Kenny Nowling has taken a dream by the wing and lead it to be the hot bed for outlaw style racing. The series has proven to be a fan favorite with free admission to their events with the help of their sponsors.

Catch all the action of the ADRL on their website. Dragzine has become a familiar name in featuring their brand.

Over the weekend the ADRL racers broke out the hot rods and headed out for some pre-season testing. We already seen the highlight of “Turbo” Todd Moyer breaking into the three second zone with his twin turbo Chevrolet Cavalier which is prepared for Extreme 10.5 competition. Moyer is a fan favorite and has been pushing his combination to the limits to joing the three second club.

On another note reigning Extreme 10.5 Champion Spiro Pappas was out in force at Houston Raceway Park. Pappas wheeled his Pontiac GPX to a 3.93 second run at nearly 195mph. Rumor has it that the crew made mention of a light tune-up and there is plenty more where that came from.
