Torrent Tops Trucks
Behind the wheel of a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), Abel Longoria took the Truck Trophy title last Friday Night at Edinburg International Racetrack. The Mission resident topped a field of the fastest pick-ups, SUVs, and Vans from the entire Rio Grande Valley.
His final victim was Robert Arguello from Edinburg. Longoria’s 2006 Pontiac Torrent received just over a two-second head start from the 2003 Dodge Ram of Arguello. The race looked good for Arguello at the start as he gain the reaction time advantage; however, the SUV of Longoria ran closer to it’s posted index and crossed the finish line first by four thousandths of a second.
This week—along with the regular test & tune/fun and grudge drag racing—a Reaction Race takes place on Wednesday Night then the track will be closed for Friday July 4th. Edinburg International Racetrack is located 9 miles north of Edinburg on Highway 281. For more information visit www.edinburgracetrack.com or call (956) 318-0355.
