Team Aruba
Flies to the Number One Spot
BENSON, N.C. (April 8, 2017): Trevor Eman and the Extreme
Pro Stock team from Aruba showed they mean business this
season at the recent PDRA East Coast Nationals, the team’s
first race of the season. The Aruba Airport Authority
backed team qualified at the top of the Extreme Pro Stock
pack, their 4.04 effort flying past the other 13 cars
present. The Aruba.com Mustang had the top MPH, too, at
178.24.
The team moved into eliminations with lane choice, which
proved to be helpful with the uncertain weather conditions
of the weekend. Eman used an incredible .009 reaction time
and driving prowess to get down the track ahead of his
opponent, Rocky Watford, in round one. In round two, Eman
had the bye thanks to his top qualifying spot. He had
another amazing reaction time, .005, and was set to meet
multi-time world champion Cary Goforth in the semi-finals.
Although Eman put together a strong run with a 4.046
elapsed time, Goforth would get to the finish line first.
Although Eman and the team had hoped for a win, beginning
the year with a number one qualifying award and a
semi-final finish provided a strong base for the season.
“It would have been nice to get past Cary and make it to
the finals at GALOT,” told Eman, “but it was certainly a
nice first outing and will give us a good place to work
from moving on to the next event. The weather was tricky,
which made conditions difficult. The team did a wonderful
job changing our Kaase-powered Mustang to get down the
track and win rounds.
“Another great take-away from the weekend was that we got
to meet many new fans and introduce more people to the
ease and accessibility of an Aruban vacation,” Eman
continued. “It’s always special for us to talk about our
island home to people who have never considered visiting
there before. We are passionate about ‘The One Happy
Island’ and love to share that with people everywhere.”

While the Aruba.com Mustang
will return to its stables in Union, S.C, Eman returned home to his wife,
Nicole and their new baby daughter, Elana. The team will be back in action
for the PDRA Spring Nationals, May 18-20 at Darlington Dragway.
“We’re excited to race at such a historic place as Darlington. We hope to
continue our momentum there and get our first win of the season.”
