The 2008 IHRA Division 4 Pro-Am Tour made its first stop at San Antonio Raceway on March 14-16, 2008, and Alesi & Ayrton Gerthe of New Breed Racing were excited to officially get this season started.

Alesi and Ayrton competed in Quick Rod, an 8.90 Index class. Ayrton made his debut and is doing really well adjusting to the many different things about his move to a full size dragster. Although he ended each day after first round, the knowledge he gained will prepare him for upcoming races.

Alesi is much more comfortable this year in her dragster and on Saturday she went out first round, but on Saturday went out second round.

Next stop for the team is the upcoming Amalie Oil Texas Nationals at San Antonio Raceway, April 3-6, 2008.
