San Antonio Bracket and I-10 Series

June 6, 2005 - Rockdale, TX - New Breed Racing, the sister and brother team Alesi and Ayrton Gerthe, attended the San Antonio Bracket and I-10 Series held Saturday June 4, 2005. Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owners, Terry and Rhonda McMillen and the Amalie Oil InstiGator Team through the IHRA Adopt A Jr. Dragster Program, sponsor the IHRA Division 4 Junior Dragster team, from San Antonio Raceway. Sponsors for Alesi and Ayrton include Amalie Oil, TORCO Racing Fuels, Flatout Gaskets and NGK Spark Plugs. We had a great weekend and since we took a break over Memorial Day weekend, it was great to be back at the track racing and visiting our "track family". At an I-10 event, on the final time trial, all racers (electronics, no electronics and jr.'s) can pay to compete in the "run for the rubber", where you place a dial on your car and the racer closet to his dial wins a pair of drag racing slicks. Alesi was the jr. closest to her dial, a 7.9080 on a 7.90 dial, but another racer ran dead on his number with a zero. Alesi was breaking in her new motor/clutch over the weekend. Ayrton went out in the second round, while Alesi made it down to four cars before Mother Nature decided to produce rain and high winds around midnight. As the weekend progressed, Alesi settled in to her new set up and began to find her spot on the tree. In the I-10 Series, a race series between San Antonio Raceway and Lone Star Raceway, Alesi is currently fifth and Ayrton is eighth overall, in the Jr. Dragster points standings. Four races remain in the series, with the top racer in all classes (electronics, no electronics and jr.’s) in the series winning a new trailer. Currently Alesi has 171 points, Ayrton has 140 points and the overall leader has 202 points, so if we continue to do well we could bring home a new trailer! Alesi and Ayrton would like to thank Hoosier Thunder Motorsports Team owners Terry and Rhonda McMillen and the InstiGator Team, Amalie Oil, TORCO Racing Fuels, Flatout Gaskets, and NGK Spark Plugs for being the best sponsors in the racing industry. Also, thanks to the IHRA, Sherrie Barbour, and Drag Review for your support of jr. dragster racing.
