MADISON, IL – Alex Hossler’s first American Drag Racing League (ADRL) win 10 months ago ended with the Pro 
Extreme driver crossing the finish line with his car on fire in one of more memorable ADRL finishes. In Hossler’s eyes, however, the Canton, IL native topped himself on Saturday during the Hardee’s Gateway Drags III at Gateway International Raceway (GIR). With more than 100 friends, family and co-workers looking on, Hossler was never better and it paid off with his second career ADRL PX win. His ’71 Camaro went a Saturday-best 3.69 at 203 miles per hour, beating Gaylen Smith in an entertaining final before a massive overflow crowd at GIR.
“(The 3.69) put quite the exclamation point on the coolest win I’ve ever had,” Hossler said. “I don’t know how I could have made it any better. “There is no race I would rather win. This is definitely the highlight of my ADRL career. This has been great, to share this experience with all the people I care about.”

MADISON, IL — The day started well enough for Pro Extreme driver KH Al-Thani. It ended even better. With his full Al-Anabi Racing crew on hand, Al-Thani put on a thrilling show for them and the capacity crowd at Gateway 
International Raceway (GIR), going five impressive rounds to win the previously postponed American Drag Racing League (ADRL) Hardee’s Independence Drags IV on Friday in Pro Extreme.
In the finals against Frankie Taylor, Al-Thani went an event-best 3.66 at 208 miles per hour to claim the win. “The real excitement was that we were able to invite our entire team down here,” Al-Thani said. “I had to do my best to show them what we do. “The more pressure there is, the better I get. I know how to cope with pressure.” Al-Thani has done it well in his short ADRL racing career, picking up his second win in just five ADRL races.
He wasn’t the only ADRL driver who reached significant milestones on Friday at the completion of the event that was postponed due to rain in early July. The eliminations made for a festive Friday at GIR, which should carry over to a memorable completion of the Hardee’s Gateway Drags III on Saturday.

The Orange Camaro Pro Mod “Car Magnet” Unscathed Outside, Hurt Inside
By Camp Stanley / Photos By Axle Weiss
Hagerstown, MD – The second trip to Houston in 2010 for an ADRL race was most definitely a lousy experience! It was bound to happen to us sooner or later, the odds were in fate’s favor. The July journey to Texas started off just fine
but started to go wrong at the outset of the second day’s journey. While cruising along the highway of life in a two lane construction zone I hit a piece of steel in the middle of the road when there was no place to go and no way to avoid it. Luckily I didn’t have a blowout! At that time we didn’t! But I did down the road an hour or so. ON THE TRAILER! So out into the 105 degree heat I went and changed the tire.!
And then there was the racing itself. We had not yet qualified for the first Houston race and with everyone only getting one shot at it we failed to make it in! There went our qualifying streak we were so proud of! But we also had our car magnet facts reinforced yet again when Jason Scruggs ended up bowling for cones out of the right lane. And that was a close one yet again! We were all glad it was a matter of two experienced drivers paying attention or it could have been ugly! The orange car magnet was in the house, AGAIN!
