New Breed Racing’s Alesi Gerthe attended the first set of races for the IHRA Pro-Am Tour at Tulsa Raceway Park this past weekend, April 17-19, 2009. “The weather forecast did not look very promising for the event, and sure enough we ended up running both days of racing on Sunday after storms moved into the area and cancelled Saturday’s racing,” said Lisa Gerthe. “In Day One action, Alesi went out in round two and in Day Two action she bowed out in round three with nine cars remaining. Despite the drastic weather changes over the weekend, the car was amazingly consistent, and we think we have found a reason for some of the inconsistencies Alesi has experienced in the past. As you can see from the attached photo by Robert Grice, Alesi’s dragster is carrying both front wheels off the line, so we think it is affecting her consistency. Thanks to Robert’s excellent photo skills, we will be able to address this issue.”
