Jason Hamstra isn’t one to boast about himself or his team. The DeMotte, Ind.-based driver and his crew just do it.
Saturday night in Valdosta, Ga., Hamstra became a first-time Pro Extreme ADRL national event winner, driving his supercharged, Lencodrive-equipped entry to the Hardees Georgia Nationals title by stopping the dominating Jason Scruggs.
Hamstra raced like he’s raced for much of his career to this point, under the radar and with very little fanfare, posting just enough to win. First ADRL Win Proves that Consistency is the Way to the Promised Lane …

Saturday night in Valdosta, Ga., Hamstra became a first-time Pro Extreme ADRL national event winner, driving his supercharged, Lencodrive-equipped entry to the Hardees Georgia Nationals title by stopping the dominating Jason Scruggs.
Hamstra raced like he’s raced for much of his career to this point, under the radar and with very little fanfare, posting just enough to win.
He had a monster match up in the finals with Scruggs. With Scruggs capable of running 4.60s, one would expect they would have to load up and throw everything including the kitchen sink at the run.
True to form, Hamstra was very predictable in the highly unpredictable Pro Extreme division.
“We didn’t try to do too much but it got a little out of hand in the semi-finals,” Hamstra said. “I just tried to make a smooth lap [in the final] and had a good reaction time and decided to let the cards fall how they were going to fall.
“We just try to run consistent and get off the line quick. That’s what wins races.”
Truer words couldn’t have been spoken.
In four rounds of competition Hamstra recorded a 3.83, 3.79, 3.81 and then a 3.80 in the final round.
“We could step it up if we wanted to but our main goal is just to get down the race track,” Hamstra admitted. “Sometimes we are just a little conservative.”
