March 20, 2007 - Rockdale, TX – New Breed Racing, Ayrton & Alesi Gerthe, attended the first stop of the 2007 Division 4 Pro-Am tour at San Antonio Raceway.
Ayrton competed in the Jr. Dragster Master’s Class, while Alesi competed in the Quick Rod Class.
“The weekend didn’t end up as we’d planned, with Ayrton going out both days in the first round and we continually fought with Alesi’s car all weekend,” said Lisa Gerthe. “People have been telling us the big cars are much easier to tune and run than the jr.’s, but it didn’t appear to be the case for us this past weekend. I do have to say, the outpouring of help in our pits and the phone calls was very humbling; I lost count of how many folks came over, friends and strangers, to lend a hand and it was noticed by many. They all made a tough situation better by knowing we truly do spend our time with a great group of people.”
The team will spend this afternoon, along with Terry McMillen’s InstiGator Funny Car team, at the Napa Distribution Center in San Antonio, Texas displaying the race cars.
“We appreciate the opportunity Steve Anderson and Napa has given us, along with Terry McMillen, to join them in the pre-race events this week, gearing up for the IHRA Amalie Oil Texas Nationals presented by NAPA Auto Parts. We are proud to be a part of the display and look forward to spending time with everyone. The team is also looking forward to extending a ‘big Texas welcome’ to our other partners attending; we are supported by the best in the racing industry,” concluded Gerthe.
