It was the first night of racing
at Lubbock Dragway, and it was amazing. Great car count, fierce
competition, weather in the high 60s, and superb track
conditions or as the racers say " The track Hooooked!". |
 Jeremy
Melton in his Dragster was dialed in all night, and it paid in
Super Pro with a 7.970 (7.97) at 167.91. Roy Lozano Jr. cut the
tree down in every round but went red to runner-up. Chris Bandy
was the lone semi. |
 In
Sportsman, Linda Lamb collected the biggest check of the night
when she powered her `86 Trans Am with a 9.462 (9.38) victory
over Sammy Mora. Kenny Wenzel and Brad Gore were the
semifinalists. |
 Alfred
Hernandez in his `73 Duster picked up his second straight win in
Modified. Stacy Acevedo in her `96 Mustang had the advantage at
the Tree but went 15.339 (15.34) at the stripe. Veteran racer
Jimmie Anderson in his `50 Willis Jeep took third. |
 In
Street, newcomer Mike Southard and his `72 Camaro cut a .021
light against Alfonso Acevedo, Jr.'s .027 and ran a 14.942
(14.92) to beat Acevedo's 14.768 (14.79) for the win. Carl
Johnson was the class semi. |
 In
Jr. Dragster, a better reaction from hard-hitting Sara Cortez
was the difference at the finish line when Regan Webb crossed
second with a 8.395 (8.39). Ashley Shipley finished in the top
three. |
