KH SET FOR RUN AT PRO EXTREME WORLD TITLE IN ROUND 7
(2-24-10) DOHA, Qatar – In the running for his first world-title, KH
is ready for his shot at drag racing glory this week at the Qatar Race
Club during the seventh and final round of the Arabian Drag Racing
League. KH, who has been in the midst of a season-long points battle
with teammate Von Smith, goes into the final event of the season less
than one round win out of the lead.
“Frank [Manzo, crew chief] and the Al-Anabi Racing team have been
working hard to make sure we have the best car possible going into
this most important final round,” says KH, from his office in downtown
Doha. “With drag racing, though, there are no guarantees. It’s going
to come down to who makes the best decisions on race day and me doing
my job as a driver.”
Currently holding both ends of the Arabian Drag Racing League world
records in the ultra-competitive Pro Extreme category, KH has dipped
into the 3.6-second zone on a number of occasions and continues to
encroach on the 210mph mark. While the conditions during the winter
months in the Arabian Gulf Region differ dramatically from those in
the Western world, with temperatures expected to reach 90-degrees on
race day, the Manzo-tuned Pro Extreme ’68 Camaro will be tuned up this
week, as another record-setting performance may be what it takes to
earn the world championship.
“We go into this last race focused on one thing – winning the
championship,” says KH, team owner and driver for Al-Anabi Racing. “We
want to win the race and the championship for all the Al-Anabi Racing
fans here in Qatar, but we are also excited that our teammate, Von
Smith, in the Barwa Camaro is one of the teams in title contention.”
The Al-Anabi Racing Pro Extreme team will kick off the opening rounds
of qualifying for Round 7 of the Arabian Drag Racing League series at
the Qatar Race Club this week, with the first round slated for 7:00 PM
AST on Thursday, February 25th, 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 26th, with eliminations getting underway at 7:00 PM AST.
