Goforth Racing Post Race Wrap Up

Holdenville OK – Goforth Racing has had a couple busy weeks of racing, competing in both MMPSA at MIR, and going 
directly to the ADRL event in Virginia. The MMPSA event didn’t turn out the way we hoped, with Cary qualifying in the #5 Spot and Dean in the #7 position. “We really wanted to do well at this event to move up in the points, sometimes its just not our weekend” Goforth said.
Having already committed to running two races in the same area it made sense for us to travel straight from the MIR MMPSA event to Virginia Motorsports Park for the ADRL event. It makes for a long time away from home, but makes sense financially to stay in the area. The team wanted to have a good showing at ADRL and extend Cary’s points lead.

Norwalk, OH– Norwalk, Ohio’s Summit Raceway Park’s Door Wars held during their Friday Night Chaos Series is quickly becoming a haven for Mid-West and North East Outlaw Pro Modifieds. The series is continuing to grow by 
leaps and bounds but, what has been lacking is the sub four second passes that Outlaw fans have become used to on the national scene; that was until now.
Todd Robertson of Harrison Twp, Michigan took his supercharged alky burning Cobalt to the first three second pass in Door Wars history with a 3.96 elapsed time, giving hardcore Outlaw fans just what they have been looking for.
“It’s been about three years since talk of the first three started at a Door Wars race,” said Team Owner/driver Todd, Robertson. “There have been a lot of good cars here trying to be the first and even some heavy hitters from the national circuits so, to be the first one in the threes at a Door Wars event is special to us. I can’t thank my crew and my sponsors enough for everything they do for this team,” added Robertson.

UNION, SC — “Virginia Motorsports Park?Hello from Aruba!” A nice and sunny weekend at Virginia Motorsports Park (VMP) proved to be a beautiful racing weekend. Team Aruba’s driver, Trevor Eman happily said, “It feels like we 
are racing in Aruba!”
As always, Team Aruba’s pit area is a reflection of the island Aruba and the Aruban People. “We’re having fun, but the weekend is not over yet. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we have to do well to be in the show with the other 19 Mountain Motor Pro Stock teams,” says Eman, a full-time college student and the youngest Mountain Motor Pro Stock driver. “Let’s go racing…And a warm ‘Hello’ from Aruba!”
VMP hosted nice weather and even nicer people. These conditions must have really worked, because Trevor did a first qualifying run of 4.10 seconds as the third pair out. “We came pretty close to beating our career-best elapsed time,” says Trevor, who was only a hundredth and a half seconds off of his best ET. “We were at the 60-foot mark in 0.984 seconds; not a bad first run.”

CHARLOTTE, NC – Going into the third annual ADRL Speedtech U.S. Drags at Virginia Motorsports Park, Charles Carpenter was looking for a clean sweep of the event, aiming to win Best 
Appearing Car, Best Appearing Crew, and take home the Pro Nitrous Minuteman trophy all in one weekend.
After it was announced that Carpenter’s fresh paint and airbrushing, applied by Chandler Robbins and East Coast Refinishing, had garnered him the Olson Paint & Body Best Appearing Car award, the team set its sights on the other task at hand: taking the momentum of two consecutive ADRL Pro Nitrous final round appearances and turning it into a win at VMP.
Capping Friday’s qualifying with a 3.946 at 188.99 MPH, his quickest of three full passes, Carpenter was qualified in the number eight position heading into Saturday’s final qualifying attempt.

PETERSBURG, VA — This weekend’s American Drag Racing League (ADRL) Speedtech U.S. Drags III marked only the second ADRL race of KH Al-Thani’s career, but in a Pro Extreme class loaded with top talent on a record-breaking
weekend, it was the Qatar native who proved to be the quickest learner.

Al-Thani’s Al-Anabi Racing teammate Shannon Jenkins also won in Pro Nitrous, Gary White of Titan Motorsports prevailed in the Extreme 10.5 final, Brian Gahm successfully defended his 2009 Extreme Pro Stock event title and Ashley Owens scored his second consecutive Pro Extreme Motorcycle win.
After qualifying second, Al-Thani knocked off veteran Brian Daniels, rookie Mick Snyder, and former two-time class champion Jason Scruggs to reach Hernandez, the winningest driver in Pro Extreme, in the final round.
