TEAM ARUBA BACK TO TAKE ON ADRL XPS ACTION IN 2012
Date: Friday, March 02, 2012
UNION, S.C. March 2, 2012: Fans of the American Drag Racing League will
be happy to know that the smiling faces and palm tree adorned pit area of Team
Aruba will be back on tour for 2012, giving fans a taste of the Aruban paradise
this team calls home. Also as in previous years, fans can learn more about
booking their own dream getaway at each ADRL event.
Driver Trevor Eman and the entire Aruba.com crew are
excited to be back for another year and continue building their program. Although
the team may be looked at as an underdog compared to some of the giants of
Extreme Pro Stock, each year the team grows in confidence and strengthens their
assault on the competition.
“We’re thrilled to be back under the Aruba banner to
compete in the ADRL again,” told Eman. “We love to tell people about our home
country and encourage them to take the vacation of a lifetime, and to be able
to do that through this racing platform is an opportunity we’re very grateful
for. Alltel Wireless will also be on board with us again this year. We’re
keeping much of the same things in place and looking to build on our knowledge
and successes from last year. This team has a huge amount of potential, and we
hope to unleash more of it in 2012.”
Team Aruba will field their stunning Jerry Haas built
Mustang with a Jon Kaase Ford power plant once again providing the muscle.
“Kaase has been working really hard during this off
season finding any improvements he can, and we can’t wait to see how well his
efforts have paid off,” added Eman. “We want to give those Chevy guys a run for
their money, and we’re depending on Jon Kaase to find every little horsepower
he can in that big 825 Ford Hemi. Our Aruba.com Mustang is also updated with
the latest in clutch and drive train innovation.
“We’ll be testing these updates and preparing for the
season during a week-long test session at Bradenton Motorsports Park beginning
on Monday [March 5th]. The guys at Bradenton are really nice folks
and always have a killer track to run on. It’s been our location for pre-season testing
for the past five years now.
“This Aruba.com Team is excited that racing season is
upon us and it’s time to get back to the track. We’re hoping to get a lot
accomplished in this test session and be ready to give it all we’ve got when
Houston gets here. Our fans are some of the best out there and our goal is to
give them a win or two this year. We’re certainly not afraid of hard work, and
our crew has the talent, so hopefully we’ll get a little luck this year and score
a Minute Man for our fans and for Aruba.”
