Alaska Raceway Park's Nathan Thornsley

Alaska Raceway Park’s Nathan Thornsley will represent Top ET at the World Finals, winning the Top ET Summit SuperSeries runoff at Castrol Raceway. He defeated Interlake Dragway’s Ryan Jaenicke in the final. Jaenicke had a perfect triple zero reaction time in the big race, but he couldn’t run the numbers while Thornsley put together a solid package with a .023 reaction time and a 7.725 second pass on a 7.72 dial at 170.81 miles per hour.

In the Mod ET runoff Andy Closkey of Eagle Motorplex defeated Kevin Klaus of the Calgary Drag Racing Association. Klaus won the battle at the line by seven thousandths of a second, but Closkey got it done at the top end with a 10.37 on a 10.35 dial to Klaus’ 11.682 on an 11.65.

In the Junior Dragster runoff Garrett Lloyd of Hi-Line Dragstrip advanced over Tyler Musgrove of Northern Lights, running a solid 8.044 on an 8.01 dial. Musgrove ran a 9.049 on a 9.00 dial.
