 ADRL Win Thanks to All!The biggest and most important factor for the entire weekend was the teamwork and communication between the crew, consultants, and owner. We knew where we were with the tune ups coming into Baytown from numerous test sessions between State Capital Raceway in Baton Rouge, LA and No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, La. The combination of Tim Savell's blistering 3.99 185 mph run on Friday night, and the slower but more consistent car driven by Stan Allen to the National Guard ADRL Pro-Nitrous win gave the team the moral boost to get us on the path to where we need to be. Brad Morgan of Reher-Morrison stepped in at the request of long time friend Billy Banaka to assist in tuning the Blue Beast to Bankston Boyz Racing's first 3 second run, and along with the abilities of Mark Niebes, former crew member of Billy Harper and Dennis Radford, allowed for a weekend that we will remember for some time to come. I am sure that there were many more people involved in making this come together for us and I thank you all! The professionalism exhibited by Kenny Knowling and all of the National Guard ADRL staff should be commended for providing an atmosphere in which everyone who comes to compete are made to feel welcome and safe at the facilities where we compete. Special thanks to Seth Angel, owner of Houston Raceway Park, the event sponsors the National Guard and Safety-Kleen for making it possible for the ADRL to race at one of the finest facilities anywhere. We are pleased to have been able to interact with the fans which are the reason we keep on going! Thank You, Mark Teague |
