Recent success in Epping could bring Arana his first win

EPPING, NH – After racing to his first ever NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series final round last year in Epping, Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Adam Arana is ready to do it again but with different results this weekend during the Auto-Plus NHRA New England Nationals, June 19-22, at New England Dragway.

With some recent changes since the last time the ProtectTheHarvest.com/MAVTV Buell was on the track, the youngest Arana is more than ready to get back on his bike.

“I expect to run well this weekend for a couple of reasons,” Arana said. “We replaced the crank in my bike after Englishtown, so it should be running stronger now. Just to make sure, we should be putting it on the dyno before we leave. Hopefully, we will get some good numbers out of it then.

“Also, I went to my first and only final in Epping. I’m banking on some more good luck and hopefully another trip to the final round this weekend. It’s a nice track and it has been good to me so far.”

With hopes of another good finish in Epping, Arana has confidence in himself and the route that the performance of his bike is going in this year. While there have been a few struggles, Arana thinks that the best is yet to come for him and this could be the weekend when it happens.

“I think we’ve finally gotten through everything we were experiencing this season,” Arana said. “We’ve made changes and have been working on the bikes as much as possible trying to work our way back to the top. After the last work we did, I think the next few races we should be racing better than we have all year.”

With hopes of making it to the final again this year, Arana will look for a successful weekend beginning with qualifying sessions at 4:15 and 6:45 p.m., Friday, and 12:15 and 2:45 p.m., Saturday. Eliminations will start at noon, Sunday, with both qualifying and elimination action broadcast on ESPN2.
