Looming Thunderstorms Won’t Stop the NAPA Thunder Nationals

UNION, SOUTH CAROLINA — In spite of an unusually rainy season that continues to disrupt their drag racing schedule, Team Aruba will travel to U.S. 131 Motorsports Park for the Mountain Motor Pro Stock Association (MMPSA) NAPA Thunder Nationals in Martin, Michigan. “We’re just hoping for a break in the rainy weather,” says team driver, Trevor Eman.

Among many others, Team Aruba has experienced mild frustration with this season’s frequent showers, enduring a race cancellation at the 2010 ADRL Dragpalooza VI in addition to hours of rain delays at the ADRL Georgia Drags VI. “We’ve been counting down the days to our next race,” Trevor comments. “We just hope that another race doesn’t get rescheduled.”

While it may be cloudy outside, a clearer-minded Trevor Eman will be testing the Team Aruba car at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park before Friday’s qualifying rounds. “I just finished my spring semester finals on Tuesday,” the college student mentions, “so this weekend I’ll have far less stress from school, and I’ll be able to focus even more on my driving.” Team Aruba is especially determined to leave a great impression at the Martin track. “We haven’t had any major achievements yet at the U.S. 131 track, so it’s about time! We just have to continue working hard, and hope for the best on race day.”
