Texas Roadhouse Heads For Atlanta
Nothstein and team seeking dry weather – and a win

Milford, Michigan – The Texas Roadhouse Top Alcohol Funny Car team never even left the shop before the April 13th – 15th Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division 3 race, at Indianapolis, was called on account of rain. The unexpected spare weekend was a double-edged sword, though. Frank Parker and his crew gained extra time for preparation, but lost a little ground in the points standings, as other divisions were able to run their events.

According to team driver, Marty Nothstein, “Frank and I used the rain weekend to discuss new tune-up ideas and how to apply them on the track. Nobody likes to miss a race weekend, but this one worked to our advantage. We feel we’re better prepared for Atlanta than if we had raced at Indy.”

The team transporter left a still-rainy Michigan, on its way to the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Summernationals, in Commerce, Georgia. The April 26th – 29th Atlanta weather is supposed to be great for racing and for Texas Roadhouse barbecue.

Qualifying for alcohol-fueled competitors is on Friday at 2:00 PM and 5:30 PM, then again on Saturday at 1:30 PM. The first round of alcohol eliminations is 4:40 PM Saturday. Final eliminations kick off at 11:00 AM Sunday. For ticket, schedule and track information, call 800-884-6472 or visit the track website at www.atlantadragway.com/.
