Well after a dismal season of weather out at Greenfield dragway, racers and spectators were hopeful for a great season finale…and boy did their wish come true. Other than lingering morning fog, everyone was treated to some fantastic September weather and a great show. With a total of 239 entries, 1616 runs down the 1320 and packed stands stands both days; what a finish it was!
The weekend schedule featured the annual bracket bash which was held over from the cancelled August event and the ADRA Team Race on Saturday, followed by the ADRA and Greenfield Drag Racing Series on Sunday.
NSDRA is happy to announce the details for the fifth and final event at Greenfield Dragway set for September 22-24. This has been a tough season for all tracks around the Maritimes this summer so we are anxious to end our season on a high note. Hi-lights for the upcoming race include extended time trials on Friday, the ADRA Team race AND the Annual Bracket Bash on Saturday and then the ADRA & Greenfield points race on Sunday. It’s a full slate of racing action and a great way to close out the season!
Based on available weather information the NSDRA executive feels that the probability of completing any race activities this weekend is very unlikely.
Therefore, this weekend’s (Aug. 18-20) race is CANCELED.
Plans for the Bracket Bash race are being worked on and there will be an announcement in the near future.
Race number three of the Greenfield drag race series was contested over the weekend with a total of 110 entries for the event. Friday evening time trials were rain-shortened and persistent showers delayed the start time until 1pm on Saturday.
Saturday’s action included a No Box gamblers, Box gamblers, junior gamblers and open time trials later in the afternoon. Here are the gambler results:
It was a pretty short weekend of action at the dragway with only one day of competition complete. An unfavorable forecast brought out a lower than normal vehicle count for a typical June race. Unfortunately the opening round of the Atlantic Pro Tree Series could not be contested on Saturday but round one of the ADRA series and the second NSDRA point’s race were run on Sunday.
Sunday’s program featured 42 Super Pro, 19 Pro, 14 Sportsman, 9 Bike /Sled and 5 Junior Dragster entries. Here are Sunday’s eliminator results:
