Division 4 Pro-Am San Antonio Raceway, March 10-12, 2006

March 13, 2006 - Rockdale, TX – Alesi and Ayrton Gerthe, the sister and brother team New Breed Racing, attended the first two of six races of the Division 4 Mr. Gasket Pro-Am Tour’s Master’s Class this past weekend at San Antonio Raceway. Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owners, Terry and Rhonda McMillen through the IHRA Adopt A Jr. Dragster Program, sponsor the IHRA Division 4 Junior Dragster team, from San Antonio Raceway, along with Amalie Oil, TORCO Racing Fuels, Flatout Gaskets and NGK Spark Plugs. It was great to kick off this race tour at our home track, San Antonio Raceway. We had a great weekend of racing; Alesi and Ayrton were very focused. The cars ran good, except for a “stumble fairy” on Alesi’s car. Her car stumbled both days on the starting line and we’re trying to find the problem. On Saturday, Alesi and Ayrton made it down to six cars. On Sunday, Ayrton cut a .499 red in the first round and Alesi went a couple rounds before the “stumble fairy” reared its head and the car fell off. First round, Alesi paired up with friend Michael Zampese and both dialed 7.90. With almost identical reaction times, Alesi won on a double break out 7.899 to Michael’s 7.898. Duane Gerthe said, “That first round race was awesome on Sunday and the kids did great all weekend. We will find the problem with Alesi’s car before the next divisional at Pine Valley in a few weeks.” Alesi and Ayrton would like to thank Hoosier Thunder Motorsports Team owners Terry and Rhonda McMillen and their 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.
