Saturday’s race served that purpose as Brian Fleenor, a long-time IHRA racer, earned his first Ironman trophy by defeating Adam Wolfe in the Top ET (Box) final.

Jamie Vernon, a hometown racer from Mt. Vernon, has raced at Pacemakers for over 30 years. He was rewarded with the Mod (No Box) Ironman after beating Andrew Adkins in the final round.

Don’t feel bad for Adkins as he captured the Ironman trophy for the Sportsman class. Adkins beat Dave Lee in the Sportsman final.

There was two-wheel action as well. Bruce Miller emerged as the Motorcycle class winner, defeating Kevin Carpenter in the championship round.

Finally, Trey Dean was the Ironman winner for the Junior Dragsters. He won his 8.90 class and then beat 7.90 winner Nathan Wolfe in the run-off for the Ironman. Also in the Junior Dragsters, Tyson Dean defeated Aiden Held in the 11.90 final.

Speaking of the young racers, Pacemakers Outlaws Motorsports Park hosts the Junior Dragster Throwdown this weekend. There is a Friday night Gamblers’ race, followed by 7.90, 8.90 and 11.90 races on Saturday and Sunday and an All-Run race completed after class racing is over.

Each class winner from Saturday and Sunday in the three categories will run off for prestigious IHRA Ironman trophies after the completion of Sunday’s class event.
