Sunday Recap
The NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at Z-Max Dragway in Charlotte, NC advanced to a thrilling conclusion on Sunday afternoon. Pro Mod put on a killer show in the 4-Wide format with Mike Stavrinos taking a nine-thousandths of a second (.009) Margin of Victory on a hole shot over second place finisher Justin Bond. Right Trailers Outlaw Street thrilled the crowd all weekend in its Inaugural Event & the winner wasn’t a big surprise as Ryan Martin of Fireball Camaro fame got the job done getting around Scott Taylor in the Final Round, who was .002 Red on the Tree. Joey Severance (Top Alcohol Dragster) and Sean Bellemeur (Top Alcohol Funny Car) both used their Quickest ET’s of the Weekend for Final Round victories. Jonathan Allegrucci matched his #1 Qualifying ET 7.716 to the thousandth to win the Factory Stock Showdown Final Round. Keith Mayers nearly finished off a rare National Event Double Up as he won Super Street, but came out on the losing end of a breakout loss in the Super Gas Final Round. Other Lucas Oil Series winners on the day included Robert Houston (Top Dragster), Frank Altilio (Top Sportsman), Monty Bogan (Comp), Kent Hanley (Super Stock), David Barton (Stock), Lauren Freer (Super Comp), Tim Powell (Super Gas) and Keith Mayers (Super Street). The NHRA National Event tour heads to South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, GA next weekend.
