Since our last race in Baton Rouge, New Breed Racing has been busy with updating our golf cart and Alesi’s dragster, and Ayrton medaled at the UIL Academic meet. “We have had many conversations and thoughts about updating our pit vehicle and with a few weeks before our next race, we decided to tackle it,” said Duane. “And Alesi’s dragster has needed some body and paint repair, so we got that accomplished as well.”
Ayrton helped Rockdale High School achieve something that has eluded the school for over two decades, a first place finish in district UIL competition. He competed on the science team at the District 24-3A UIL Academic meet held recently at Blinn College and received two medals. The science team finished 4th, with Ayrton placing sixth overall and he was the top scorer in physics, which enables him to compete at the regional meet later this month. The next scheduled race for the team is the IHRA Divisional at Tulsa Raceway Park, April 17-19, 2009.
