SMITH COMPLETES
PRO NITROUS SWEEP AT
ROCKINGHAM
Scruggs, Salemi,
Wilburn Also Get
Wins at PDRA’s
Dragstock XII Event
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. –
Carolina’s own
“Tricky Rickie”
Smith completed a
sweep of the Pro
Nitrous events on
his home track
Saturday, beating
Chris Rini of
Carmel, N.Y., in the
final round to win
Dragstock XII at
Rockingham Dragway
and extend his lead
in the PDRA Series.
Smith, the veteran
from King, N.C.,
shared the winners’
circle with Jason
Scruggs of Saltillo,
Miss., who extended
his domination of
the Pro Extreme
class, rookie
Melanie Salemi of
Buffalo, N.Y., who
in just her second
start upset spring
winner Anthony
DiSomma in the Pro
Boost final; and
Chuck Wilburn of
Tupelo, Miss., who
beat giant-killer
Burke Forster of
Fort St. John,
British Columbia,
Canada in Pro
Extreme Motorcycle.
Smith, who beat
Pittsboro’s Jason
Harris to win the
spring race, saved
his best run of the
event for the final
round. Against Rini,
he stopped the
eighth mile timers
in 3.770 seconds at
198.96 miles per
hour. The New York
driver trailed at
3.828, 191.46 mph.
A five-time former
IHRA Pro Stock
champion and the
two-time reigning
NHRA Pro Modified
Champ, Smith
qualified his IDG
1968 Camaro replica
only eighth in the
16-car field but
beat Steve Jackson
of Evans, Ga., point
leader and No. 1
qualifier Tommy
Franklin of
Fredericksburg, Va.,
and fellow
Carolinian Jay Cox
of Smithfield to get
to the final.
Scruggs, who failed
to win a single PDRA
race last year
despite five No. 1
starts, won his
fifth race of the
current campaign by
stopping spring
winner Todd Tutterow
of Lewisville, N.C.,
in the money round.
Scruggs’ win may
have wrapped up the
championship
insomuch as his two
principal rivals,
teammates Badir Ahli
and Mustafa Buhumaid
of Dubai, exited in
the first round.
Salemi, a
transplanted
Canadian, became
just the second
woman to win a PDRA
race and did so in
impressive style.
The 30-year-old
blonde qualified a
1968 Pontiac built
by her
brother-in-law at
G-Force race cars
third in the field.
She then beat Joe
Baker of Milton,
Fla., Larry
Higginbotham of
Mineral Ridge, Ohio,
the popular 1941
Willys of Ric Fleck
of Lexington, S.C.,
and DiSomma, who
lost in the final
for the first time
in five appearances.
Although Wilburn won
the motorcycle
title, he got a big
assist from the man
he beat in the
final. Forster took
out point leaders
Eric McKinney of
Hamersville, Ohio,
and Chris
Garner-Jones of
Harvest, Ala., in
the second and third
rounds. McKinney and
Garner-Jones had won
six of the previous
seven races, three
each.
The eighth race in
the series drew
teams from 24
states, three
Canadian provinces
and the United Arab
Emirates, home to
both Ahli and
Buhumaid, the
principals in NAS
Racing.
