VIRGINIA RACERS DOMINATE SECOND HOLIDAY JUNIOR JAM
Drivers from 18 States Compete in Jr. Dragster
Race Shortened by Weather Issues
|
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (Dec. 1, 2019) Aspiring young
racers from Virginia took home the bulk of the
hardware Friday and Saturday before weather issues
forced officials to halt racing in the second
annual Holiday Junior Jam at Rockingham Dragway
without determining a Main Event winner.
The purse for the uncompleted Main Event which
featured junior racers from 18 states and Canada
was divided among those still in competition when
racing was suspended.
Virginia drivers won three of the seven
preliminary races including the 10-13 Age Group in
which Jorden Denny of Manassas, Va., forced
favored Carson Big Check Emmett of Cedar Bluff,
Ala., into a final round breakout foul.
Denny grabbed a narrow .017 of a second advantage
at the start and was .044 off his target at the
finish. Meanwhile, Emmett, a two-time winner of
the NHRAs Eastern Conference ET Finals (2015 and
2018) and two-time winner at Rockinghams 2018
Midwest Super Series event, went under his target
time by .010 of a second.
En route to the finals, Emmett beat Shelby Roy of
Seward, Alaska in the fourth round. Roy, Cale
Irvine of Anchorage and Braiden Owen of Palmer,
Alaska, shared long distance honors, competing in
the event for the first time.
In the 14-18 age group, Ben Spotts of
Douglassville, Pa., beat Jenna Osborne of Fort
Wayne, Ind., in the final, after Rockingham track
champion Connor Caulder of St. Pauls was ousted in
the round of five by Ryan Leasure of Niles, Ohio.
Carter Jackson of Cartersville, Va., won the 6-9
age group title on Friday and a day later Landon
Palmer of Scottsville gave Virginia its third
title when Gabe Roachford of California, Ky., was
guilty of a foul start in the 7.90 Index final
Zach Parlett of Charlotte Hall, Md., Jackson
Summers of Franklin, Ky., and Zackary Case of
Winder, Ga., won the other Index races. Parlett
forced Brandon Gallderise of Powhatan, Va., into a
breakout foul in the 8.90 final, Summers got a
narrow .017 of a second win over Georgian Corey
Reed in 11.90 and Case sped past Kole Paone of
Galloway, N.J., in 13.90.
Logan Westmoreland of Greenwood, S.C., was the
last survivor in the special Golf Cart Race that
followed Fridays regular program and attracted a
field of 91 entrants including defending Main
Event champion Samuel Peterson of Martin, Mich.,
who finished as the runner-up.
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. Results from the second annual
Holiday Junior Jam drag races before inclement
weather suspended the main event at Rockingham
Dragway. Hometowns are North Carolina unless
otherwise indicated. Results include reaction
time, track time in relation to target time and
finish line speed. Main event purse was split
among those still in competition.
