Press release from www.ADRL.us
While competing this weekend in the American Drag Racing League’s (ADRL’s) 2010 season-opening ADRL Universal Technical Institute Dragpalooza VI presented by Safety-Kleen, Extreme Pro Stock’s Team Aruba and driver Trevor Eman will also be observing Aruba’s National Anthem and Flag Day.
In a celebration of the ‘status aparte’ of the country of Aruba, which became a sovereign country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1986, businesses and schools in the small island nation are closed, allowing Aruba’s citizens to enjoy the national holiday.
Aruba celebrates National Anthem and Flag Day this year on Mar. 18, the same day Eamon and crew will attempt to qualify their colorful 2006 Ford Escort for Dragpalooza VI before hosting a pitside cookout at Houston Raceway Park.
“We’ll be having a cookout on Friday the 19th, after the last qualifying round of Extreme Pro Stock, to celebrate Aruba’s Flag Day,” Eman said. “We’re inviting all Extreme Pro Stock teams and ADRL officials to our cookout to celebrate this joyful occasion with us.”
Team Aruba also will offer Aruba decals for fellow XPS drivers to sport in support of their country’s heritage.
Eman, currently studying mechanical engineering at the University of Central Florida, plans to make drag racing a full-time career after college graduation.
“Our ultimate goal this year,” he says, “is placing in the top eight—to be contenders at the Battle for the Belts later this year.”
With the sponsorship support of Aruba’s official tourism Web site, www.Aruba.com, and associate sponsor Digicel Aruba, Eman feels confident that 2010 will be a great year for his team.
“We’re all working hard and expecting great results.”
