Press Release from www.ADRL.us
Outside commitments prevented ADRL Extreme Pro Stock driver John Montecalvo from participating in the ADRL’s championship-deciding Speedtech Battle for the Belts in 2009, but this year he plans to strengthen his ADRL presence with a full-season effort to pursue his goal of eighth-mile dominance.
Montecalvo begins his run toward the 2010 Speedtech Battle for the Belts this weekend, Mar. 19-20, in the ADRL Universal Technical Institute Dragpalooza VI presented by Safety-Kleen at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, Texas.
“We’re excited to get the ADRL season underway,” Montecalvo said. “We’re looking forward to racing in front of the ADRL’s huge number of fans in Houston. This will be our first time competing at Houston Raceway Park, although we’ve tested there before. They have a top-notch facility and do a great job with it. We’re excited to compete there.”
The winner of last year’s rain-delayed Michigan ADRL event at Topeka, Kansas, Montecalvo is looking for more visits to an ADRL Winner’s Circle Party this year.
“Sonny [Leonard, of Sonny’s Racing Engines] found more power for us this year. We tested at Valdosta and put down some good numbers. Now we go to Houston and see how everybody stacks up after the off-season updates have been made,” he said.
“We’re really looking forward to racing the ADRL this year. We had a great year with them last year, winning our first Minuteman (trophy) and we’re optimistic for the 2010 season. Our goal is nothing less than the championship.”
