Happy Halloween! Adrenaline The Series Returns

It's back! Your Agent's favorite online show, Adrenaline The Series, this time featuring the 2nd annual Gatorz Ohio Drags from Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH, will debut tomorrow (Oct. 31) at noon EST.

The Ohio Drags features many memorable moments, including Frankie "Mad Man" Taylor's career-first Pro Extreme win, Shannon Jenkins' dominating Pro Nitrous run, David Janes successfully defending his '07 Extreme 10.5 race title, and Billy Vose demonstrating why he's now the two-time Pro Extreme Motorcycle world champion. Hosted by your Agent's friends over at www.DragRacingOnline.com, the new edition of Adrenaline The Series will also have a dedicated link here on the home page of www.ADRL.us.

Even better, your Agent understands that Adrenaline The Series, featuring the historic Hushpower Dragstock V from Rockingham, NC, will debut next Friday, Nov.8, at noon EST, as well, so his advice would be to get comfortable these next couple of Fridays and get ready for some "Adrenaline on Asphalt," ADRL-style!

We Have Winners!

In his return to Pro Extreme racing, Quain Stott (top left) won a wild final in the 4th annual LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals against now two-time world champion Jason Scruggs.

Mike Castellana (top right) won in Pro Nitrous when final-round opponent Jim Halsey shook the tires soon after launching.

Extreme 10.5 star Billy Glidden (bottom left) completed the sweep at the Texas Motorplex with a Battle for the Belts championship on Friday night and a final-round victory over Gary White on Saturday.

Scott Gray made the most of debuting new sponsor Bionic Tonic energy drinks by putting them in the Pro Extreme Motorcycle victory lane after defeating Matt Prophit in the final round at Ennis, TX.

Stanton Goes Career-Best E.T. and Speed

Fresh off the trailer in testing for tonight's championship-deciding Battle for the Belts at the ADRL World Finals in Texas, Bubba Stanton finally got his first 200-mph run and went quicker than ever before in his career with a 3.773-seconds pass at 202.48 mph. Though not an official pass, Stanton joins fellow Mississippi racer Jason Scruggs as the only drivers to exceed the magic double-century mark at an ADRL national event.

Your Agent is suitably impressed.

New ADRL Class? - Pro Remote?

Four-year-old Benjamin McDonald clowns around with his dad, Bennie Jr., after playing in the pits at the 4th annual LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals with a very cool radio-controlled replica of Daddy's '53 Corvette Pro Extreme entry put together by Larry Fortenberry of Birmingham, AL.

Fortenberry owns Bama Radio-Controlled Dragway, a one-tenth scale quarter-mile strip (132 feet) where the current records are 1.38 seconds at a whopping true speed of 104 miles per hour.

Hmmmm, maybe Fortenberry can create a one-tenth scale, radio-controlled version of your Agent's '83 Hyundai Pony. Now, that would be cool!

Gray Gets Ground-Breaking Backer

Your Agent was very happy to learn that Pro Extreme Motorcycle Battle for the Belts contender Scott Gray has signed Bionic Tonic (www.bionicproducts.us), a brand-new, all-natural energy drink, as his primary sponsor.

The deal, put together by Gray's brother, Daniel, and Bionic Products principals Rick Lafaye and J.D. Pulver, makes Gray the first PXM team owner to bring a non-racing-related primary sponsor into the ADRL's two-wheeled class.

Gray also picked up significant backing for 2009 in the form of a new toterhome from Scott Jager of the Christian Contractors Association.

Your Agent sends kudos Gray's way for finding such important support in the midst of such a tough economic climate.
