The ADRL is gaining steam coming into 2010 as a series with virtually no rules. The series has a wide array of vehicles that boast everything from full size slicks to 10.5-inch sizes, down to motorcycles. Mickey Thompson is one of those companies that specializes in high performance drag racing tires and they have recently inked a deal with ADRL on becoming the official tire of the series.
