Rockdale, TX – New Breed Racing’s Alesi and Ayrton Gerthe competed at the Super Chevy Show as it made a stop at San Antonio Raceway, October 5-7, 2007. Team New Breed Racing’s Alesi Gerthe competed in the electronics bracket class, while Ayrton competed in the jr. dragster bracket class. “It really felt great to be back at San Antonio Raceway since I consider it my home track, and to see and compete with many of our racing friends,” said Alesi. “I adjusted to the regular bracket tree and went seven rounds over the two day period, and Saturday made it down to the final thirteen cars. It was different to not compete side by side like in quick rod. A few of the cars I raced were more than four seconds slower than me; I felt like I was back in the jr. 7.90 class chasing down a 12.90 car, and I was able to work on judging the top end at 160 mph,” commented Alesi. Ayrton Gerthe went several rounds in the jr. dragster class during the two day race, but he was really interested in the car show being held on the grounds that weekend. “This was probably one of my last races in a jr. since I’ll be sixteen tomorrow, and I’d been working real hard on getting my truck ready for the car show, so I had a busy weekend,” said Ayrton.
New Breed Racing plans to attend select bracket races this winter at San Antonio Raceway to prepare for next season. Alesi plans to compete in more national events, along with the Division 4 Pro-Am Series in Quick Rod, while Ayrton will make his debut in Quick Rod competing in the Division 4 Pro-Am Series and select national events.
