ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – Former Pro Mod standout Travis
Harvey of Burlington used his considerable
starting line skill to claim Sunday’s $5,000 top
prize in the Twin Fives Fall ET Bracket Showdown
at Rockingham Dragway.
The driver known familiarly as the “Carolina Kid”
used reaction times of .003, .006 and .004 in the
final three rounds Sunday and beat Robert
Rayfield’s Jefferson, S.C.-based 1964 Chevy Nova
Footbrake entry to the finish in the final round.
Harvey, who raced a Pro Mod series in both the Top
Sportsman and Pro Nitrous classes, missed out on
double when he was beaten in the Saturday
quarterfinals by Footbrake standout Jim Wood of
Laurens, S.C.
The first $5,000 share went to Raleigh’s Gary
Ingold on Saturday. Ingold beat Jason Guthrie of
Vanceboro in the Showdown final after Guthrie send
Wood and his 978 Chevy Malibu to the sidelines in
the semifinals.
The unique format separated drivers in the
Footbrake and Top Eliminator divisions until the
final rounds.
