March 13, 2007 - Rockdale, TX – New Breed Racing, Ayrton & Alesi Gerthe, kicked off their 2007 race season this past weekend at their home track, San Antonio Raceway, by participating in the IHRA Jr. Dragster Nationals. Ayrton Gerthe, winner of the 2004 San Antonio Jr. Nationals 12-13 year old class, made it to the quarter finals and the final 5 cars in the 7.90 Index on Saturday. Alesi Gerthe qualified in the sixth spot in the Southwest 330’ Outlaw dragster of Brand X Racing Engines, and went to the finals in Quick 32 placing second on Saturday. “We had a great time and as a team did an excellent job,” said Lisa Gerthe. “As expected, Todd and Judy had a full schedule for the weekend and we stayed busy all day Saturday, but the weather took a turn on Sunday, the event was cancelled after several rain delays and will be rescheduled.”
The team will now turn their focus to the upcoming divisional and national and hope the weather cooperates this week so they can get in some much needed testing.
