Fontana, Calif. – When 28-year old, second generation drag racer Will Martin straps into his low 7-second, 190 mile per hour Jam-Air Motorsports MULTISTACK / PROLONG Blown Alcohol Funny Car this weekend at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, Calif., he will seek to extend an impressive eight-consecutive round winning streak during the NHRA Heritage Series second event of the 2010 season.
The reigning NHRA Heritage Series 7.0 Pro Series Champion enters this event coming off of an impressive wire-to-wire victory, where he qualified number one and captured the event title at the 52nd running of the NHRA March Meet, contested last month in Bakersfield, Calif. A victory at the 2009 season ending NHRA Hot Rod Reunion has given the driver from San Dimas, Calif. a streak he believes is possible to extend.
“Our car is running exceptionally well right now,” noted Martin whose father John is a former NHRA Fuel Funny Car Champion in his own right. “Geoff Monise, Jeff Pepin, Scott Franklin, Dan Holloway, our crew chief Howard Mazie and Dad have this car set on “KILL”. After we qualified number one and took the win at the historic March Meet, we felt like we were on to something special. We’d love to end up this weekend with four round wins and another trophy.”
Martin’s win in Bakersfield last month was also due to help provided by one of his racing team mates. NHRA A/Fuel Dragster driver Johnny Ahten, who along with Martin is a client of CRX Media, provided a set of Goodyear tires to the MULTISTACK / Prolong Super Lubricants sponsored team after a problem with their current tires appeared after the first qualifying effort. The results were good enough for Martin as he has a new set of Goodyear Tires ready for this weekend’s home-track race.
“I’m excited to race at home in front of my friends and family this weekend in Fontana. We’re going to kick off the race in style by setting up our Jam-Air Motorsports MULTISTACK / PROLONG Alcohol Funny Car at The Lamplighter Inn in San Bernardino, on Thursday April 22nd between 6:30-8:30pm. We would like all our friends, family and fans come and support our team this weekend at Fontana. It’s a great track which we’ve never raced at, but I think our guys will fine-tune this wicked running flopper to another NHRA Heritage Series 7.0 event title.”
