Reigning NHRA
World Champion
Rickie Smith
drove his
nitrous
oxide-boosted
2013 Chevy
Camaro past the
1968 Camaro of
No. 1 qualifier
Matt Suite in
the final round
Sunday to win
the Pro Modified
championship at
the Dieffenbach
Super Chevy Show
at Rockingham
Dragway,
presented by the
Richmond County
Tourism
Authority.
Smith, the
veteran from
King, N.C., who
won two IHRA
Super Modified
titles and five
Pro Stock titles
before making
the switch to
Pro Mod, saved
his best for
last Sunday,
covering the
eighth mile
course in 3.937
seconds at
194.24 miles per
hour on a solo
pass when his
opponent, Matt
Suite from
Hughesville,
Md., was unable
to repair his
Steve Vick owned
machine after
damaging the
engine in the
semi-finals.
In addition to
celebrating all
things General
Motors, the
three-day event
also featured
Danny ODay and
the worlds
fastest
wheelstander,
Rockingham
resident Terry
Rosberg and
American
Thunder, the
words only
jet-powered 1941
Willys coupe,
and the Gear
Jammers circuit.
Lee Desist and
Art Laselle,
both of
Fayetteville,
swept the
bracket titles
Sunday after
cold weather
forced track
owner Steve
Earwood to
suspend racing
Saturday night
and split the
money between
those still in
competition.
Desist drove his
1967 Camaro past
the Chevy Luv
truck of Eddie
Key of Red
Springs to claim
Top Eliminator
Sunday and
Laselle turned
back Clayton
Roberts of
Willow Springs
to win
Footbrake.
The girls ruled
in Jr. Dragster
with Kimberly
Dawn Messer of
Four Oaks
winning Sunday
after Lauren
Edwards of
Maysville
prevailed on
Saturday. Justin
West of Dunn
beat Samantha
Thomas of
Fairmont to win
the D.O.T. title
and Tim Mortin
of Fort Mill,
S.C., was
unopposed in the
Gen 5 class.
