October 4, 2006 - Rockdale, TX - New Breed Racing, Alesi and Ayrton Gerthe, attended the Super Chevy Show at San Antonio Raceway, September 29 – October 1. Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owners Terry and Rhonda McMillen, through the IHRA Adopt A Jr. Dragster program, sponsor the Division 4 Dragster Team from San Antonio Raceway, along with TORCO Race Fuels, Amalie Oil, Flatout Gaskets, and NGK Spark Plugs.
"All around it was a great weekend for us, awesome weather conditions, actually a little on the warm side, great drag racing, and spending time with friends," said Lisa Gerthe.
The 2006 Super Chevy Show returned to one of America’s top drag racing facilities, San Antonio Raceway with jets, nitro coupes, bracket racing, classy show cars and an invitation only 16 car jr. dragster field.
"Ayrton went to the quarter finals on Saturday, Alesi went to the semi-finals on Sunday, and Alesi's 'Orange Crush', her customized '91 Chevy Truck, won the two wheel drive modified truck category on Sunday," continued Lisa. "The cars and our driver's were on their game, and the jr. dragsters that race at San Antonio Raceway are very stiff competition. Although Alesi entered her truck in the car show, she wasn't very comfortable with leaving it unattended and unlocked for the judges, so she was surprised when they announced her name at the awards ceremony. She had planned to sit at the truck and make it available to the judges when she went out, but she continued to go rounds, going out in the semi's just before the awards ceremony on Sunday," concluded Lisa.
Alesi & Ayrton would like to thank Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owners Terry and Rhonda McMillen, Amalie Oil, TORCO Racing Fuels, Flatout Gaskets, and NGK Spark Plugs for being the best sponsors in the racing industry.
