AAAC Racing Update

Friday October 8th – Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park

A All Animal Control Racing Team brings home another win with Mark E. Dotson’s Suzuki Hayabusa. “The air Friday night was perfect” said Dotson. The first pass drew a bye run with a high card drawn. Our teammate Bobby Arey lined up against Ray Perdue and Ray red-lighted. Then it was down to Bobby and Mark to battle it out. Both of their lights were good but Bobby spun down track and went off his dial giving the win to Mark.

Dotson was paired with Ray Perdue in the semi-finals and Mark broke way out.

Bobby was paired with Jim Utt and Bobby dialed a 6.50 and ran a 6.66, Jim dialed a higher number and broke way out as well.

On the final, Bobby dialed a 6.55 and ran a 6.67 and Ray fell off his dial and gave the win to Bobby. On a side note, Bobby’s bike was just finished by Casto’s Motorcycle Sales due to an accident earlier in September. He went from a wrecked bike to winning the Iron Man!

October 7th 2010 - Dunbar, WV

A All Animal Control Racing has brought home the Bike Championship at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park for the 2010 season.

"Thanks to the sponsors for helping us bring home the win" said Mark E. Dotson, the rider of their 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa. Without the great folks at Balance Clothing, Casto Cycle Sales and Motul, we could not have achieved the results we did.

" I would also like to extend a special thanks to my wife Alisa for being there and helping me crew the bike".

"It was a big challenge this year with the shutdown of our AMA Dragbike series, but we refocused our efforts locally and came out on top" Dotson said.

"We are making plans for our 2011 season and will post that as soon as we know the direction we are taking", explained Dotson.

AAAC Racing Update

AAAC Racing spent last weekend under lovely skies racing at Pittsburgh Raceway Park during the Region 3 IHRA Bracket Finals. We are the first motorcycle to represent Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park at the Bracket Finals.

We were only able to run 1 qualifying pass each day and Friday’s pass was a 6.18 on the 1/8th mile. The light was not too bad but our 60’ was a bit off.
Saturday brought some more beautiful weather and cool conditions. This pass was a great light and we clocked a 6.04 through the traps. We dialed a 6.00 flat on the bike as the conditions were getting even better. Saturday afternoon rolled around after much waiting and our time came to run.

We were paired with a snowmobile for the first round. The snowmobile dialed a slower time so he left first. I cut a good light but as I was getting my feet up on the pegs, my hand rolled off the throttle slightly and that cost us the race. The bike ran a 6.15. That is how it goes in drag racing! Everything has to be working perfectly for it to all come together. Next year we will go at it again with a more aggressive approach and take home a trophy.

Thanks to our great sponsors, Casto Motorcycle Sales, Balance Clothing, Motul and A All Animal Control for making a tough season better than it was going to be.
