BRAINERD, MN – It has been said travel broadens the mind. Cody Perkins and his 801 Racing Top Alcohol Dragster want to do more than just feed their intellect, they want to have their minds “blown.” This is why the team is traveling to the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway. The venue has a reputation as being a place that’s a little on the wild side.

“I have always heard that it was a fun race,” said Perkins. “I might head over to the Zoo and see what it’s all about, but we are here to race. The field at Brainerd is full of heavy hitters. It is going to be tough, and we want to step up and bring our best effort.”  To do this, Perkins is looking to the past.

“We are looking to build off the string of 5.30’s we ran off, said Perkins. “We have a consistent car, now all we have to do is keep it up. With a little luck, we will be there on Sunday making some noise.”

801 Racing Products is also looking to make some noise. Recently, they started giving away tickets to races on their Facebook page.( https://www.facebook.com/801Racing )The Utah based solid fuel booster manufacturer is now going to be giving way tickets to national events, t-shirts, as well as other goodies. It’s a way of giving back to those who have supported Cody Perkins and 801 Racing.

“Brainerd might be a one-time thing, or it might just be our favorite race.” said Perkins.

In the land of a thousand lakes making a splash might be easy, but Cody Perkins and the 801 Racing Team intend to make it a trip to remember.
