Massive Drag Gallery: The 2011 ADRL CarSafe Dragapalooza – Houston, Texas


Massive Drag Gallery: The 2011 ADRL CarSafe Dragapalooza – Houston, Texas

Drag racing season in the USA is officially in full swing with the ADRL’s opening race having gone down last weekend. The 2011 CarSafe DragaPalooza VII was a strong opening shot for an ADRL that is coming into the year having made a lot of changes. The points structure has changed, the leadership has changes, hell, the announcers have changed. What hasn’t changed? That’s an easy one. The performances turned in by the racers. The competition was sledgehammer tough and the fields were full, two things that would make any sanctioning body smile. 

Scroll through the winners below and then hit the link for a massive 400 photo extravaganza from our Texas photo maven, Charles Wickam. He did a bad ass job of covering the action from the track, the stands, the pits, and the wall! No single guy worked harder at this event than Wickam and it shows! Check the winners and then check out the photos! 

The winners from the event were as follows:

Pro Extreme — Jason Hamstra, Plymouth Duster, 3.687, 209.82  def. Todd Tutterow, Chevy Camaro, foul. 
Pro Nitrous — Khalid Al-Balooshi, Chevy Camaro, 3.816, 198.32  def. Pat Stoken, Camaro, 3.872, 194.44. 
Extreme 10.5 — Lamar Swindoll Jr., Chevy Cavalier, 4.030, 201.37  def. Billy Glidden, Ford Mustang, 4.081, 178.68. 
Pro Extreme Motorcycle — Ashley Owens, Suzuki, 4.025, 180.04  def. Kim Morrell, Suzuki, 5.098, 138.98. 
Extreme Pro Stock — Cary Goforth, Chevy Cobalt, 4.074, 177.30  def. John Montecalvo, Cobalt, 4.065, 178.07. 
Pro Junior Dragster — Henry Canales Jr, Hardins, 8.029, 80.84  def. Tia Tutterow, Halfscale, 7.959, 80.90. 

Charles wanted to give a special thanks to Roger Richards for helping him though some photo equipment failures he suffered. Roger is one of the true good guys in the drag racing media and we’ve known him for years. He proved once again why he is knowns as one of the true class acts in this business. Roger, from Charles, we say thank you!
