Las Vegas, NV. – Going broke in Vegas usually means only one thing.  The tables got the best of you, or the one armed bandit kept everything it was given. At the Division 7 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Cody Perkins may not have lost money at the casinos, but the 801 Racing sponsored Top Alcohol Dragster did break a few parts.

“I think we broke one of everything,” said Perkins. “We broke all kinds of parts like heads, belts and even our windshield.”

Cody was able to get his 801 Racing dragster into the show in the number six slot with a 5.402. Cold track conditions were not kind to the sun and heat loving team. In the first round against Megan McKernan, Perkins was first off the line but the fun ended there.

“I hate cold tracks,” added Perkins. “We know how to run in the heat, but when we have cool conditions like this, it is really hard for us to get down the track. I am considering bringing in someone next year to do a sun dance.”

Whereas Gambling and losing money go hand in hand, cold racetracks and breaking parts also seem to be related. Cody Perkins and his 801 Racing Team have put things back together and are now heading to the season finale in Pomona. There they will be betting on the warm weather to keep them from going completely broke.
