FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Live Image Group, LLC Contact: Live Image Group (636) 447-0336 or lindsay@liveimagegroup.com www.liveimagegroup.com 2010 a Big Year for Team Aruba; Ready to Battle at Houston SAINT LOUIS, MO (MARCH 17, 2010) — Look out, Houston! Team Aruba is set to explode the Houston Raceway track this year at the 2010 Universal Technical Institute Dragpalooza VI in late March. In an extreme game of ‘now you see them, now you don’t’, Team Aruba will thrill drag racing fans as they tear down the 1/8th mile track at Houston Raceway Park in their colorful, Caribbean-inspired car on March 20th. Trevor Eman of Team Aruba is excited for the big event. “We just tested down in Bradenton, Florida, running a 4.06 on the 1/8th mile track.” The team also ran their best elapsed time of 6.26 at 223mph on the ¼ mile track. Trevor, looking forward to Dragpalooza VI, is optimistic about the 2010 season. “Our run at Bradenton makes us very competitive in the Extreme Pro Stock category. We’re feeling pretty confident right now.” While in Houston, Team Aruba will be observing Aruba’s National Anthem and Flag Day, celebrating the ‘status aparte’ of Eman’s and Team Aruba’s home country of Aruba, which became a sovereign country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1986. On Aruba’s National Anthem and Flag Day, businesses and schools are closed, allowing Aruba’s citizens to fully celebrate the national holiday. The small island will celebrate National Anthem and Flag Day on March 18th, through various celebrations, festivals, and a day off of work. To celebrate, Team Aruba will host a cookout while in Houston. “We’ll be having a cookout on Friday the 19th, after the last qualifying round of Extreme Pro Stock, to celebrate Aruba’s Flag Day. We’re inviting all Extreme Pro Stock teams and ADRL officials to our cookout to celebrate this joyful occasion with us.” Team Aruba will also be offering Aruba decals for fellow drivers to sport in support of Aruba’s heritage. Eman, currently studying mechanical engineering at the University of Central Florida, plans to make drag racing a full-time career after college graduation. In 2009, Eman qualified 9 out of 10 races, and was runner-up in a very close race at the Bradenton Street Nationals Pro Street division. “Our ultimate goal this year,” Eman envisions, “is placing in the top 8th—to be contenders at the Battle for the Belts later this year.” With the sponsorship support of Aruba’s official tourism website, www.Aruba.com and associate sponsor Digicel Aruba, Eman, racing for Team Aruba since 2007, feels confident that 2010 will be a great year for his team. “We’re all working hard and expecting great results.” Fans can tune into the Versus Network on Sundays at 3pm ET for comprehensive race coverage of Team Aruba.
