October 8 - 10, 2004 - IHRA Drag Review
Gerthe Rolls - Winner Alesi Gerthe from Rockdale, Texas and runner-up Michael Zampese from San Antonio, Texas each had a fantastic season so it was no surprise when they made it to the finals on Sunday. Gerthe lit the tree with a .058 and ran 8.31 on her 8.27 dial. She caught the automatic win when Zampese went red with a -.012. Gerthe was racing with Lone Star and she is featured on the Porta-Tree Green Light Gang page. She thanks her family, friends and sponsors.
Saturday's Gamblers - Winner Zack Kagels from League City, Texas is the '04 Lone Star track champion. Kagels cut a .060 light and ran closer to his 8.05 dial with an 8.13 to Alesi Gerthe's 8.41 on an 8.30 dial. Gerthe's .052 light was quicker, but her slower time gave the win to Kagels. Dad, Rusty Kagels said, "We wish to thank the Gerthe's and all our racing friends for their help all season and our sponsors, Fort Bend Services, Godwin Pumps, Tidal Tank, Atlas Chemical, and Joe Swinbank. We also want to thank IHRA for having such a great junior program." Gerthe is featured on the Porta-Tree Green Light Gang page. She thanks her family, friends and sponsors.
