-second pass at 194.30 mph to outrun Smith’s 6.911 at 193.96 mph.
Norwalk provides needed redemption for Arana
NORWALK, OH – After a disappointing weekend in Chicago, Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Adam Arana showed no waiver during 
qualifying for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, Saturday, at Summit Motorsports Park.
Still needing to lock himself into the field Saturday, the ProtectTheHarvest.com/MAVTV Buell rider went down the track in Q3 to his best time of the weekend, a 6.912 at 196.07 mph, landing him in the No. 9 spot.
“The end of qualifying Friday was really frustrating for me,” Arana said. “I was confident though that we would get a hold of it when we got back to the track Saturday. It just takes time to get the bike really running like it should be. Now that everyone in the class is running so well, you need to be perfect all the time in order to not only get in the field but on top.
Arana motivated for solid performance in Norwalk
NORWALK, OH – ProtectTheHarvest.com/MAVTV rider Adam Arana knows he has the potential to win NHRA Pro Stock 
Motorcycle races, and he is more motivated than ever to get a victory.
Last weekend in Chicago, Arana watched as his brother Hector Jr. beat his father Hector Sr. in the final round a day after Adam failed to qualify for the race due to a myriad of issues.
But Arana is pumped up about racing in the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals this weekend at Summit Motorsports Park.
“It was really disappointing that I didn’t qualify in Chicago,” Arana said. “We didn’t get the opportunity to test before Norwalk, but we got together as a team and have some good ideas based on my dad and my brother’s performance in Chicago. Hopefully, we can go from there and improve.”
The DNQ in Chicago was Arana’s first of his career after making 21 consecutive races, including all during his rookie season. Not even Hector Jr., the 2011 NHRA rookie of the year, could claim the same statistic.
