Pro Extreme is the ADRL’s flagship class. There were 14 entries at Cordova including three teams that cracked the Top Ten in points in 2012:  Mick Synder, Jason Scruggs and Alex Hossler. Hossler in an Al-Anabi house car tuned by Frank Manzo set Low ET of the class with a best of 3.677/204.48 and improved that performance with a 3.663/206.10 charge on a first round single when Neal Wantye broke.

By the time the semi-finals were run defending series champ Mick Snyder and number 7 Alex Hossler were gone, leaving only Jason Scruggs from 2012’s Top Ten point getters still in the race and dark horse Brandon Snider who reportedly is getting tune-up help from Joey Martin of “Lowmad” fame.
