RACEWAY PARK
MISSION, B.C. - Although the start of eliminations was delayed by
rain in the morning, Mission Raceway Park's Lordco Auto Parts BC Nationals,
a round of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, is in the books. Top
Alcohol Dragster (TAD) driver Steve Federlin and Top Alcohol Funny Car
(TAFC) pilot John Weaver each earned their first wins of the season.
Federlin, an Oregon City, Ore., resident, beat Mark Hentges of
Federal Way, Wash., in the final with a 5.422-second, 262.92 mph pass.
Hentges had been on top of his game all day, making runs in the 5.3-second
range but in the final round he broke right off the starting line. In the
semifinal round Federlin beat No. 1 qualifier Mitch Myers.
In TAFC, Weaver, of Orting, Wash., ran 5.763 seconds at 247.18 mph.
His run was more than enough to go around Thompson's 7.339-second, 133.74
mph run.
In Super Comp, Adam Drzayich of Auburn, Wash., scored his second
win in as many races. The winner in Comp Eliminator was Gary Anderson of
Graham, Wash., and the Super Stock winner was Brush Prairie, Wash., racer
Sean Cour who won this event a year ago. In Stock Eliminator Sean Kennedy,
Belleview, Wash., took the win while in Super Gas Mike Coltrin, Star,
Idaho, went to the winner's circle. Super Street racer Jeff Jackson,
Wilsonville, Ore., earned his first win of the year as did Dave Jackson,
Poulsbo, Wash., in Top Comp and Brett Hordemann, Spokane, Wash., in Kerker
Motorcycle.
Northwest Division racers head to Woodburn Dragstrip in Oregon for
the next NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event, June 11-13.
