It was a huge weekend of action at the dragway over the weekend! A fantastic forecast brought out 193 entries out for the second event of the season. A busy schedule included the Atlantic Stock/Superstock series and The Atlantic Pro Tree Series on Saturday and then round one of the ADRA series on Sunday.
Here are the results of Saturday’s action:
We wanted to advise racers of a couple of things before this weekend’s racing.
Due to recent changes in security measures and a new group running the Airport, we are not able to allow parking on the asphalt of the main apron of the Airport until after 6:00 pm on Thursday. The main apron encompasses the large paved area from the hangars to the Airport Terminal building. Pit areas that the NSDRA has created are available for parking once somebody arrives to open the gates to the Airport. Please do not park right up against the gates if you arrive early, as the gates swing out.
This going to be a busy weekend at Greenfield Dragway as we have the Atlantic Canada Stock Superstock Association, Atlantic Canada Pro-Tree and the ADRA’s Sport Compact Saturday groups all running programs on Saturday.
To that end, we are advising racers that there will be no double-dipping (aka running two classes) during the racing Saturday afternoon. We will run 1 round of the Stock/Superstock and Pro-Tree series before we begin the Gamblers races for the day. Round 1 losers of the Stock/Superstock and Pro-Tree series will be permitted to enter a Gamblers race of their choice.
The weather is looking good, so let’s have a fun and safe weekend of racing.
It was a great season opener at the dragway! A good forecast brought a total of 132 entries out for the first event of the season. Time trials ran from 6pm to dusk with a couple hundred passes made to blow the dust off.
In Saturday gambler’s race action Tony MacNeil from Scotch Village picked-up the win in the Box category by defeating Kevin King in the final. No Box saw Vaughn Boone up-end David Joudrey’s Nova for the victory; while Kale Johnson’s “Temper Tantrum” beat Lacey Weir in Junior Dragster action.
Sunday’s program featured 28 Super Pro, 40 Pro, 15 Sportsman, 6 Sport Compact, 9 Bike /Sled and 4 Junior Dragster entries. Here are Sunday’s eliminator results:
