Pomona, Ca. – The concept of Drag Racing is simple. Run your car in a straight line as fast as you can to the finish. Cody Perkins found out at the 47th annual Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals that it is never dull. The 801 Racing sponsored Top Alcohol Dragster provided a few memorable trips down the quarter mile.
“There was something exciting every time down the track,” said Perkins. “We never had a boring run.”

Las Vegas, NV. – Going broke in Vegas usually means only one thing. The tables got the best of you, or the one armed bandit kept everything it was given. At the Division 7 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Cody Perkins may not have lost money at the casinos, but the 801 Racing sponsored Top Alcohol Dragster did break a few parts.
“I think we broke one of everything,” said Perkins. “We broke all kinds of parts like heads, belts and even our windshield.”
Las Vegas, NV – NHRA Top Alcohol Drag Racing is not always easy to deal with. This last weekend at the Division 7 race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Johnny Ahten and his CleanBoost sponsored team realized this very fact.

Las Vegas, NV. – Cody Perkins and his 801 Racing sponsored Dragster are looking for some home track advantage for this weekend’s Division 7 race. Even though the Perkins Team is from Utah, they consider the Las Vegas Motor
Speedway their home track. The previous weekend’s National event provided the necessary background information needed to go faster

Second Round Exit Makes Perkins More Determined to Finish Strong
Las Vegas, NV. – Cody Perkins and the 801 Racing Team are looking to finish up the year strong after going as far as the second round at the Big O Tires Nationals this past weekend. The team missed the first round of qualifying when it was discovered that they had broken the chassis in transit.
“We got behind the 8 ball to start, but we worked together and got it fixed,” said Perkins. “The key to going rounds is making runs when the conditions are good.”
Las Vegas, NV - Johnny Ahten has a bedtime story to tell his grandchildren. It’s all about the 2011 Big O Tires Nationals.

Just as the story is getting good, it abruptly ends in a cliff hanger.
Las Vegas, NV. - Cody Perkins and the 801 Racing Team are planning for a good time in Vegas this weekend. The town itself is known to be exciting and a bit wild. This weekend, the good times will be down the track, and in the pits.

The gang from 801 Racing will also be there in support of their new runway model. Not all glitz and glam, the race is where Perkins really wants to shine.
