These winners outlasted the rest:

Sportsman: Bobby Burkevics ran closer to his dial than Brian Thompson to get the win
High School: Ryder Biscay took out Justin Vest
PRO: been a year since Richard Smith got a win, this time over Rob Lindley
Super Pro: in a battle of the dragster’s Terry Wilcox edged Mark Campbell
Motorcycle: Scott McCleod took his number 7 spot to stop the number 1 Qfy. Jim Funderburg
Non-Electronics: Jeremy Sears beat Justin Vest
Electronics: Don Paine gained the win over Norm Braedt

Combining events is nothing new. Take out modern devices and go back to “old school” and see what comes. Such is the case with the John Kilroy Footbrake Race. Two hands on the wheel, “no electronics” shove the brake as hard as you can and stab the gas to go. Nothing to help you stay put on the line or count down with the tree to get you going. This will test you and your skills as they were done back in the day. Take 43 driver’s and their foot timing, together with a dial-in and see who can put it together seven times. Here is your winner and the class winner’s:  (Click here for Images in The Gallery.)

WINNERS

With good weather for the weekend, Friday was for test and tune, and two days of racing events were also on the docket. The Chance to earn a NHRA “WALLY” trophy brought in many who will travel many miles just for the chance. If you win the first race you are playing on house money, but to double up brings in big bucks, not to mention the trophy/trophy’s.

In other action Dennis Boley went thru the process of earning a S/C or ET’s Super Pro liscense, by running the times required to do so. Good job Dennis, though I bet the beating the car gave you will not be soon forgotten. Head snapping to say the least.

The weekends racing began with Mike Gitting and his Division 6 crew prepairing the tracks surface. With tempatures rising and the surface getting hotter keeping the track prepped was a real challenge. Good job Mike.

Do not forget the food offered at Bremerton Raceway –  They were busy with breakfast,lunch and a drink stand that has “hot of cold” with an eagerness towards the cold in the hot weather.
