Division 4 Pro-Am Tour - San Antonio Raceway March 10-12, 2006

March 10, 2006 - Rockdale, TX - New Breed Racing, the sister and brother team Alesi and Ayrton Gerthe, will attended the first two of six races of the Division 4 Mr. Gasket Pro-Am Tour this weekend at San Antonio Raceway. Hoosier Thunder Motorsports team owners, Terry and Rhonda McMillen through the IHRA Adopt A Jr. Dragster Program, sponsor the IHRA Division 4 Junior Dragster team, from San Antonio Raceway, along with Amalie Oil, TORCO Racing Fuels, Flatout Gaskets and NGK Spark Plugs. We are excited to be kicking off this season at our home track, San Antonio Raceway and we are equally excited to see all of our “racing family”. The team spent the off-season preparing a Cameron Dragster for Alesi’s anticipated move into Quick Rod. Duane Gerthe explained, “Our initial plans were to have Alesi ready to compete in the Quick Rod class this year at the divisionals and at the Nationals in San Antonio, but we were limited in our opportunities to make the necessary passes toward her license due mainly to weather conditions and scheduling. We want to take it at Alesi’s pace with this big car and considering all the circumstances, I guess we have to look at it as it’s just not the right time. We are in no rush for her to move up from jr.’s, but we’d like her to get some seat time so she can become familiar with this car.” Alesi and Ayrton would like to thank Hoosier Thunder Motorsports Team owners Terry and Rhonda McMillen and their team, Amalie Oil, TORCO Racing Fuels, Flatout Gaskets, and NGK Spark Plugs for being the best sponsors in the racing industry. Also, thanks to the IHRA, Sherrie Barbour, and Drag Review for your support of jr. dragster racing.
