Last year, without a doubt, the Shakedown at E-Town was one of the most sensational events to happen in the Northeast. Seven classes were upped this year to eight, featuring the newest addition of the "Mountain Motor Pro Stock Association" as the featured inclusion.

Al-Anabi Racing had obligations that would disallow them from being able to sponsor the event with contractual limitations so the ADRL.us took the event over with fervor. Back on the billing were Barwa, Speedtech Nitrous, and now Adrenaline Magazine combining to fill the open sponsorship slots. Returning again were Western Beef, Protorque, Modzilla Cannonball Racing, Vincent Amato, K & K Advanced Door Car Technology, Precision Turbo, P M Construction and who can leave out Mickey Thompson.
The Shakedown was not only streamed live over the internet but now just a month later, RPM Magazine, Drag Illustrated, and more have pages of searing high horsepower stories coming to print and most likely in your mailbox. Press and media hounded this event from beginning to end capturing images and pages of text to have posted on internet message boards and social media.
The event this year was all quarter mile drag racing except for the unlimited "The Adrenaline ADRL Outlaw 1/8th Mile Challenge: Presented By Barwa. For lack of better explanations, the earth turning power of these cars is incredible. Doorslammers at their finest. All other classes set records or Shakedown Best ofs for performances. Not a single champion was able to repeat. New champions were crowned and now have a full year to come back and defend their titles with honor.
Susan Verzilli, who was part of the 8.50 Index, was honored after her passing on January 16th of this year. Susan had promoted the huge 8.50 Index field, putting together more money for those racers in the class. The race itself was dedicated in the honor of track owner Vinny Napp and Susan Verzilli during afternoon ceremonies. The legendary Camp Stanley was named Grand Marshall and the lovely "Jessica Barton" was the first official spokesmodel of The Shakedown at E-Town.
