FREE CHASSISWORKS/TEAM SACRAMENTO T-SHIRT TO ALL TEAM MEMBERS STARTING JANUARY 1, 2012 (limited supply)
The 2012 NHRA/Summit ET finals will be September 26-30 at Famoso Raceway.
With Northern California nestled below a protective dome of high pressure, Sacramento Raceway Park’s immensely popular New Year’s Day Drags kicked off the track’s 2012 season under a beautiful blue sky. A shirt sleeved crowd of fans were treated to plenty of thrilling and tightly contested racing as close to 200 sportsman competitors showed up to duke it out in Super Pro, Pro ET, Sportsman, Street, and Motorcycle classes. It was also race number one at Sacramento Raceway for those racers participating in the Summit E.T. Racing Series. Indexes for the classes are 7.00-11.99 for Super Pro; 10.00-13.99 for Pro; 12.00-19.99 for Sportsman; and, 7.50-15.99 for Super Pro Motorcycle. Last year, Steve Parrish of Richmond represented Sacramento Raceway (and Division 7) at the national finals held at the Auto Club Raceway in Pomona. For the New Year’s Day Drags, a purse of $4000 was up for grabs. Therefore, it was no surprise that some of the competitors looked a little edgy by the time it got around to the final rounds. Of the five classes contested, red lights settled two final rounds, and another was decided by the break out rule. Fair Oaks’ Ashley Barnes won Street with her hot pink ’71 Plymouth Scamp despite breaking out as a fidgety Scott Frick triggered a red bulb with his 2002 ‘Vette. Jesse Adams, no stranger to the winner’s circle, started his year with a victory in Pro ET when Danny Cole squeezed the gas pedal a little early, too. In Motorcycle, both finalists hit their dial-ins dead on, but Craig Holsey prevailed over Michael O’Neil with a superior reaction time. The last round of Sportsman was an equally tense affair. Chad Walker, locked in to his 13.32 dial in with his ’85 Chevy truck, saw the $400 pay out end up in Leslie Freeman’s pocket when he broke out with a 13.31. For her part, Freeman was right on with a 12.149 on a 12.10 dial in. No less exciting was the Super Pro final. In that race, Mike Brundage drove his ’01 Sarmento dragster to a win over Dennis Paz with a .002margin of victory.
