THOMAS, SPENCER, CRAWFORD WIN TOP ET TITLES
Stevens, Alford Also Shine at Rockingham’s
Yuengling Carolina Powerfest 6
|
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – Fairmont’s Timothy Thomas,
Raeford’s Michael Spencer and Jefferson, S.C.’s
Kevin Crawford were the big money winners, Makala
Stevens of Lexington, S.C., made it to the final
round in all three Jr. Dragster races and Angier’s
Steve Alford got the ironman award during
Yuengling Carolina Powerfest 6 completed Sunday at
Rockingham Dragway.
Thomas, Spencer and Crawford took home $5,000
shares of the posted purse as the Top ET winners
on Sunday, Saturday and Friday, respectively.
Thomas got the final share by besting Wilmington’s
Chad Duke in the Sunday final by .011 of a second.
The best race of the day, however, was the one
between reigning Rockingham Dragway champ Mark
Soles of Delco and Cole Williams of Zebulon. Soles
had a perfect .000 reaction time and was just .020
off his target time, but still lost the fifth
round showdown.
Alford drove his venerable 1971 Pinto to a
Footbrake victory over the 1978 Chevy Malibu of
Jim Woods of Laurens, S.C., on Saturday, was
runner-up to Chris “Hot Rod” Gibson of Lexington
on Friday and reached the round of six on Sunday
before fouling out to eventual winner Ricky
Bullock of Sanford.
Bullock’s Sunday Footbrake victory came at the
expense of Jason McCandless of Graham who was
guilty of a breakout foul by .004 of a second.
Nevertheless, it was an impressive showing for
McCandless, the former Jr. Dragster standout who
is the grandson of Pro Stock legend Herb “Mr.
4-Speed” McCandless of Burlington.
After final round disappointments on both Friday
and Saturday, Stevens turned back Conner Caulder
of St. Pauls to get the win on Sunday. Overall,
she won 17 rounds during weekend, only two fewer
than Alford. She lost the Friday final to Cam
Whisnant of Dallas and on Saturday broke out by
.005 against Rowland’s Hayden Dial.
