SAINT LOUIS, MO (March 23, 2010) — After enduring a long day of qualifying at Baytown’s Houston Raceway Park, Trevor Eman and the Team Aruba crew achieved a career-best qualifying effort with an elapsed time (ET) of 4.090 at 177.30mph in the fourth qualifying round at the 2010 American Drag Racing League (ADRL) Universal Technical Institute Dragpalooza VI, presented by Safety-Kleen. “We were making better and faster runs every time we made it to the starting line,” commented Eman, on the team’s performance. Team Aruba’s efforts placed the team in the #5 spot in the Extreme Pro Stock (XPS) category.
Fans excitedly awaited the qualifying rounds of the 2010 ADRL Dragpalooza VI, only to miss out on the final elimination rounds as a discouraging storm front moved across Baytown, Texas. With impending rain and strong winds quickly approaching, a final decision to reschedule the remaining qualifying and eliminations rounds was made for late July.
Eman credits Team Aruba’s crew for their successful qualifiers. “Carl Baker, our crew chief, was making good calls and Tommy had the clutch completely under control. Ken had his hands on all the other 'in-between round' maintenance and Bobby was taking good care of everybody that came by our www.Aruba.com 'free information booth' and the Autism Speaks donation box.” After Friday’s events, Team Aruba hosted a cook-out to celebrate Aruba’s National Anthem and Flag Day, featuring a variety of tasty foods in Texas-sized portions. “It isn’t often that the XPS teams get to spend time together at races, because races are usually so hectic,” Trevor mentions. “We were happy that a lot of ADRL officials and teams were able to take some time off and stop by.”
For now, fans will have to wait until July 23rd to watch the remaining qualifying and event elimination rounds.
