Pomona, Ca. – Cody Perkins and the 801 Racing Team are looking to days gone by for inspiration. The venue is the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. It is at this track that Perkins ran his career best. A 5.33 elapsed time blast that he would like to improve upon. The motivation is in place and history is on his side.
“Pomona has treated us pretty good,” said Perkins. “In fact, when my father first ran Pomona he unloaded the car from the trailer and ran a 5.41. We also have made some big hits here and we are looking forward to the challenge”
Cody and his 801 Racing teammates have been busily preparing their Top Alcohol Dragster for the finals. Parts have been replaced, repaired and smoothed over. They will need everything to be right with the caliber of teams making the trip west for the last race of the year. The team is pumped up and ready to go down the quarter mile.
“We are excited about going to a tough race,” added Perkins. “The big teams are here and we want to beat the best. It means much more to run against a stout field.”
To accomplish this, Cody has the support team of his Mom, Dad and Grandma. Also making the trip down from Utah is the gang from 801 Racing. They have been pit side lending a helping hand to the team for the last few races.
The final race at Pomona has a storied past of speed and tradition. In his 801 Racing sponsored Dragster, Cody Perkins looks to tap into a bit of history and make this race his career best.
