Wow!!! What an aboslutely awesome event on an awesome day! Huge thanks to the 42 Terminators that took part in this event, as well as the 83 spectators that came to enjoy the show. This event was the largest single Terminator drag racing event in history! MIR did a great job as hosts and there were tons of personal bests on a track that was hooking all day long on a day where the DA was under zero until 9:30am!
In the Eaton Class of 20 participants, Larry Pfannkauche (F8LSNAKE) from Warner Robins, GE defeated Justin Tolbert (CobraStruck) of Rural Hall, NC in a great final. Larry, who is the reigning "Eaton King", was super consistent all day, ran a best of 10.56 @ 128.43, while Justin's best for the day was a new all time 6 spd/IRS non-nitrous record with his 10.69 @ 128.68 mph.
In the Open Class of 7 participants, MACA's own JR Lewis put on quite a show and defeated Jack Brecht (Cobra2706) from Mantua, NJ in the final. JR had a best of 8.726 @ 154.09 while Jack hit a 10.213 @ 130.27.
In the Bracket Class of 14 participants, we had an all-MACA final with Dominick Palmucci (CobraDom) defeating Jeff Fontaine (CobraCleric) in unusual fashion......both racers redlighted on the final, but Dom didn't redlight by quite as much as Jeff! Congrats to both for a great job!
Other notables:
- JR's run of 8.726 @ 154.09 further lowered his all time non-nitrous twin screw record that he had previously set last weekend at Mason Dixon.
- jeremiahhussey from Robbins, NC became the 4th Terminator in history to run 9's with a 6 speed/IRS setup with his 9.95 @ 141 effort. He joins MACA's own Ken Tingle and Tommy Godfrey, along with Jay Knott from Strictly Performance in this elite group.
- Justin Tolbert (CobraStruck) set a new all time 6 spd/IRS non-nitrous record with his 10.69 @ 128.68 mph. Incredible efforts all day long from Justin and he also hit a 10.22 on nitrous.
- Carlos Marroquin (Snakesvt04) jumped to 4th place on the Terminator all time Convertible ET list with his 10.064 @ 135.61 run.
- MACA's Austin Murtha (NOXCUSES) set a personal record with his 10.518 @ 130.10 pass.
