ADRL WRAPS UP 2006 IN KENNEDALE

Two days of eighth-mile Pro  Modified racing action at Texas Raceway will both bring an end to the FLOWMASTER American Drag Racing League's 2006 season and serve as the  beginning of the 2007 campaign.

The GetWorkComp.com World Finals kicks off Friday with the ADRL's second annual Battle for the Belts competition, two eight-car  eliminators that will determine the 2006 ADRL Pro Extreme and Pro  Nitrous world champions. The fields for those two events has already  been determined, and when the final pair of cars in the Belts competition goes down the track Friday night, the ADRL's 2006 season will have concluded.

Two days of eighth-mile Pro  Modified racing action at Texas Raceway will both bring an end to the FLOWMASTER American Drag Racing League's 2006 season and serve as the  beginning of the 2007 campaign.

The GetWorkComp.com World Finals kicks off Friday with the ADRL's second annual Battle for the Belts competition, two eight-car  eliminators that will determine the 2006 ADRL Pro Extreme and Pro  Nitrous world champions. The fields for those two events has already  been determined, and when the final pair of cars in the Belts competition goes down the track Friday night, the ADRL's 2006 season will have concluded.

But a clean slate will greet all the drivers in attendance on  Saturday, when two rounds of qualifying will finalize the 16-car  fields for the "regular" World Finals eliminators. All points earned in Saturday's competition will count toward the 2007 ADRL points  standings.Last year, drivers such as Pro Nitrous winner Keith Baker and Pro  Extreme runner-up John Lynam used their second-day performances in Kennedale as a springboard toward the top of this season's points  standings.

Overall, seven of the 17 drivers who scored points at the  2005 Kennedale race went on to qualify for the 2006 Battle for the  Belts championship eliminators.

The GetWorkComp.com World Finals begins with open testing on Friday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The first round of the Belts competition is  scheduled for 8:30 p.m., with qualifying for Saturday's fields  kicking in at 9:30 p.m.
