 Being a fellow racer I know that
the only thing longer than waiting two weeks between races is
having to settle for second for two weeks. Such was the case in
Super Pro, Alan Bracey (Lubbock, TX.) had come up short on the
previous race and came out for Lubbock Dragway's 7th point race
with a vengeance. Bracey cut the tree down round after round to
power his `67 Camaro to victory. Rusty Rose (Levelland, TX.) had
trouble at the line in his Dragster so he had to cruise to the
runner-up spot. Larry Stokes and Don Slaughter were the class
semis. |

In the four remaining classes
all the winners made their second appearance of the season in the
Precision Auto Repair winners circle. |
 Jerry
Cottrell (Lubbock, TX.) in his `72 Nova nailed the tree with a
.006 light and ran a 11.109 (11.07) to take the win in Sportsman
over Bobby Fira's (Crosbyton, TX.) `69 Nova who paired off a .050
light with a 10.873 (10.86) run. Billy Dubios was the lone
semi-finalist. |
 In
Modified, Don Sexton (Lubbock, TX.) wheeled his `69 Camaro over
Alfred Hernandez (Sundown, TX.) who was trying to pick up his
fourth win of the season. Juvey Pena made a charge at the finals
before being retired in the semis. |
 Lyndan
Devin (Plainview, TX.) and Josie Cavazos (Smyer, TX.) had more at
stake than just the win in Street, both were fighting for position
in the points race. Devin's `70 Fairlane edged out Cavazos' `84
Corvette for the win and both racers ended the night tied for
second. Carl Stokes and Stacy Acevedo were the class semis. |
 Mica
Shipley (Littlefield, TX.) used consistent runs to pilot her Jr.
Dragster to victory. In the finals, Keiri Ferguson's better
reaction could not over come Shipley's 10.584 (10.57) run when her
dragster slowed down to a 8.865 (8.76). Sonjia Cortez rounded out
the very competitive class. |
 The
Diesel class winner was newcomer Kevin Hendley. |
 The
Motorcycle class winner was Billy Stevens. |
