TEAM BIGLEN STARTS 2005 SEASON OUT OF TUNE

Miami, FL – As luck would have it, almost everything that could have gone wrong for the 2005 NHRA season opener, went wrong for Len Monserrat and his Pro RWD effort.  From generator power problems with the semi-truck, to tune-up discrepancies for the "perfect air" on Saturday night, to confusion in the staging lanes, the weekend just did not go right...  Again...

“Unfortunately, it looks like we're starting off the year on the same foot as we have been for the last two seasons...  It's beyond frustrating already,” says Monserrat.  He did add a bit of good news, jokingly: "at least we didn't have a chance to put it on the roof!"  An unusually high, four cars ended up top-side-down during this weekend's event - all driver's walked away with no injuries.

Monserrat chose to park the car on Sunday morning before the final round of qualifying noting how "far off" the tune-up was the night before.  The team will put the car back in the garage for some more preparation to get ready for the next event.
