AVERSTEDT
BACK ON TRACK
Commerce, GA - Last weekend Team Averstedt went to Atlanta Dragway
during the Division 2 Federal-Mogul event for the first testing
of their new A/Fuel Dragster and the renewal of Viveca's license.
They came to the track under extremely poor conditions (3,700 ft
air and 95 degrees F). Averstedt made four runs and improved every
run. Averstedt's best run came in her final pass, with a 5.687 second,
223.91 mph and with an amazing 60 ft of .960. Viveca was forced
to shut off at 1,000 ft as the car moved towards the wall. When
the scoreboard showed the time everyone was "Wowed"! The
team's performance in Atlanta demonstrates that they are serious
about competing in the NHRA Federal-Mogul Series.
"The last several months have been very busy ones for us as
we have been not only finalizing our new car but working with a
dynamic group of marketing and promotional professionals to assist
us in our marketing efforts. Their expertise includes years of experience
with Disney, Universal and advertising agencies. They are spearheading
all of our marketing and sponsorship procurement efforts. Their
ideas are some of the most innovative we have ever heard in racing,"
states Averstedt. Averstedt Nitro Racing has secured three local
Orlando sponsors -- Adrenaline Films, a film and video production
company that counts CBS's SURVIVOR as a recent client, GRM Creative
Services and Rhubarb Productions who were responsible for website
and marketing video production. Currently, the team is soliciting
sponsorship opportunities for Federal-Mogul A/Fuel partnerships
for the remainder of the 2001 season and A/Fuel and Top Fuel sponsors
for 2002-2005.
