[coverattach=1](2-10-10) DOHA, Qatar – Just a day away from the first qualifying round of Round 6 of the Arabian Drag Racing League’s seven-race series, Von Smith and the Barwa Racing Pro Extreme Team are reminded of the situation they were in last season, taking the championship battle down to the last round of the last race. Having been here before, and given the opportunity to do things slightly different, Smith and company are hoping to widen the gap and take a step towards clinching their second Pro Modified world championship at the Qatar Race Club with a win this week.
“Winning last year’s championship here in Qatar for Sheikh Khalid and Al-Anabi Racing was a crowning achievement for both Howard [Moon, crew chief] and I,” said Smith from the team’s shop located on-site at the QRC. “We’re excited to have an opportunity to earn another championship this year for Barwa, and that’s our only focus going into these late rounds.”
The veteran driver from Oak Ridge, Tennessee continued, “They’ve done a great job here this year with the Arabian Drag Racing League and as far as the competition is concerned, we know we’re going to have our hands full, but Howard, Mac, Bryan, Terry and Jarom have been working around the clock to give me the best car possible on race day. Considering the way Howard had this Barwa Racing Pro Extreme Camaro running in Round 5, I’m confident we can put her in the winner’s circle on Friday.”
With two races left in the ADRL series and Al-Anabi Racing teammates Von Smith and Sheikh Khalid Al-Thani locked in a tight points battle, it will be a round-by-round shootout to determine the season champion, and the action starts this week at the Qatar Race Club with qualifying getting underway at 7:00 PM AST on Thursday, February 11th, with a second round scheduled for 9:00 PM. A final round of qualifying will take place at 5:00 PM AST on Friday the 12th, with eliminations getting underway at 7:00 PM AST.
