D9 Summit SuperSeries Top ET Final
In easily the closest battle of the first day of competition, Fayetteville Motorsports Park’s Tim Lucas took the win in an incredibly close race with Farmington Dragway’s Michael Paschal. With the Top ET title on the line, Lucas edged his opponent by the slimmest of margins at the line with a .010 reaction time to a .014, and ran a near dead-on 6.247 elapsed time at 107.75 mph on a 6.24 dial. Paschal ran a 4.634 on a 4.62 in a runner-up effort.
In Mod ET Dunn-Benson Dragstrip’s Brian Perkins was handed the win when the lone non-North Carolina track representative Jim Sells of Elk Creek lit the red bulb by -.008. Still, Perkins closed out the race with a 6.734 on a 6.70 dial with a .030 reaction time.
D9 Summit SuperSeries Mod ET Final
Noah Strickland, representing Mooresville Dragway, took the Junior Dragster title over Dunn-Benson Dragstrip’s Dawson Wigging who ran just a tad too quick on his dial. Strickland had a .049 light and ran a 7.916 on a 7.90 dial at 81.65 mph while Wigging had a 9.043 on a 9.08.
Other big winners at the Division 9 Team Finals were Main Event winners Cameron Manuel from Farmington Dragway in Top ET, Jeff Longhany from Fayetteville Motorsports Park in Mod ET and Zachary Houser from Farmington Dragway in Junior Dragster.
