With much anticipation to hear the details on ADRL’s 2010 schedule we were enlightened with today’s announcement. There was an original preliminary schedule released earlier in the year but a few dates have been modified, as well as events added. So mark you calendars this year if you want to check out some of the baddest cars to tear up the 1/8th mile from Pro Nitrous to Extreme 10.5, ADRL has a little of everything.
For more details on the nine race schedule and the group that runs the show visit ADRL.us.
One of the interesting additions to the schedule is their plan to return to Summit Motorsports Park where they last visited in 2008, will return to the schedule for the September 24-25 weekend in 2010. With the intention of giving teams more time for testing before the season opener the first race was pushed back one week. The current 9 event 2010 Schedule reads as follows:
Mar. 19-20: ADRL Safety-Kleen Dragpalooza VI Houston Raceway Park Baytown, Texas
Apr. 23-24 ADRL Hardee’s Georgia Drags VI South Georgia Motorsports Park Cecil, Georgia

Oct. 22-23: LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals VI Texas Motorplex Ennis, Texas
In summary, ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling said, “Creating a season schedule is one of the most challenging tasks we face every year as there are so many variables and individuals to consider, ultimately every scheduling decision is reached based on how it affects our racers and track partners and our ability to put on the best show possible for ADRL fans. I think the scheduling changes we’re announcing today reflect that process well and will result in a stronger 2010 ADRL season all around.” We look forward to seeing what the 2010 ADRL season brings us.
