Bracket Racing TEXAS Style
Darvin Martinets and Howard Main of Houston have teamed up to field a blown top alcohol dragster to run the complete division 4 series.
The team has aquired the Complete former divisional champion Guy Kelly, Ron Swearington tuned, Division 2 "Bama Boys" operation.The Brad Hadman car will be tuned by a former division 4 champion tuner Chris Russel.
The Houston based team will be primarily funded by "Reaction Delivery" a Houston based short and long haul Hot Shot Trucking company owned by Howard Main. Associate sponsorship will be provided by Pipe Tools, a Houston based rental company specializing in Field machining equipment for the petrochemical industry.
The driver is no stranger to the seat, Darvin Martinets fielded a competitive alcohol cars for over 10 years in the eighties and early nineties..
According to Darvin :
You can not belive how excited I am to return to my roots in Alcohol Dragster, It is a dream come true to come back with a proven car, the best equipment, and the funding to do it properly. Last time I drove my old alcohol car. a 6.20 was fast, and most people did not even know who Mike Spitzer of Spitzer Race cars was. That tells you it has been a while.
Howard says:
Darvin and I pondered this idea a bunch, we went to Reading and Dallas, we talked to Kosky, Thacker, Cantrells, O'Bannons and everone that would give a opinion, the consensus was, we were not Crazy, Blown cars were not "dead" and Kelly had "the" car for sale.
We need to get our parts and spares together, get the ex Don Gartlis transporter rig tooled out and get testing by the end on the month.
I cannot belive the support we have had in this endevor I would like to thank Will Hanna for putting us in touch with the right people to make this happen. Even Big Daddy says he may show up a time or two to show us how it is done.
I am excited as hell. Everything is starting to come together. ............
Thats awesome. Good to ya'll in 2007!
