AHDRA LONESTAR NATIONALS PRESENTED BY KRESTO MAY 2ND & 3RD- TEXAS MOTORPLEX

Winston-Salem, NC, April 24, 2008- AHDRAıs Screaminı Eagle Championship Series is headed to the giant state of Texas next weekend with some giant sized-action of itıs own!

Itıs time for the 225-plus mph Nitro Harleys, Pro Stocks, Pro Mods, V-Rods and more at Texas Motorplex. Thereıs plenty of heads-up competition, index racing and ET bracket racing too! This year the competition will be stronger than ever as hundreds of racers making up the sixteen categories of AHDRA competition head to Texas Motorplex on May 3rd and 4th.

Like any event on the AHDRA tour, fans eagerly await the sight of those smoky- tire shaking-ground pounding burnouts and the smell of nitro lingering in the air!

The two-time Screaminı Eagle Top Fuel National champion, Doug Vancil of Albuquerque, NM will compete at the Lonestar Nationalıs in Texas. After his win at AHDRAıs recent appearance in Madison, IL-he is currently in the #2 spot in the 2008 points standings.

Mark Conner of St. Louis, MO who is also expected to compete at the upcoming race in Ennis, TX holds the #1 spot. Conner had the top spot on the charts after a win at the Florida season opener before Oregonıs, Steve Dorn edged ahead by three marks at the 2nd event in Arizona. Heading into Texas, Dorn is now 3rd in the standings.

Less than twenty points separate the top three contenders, so fierce competition could shuffle the order once again at Texas Motorplex.

Tak Shigematsu (currently 8th in the Top Fuel standings) and the #2 plate-holder, put on an astounding performance at Gateway Intıl Raceway in April with a 230mph new Top Fuel record and a brand new Pro Fuel ET record number of 6.52. Could he go even faster in Texas? He will travel all the way from Ehime, Japan to compete and if repeats that remarkable performance-heıll be making a leap closer to the top of the order.
