It lacked its usual quantity of high-speed Harley-Davidsons, but there was no shortage of quality in Sunday’s third annual Screamin’ Eagle Performance Parts Spring Nitro Nationals at Rockingham Dragway.
The highlight of the two-day, two-wheel speed-fest was a classic final round battle for the Top Fuel championship between |
reigning All-Harley Drag Racing Association champion Douglas Horne and No. 1 qualifier Tommy Grimes of Pfafftown, N.C.
Horne, the 23-year-old phenom from Aberdeen, Md., used the narrowest of starting line advantages (.016 to .028) to beat Grimes to the finish by just .012 of a second in a race in which both...

NALL
WINS TOP E.T. AT
ROCKINGHAM ‘MOPARS
AT THE ROCK’ RACE
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
The old adage
“he who lives by
the sword, dies
by the sword”
could applied to
the
determination of
the Top
Eliminator
Champion
Saturday in the
17th annual
Mopars at the
Rock drag race
and car show at
Rockingham
Dragway.
The starting
line skills that
served Stanley’s
Billy Varner III
so well
in the early
rounds of the
all-Chrysler
event, betrayed
him in the
final where he
was guilty of a
foul start that
handed the title
to Eagle
Springs’ veteran
Barry Nall. |
|
|
|
Varney had
forced his dad,
Billy Varner
Jr., into a
breakout foul in
the quarter
finals with a
.015 of a second
reaction time
and had done the
same to
Fayetteville’s
Tim Davis...

CAROLINA
COALITION SERIES
RESURRECTED; WILL
PAY YEAR-END BONUS
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
|
The
Carolina
Coalition,
which
for
years
provided
a
competitive,
family
friendly
environment
for
grass
roots
racers
across
the
Southeast,
will
return
this
year
with
an
eight-race
bracket
series
that
begins
with
a
two-day
opener
at
Farmington
Dragway,
April
21-22.
The
series,
which
will
crown
champions
in
Top
Eliminator
and
Footbrake
classes
on
an
accumulative
points
basis,
will
also
include
races
at
Mooresville
Dragway
(June
9-10),
Piedmont
Dragway
(Aug.
25-26)
and
Rockingham
Dragway
(Sept.
8-9). |

“I
think
the
initial
series
went
away
because
of
the
lure
of
big
money
bracket
races
that
popped
up
all
over
the
country
for
awhile.
It
was
just
the
trend,”
said
Rockingham
owner
Steve
Earwood.
“When
those
races
ran
against
our
Coalition
races,
you
just
couldn’t
get
enough
participation
to
support
the
investment.
“Now,
the
pendulum
has
swung
back
the
other
way,”
Earwood
said.
“We’ve
been
talking
to
our
bracket
racers
and
they’re
just
looking
for
somewhere
to
race.
Racers
want
to
run
for
a
championship,
without
a
lot
of
travel,
in a
family
oriented
series.
“As
track
operators,
it’s
exciting
because
everything
we
do
feeds
off
a
strong
grassroots
program,”
Earwood
said.
Daily
Top
Eliminator
winners
will
earn
a
$3,000
share
of
the
weekend
purse;
Footbrake
winners
will
earn
$2,000.
Champions
also
will
be
crowned
in
Junior
Dragster.
Drivers
will
earn
three
points
for
each
race
they
enter
(a
total
of
six
at
each
Coalition
event)
and
one
point
for
each
round
they
win.
A
four-point
bonus
will
be
awarded
to
those
who
compete
in
all
four
Coalition
weekends.
Supported
by
Hoosier
Racing
Tires,
the
year-end
bonus
fund
will
pay
$1,500
to
the
Top
Eliminator
and
Footbrake
champions;
$400
to
the
runners-up
and
$300,
$200
and
$100
to
the
next
three
finishers,
respectively.
