HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (February 5)- Fresh off of a runner-up at the closing race of the 2014 season, Cameron Ferré has been itching to get back into the seat of Larry Miersch’s nitro injected A-Fuel dragster. This weekend Ferré will begin his second season competing in the NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster class, piloting the Miersch-owned dragster, at the Circle K NHRA Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.
“Racing at Auto Club Raceway has always held a soft place to my heart, I have been fortunate enough to stand in the winner’s circle here once before after bringing the Wally home in the Super Comp category at the 2012 NHRA Auto Club Finals. This is a home track race for Miersch and the team, it is very rare that we are able to have all of our friends and family out here cheering us one,” Ferré said.
Ferré, Miersch and team came so close to grabbing the Wally at the Auto Club Finals last year but fell short to Duane Shields in the final round. Team owner, Larry Miersch, stated, “We blew it up bad in the semis and fell short on parts. We are coming into the season with fresh parts and going to throw the same tune-up that we gave the car at the finals but hoping for the better result.”
Ferré is returning to competition this weekend with sponsor backing from Racepak Data Systems, Coldcock Whiskey, Popeye Energy, Club Ted, CP Carrillo, Bell Helmets, XRP, Manton, PJ1 Products, Beachwood BBQ and Brewing, Ultimate Design, Brico Industries.
Top Alcohol Dragster competition begins with qualifying sessions at 4 PM Thursday, 2:15 PM Friday and 11:15 AM Saturday. Eliminations start at 2:30 PM on Saturday and continue on Sunday afternoon.
