Dragway Winning Continues at US 13
Delmar, DE
Once again Mother Nature tried to interfere with our bracket weekend by causing the cancellation of the Friday night test and tune; however she didn’t stop us from completing 2 bracket races before the sun went down!
All classes received an open time run session from 10-12 and 2 qualifying runs on Saturday before heading into eliminations. Sunday, all classes received 1 time run before starting round 1 of eliminations.
