SUNDAY HIGHLIGHTS: TWO CHAMPIONS CROWNED

Everyone had high hopes for a fast-paced finish to the 39th NAPA Auto Parts Ignitor on the fourth and anticipated final day of the Division 6 Lucas Oil Drag Race Series. Qualifying was swift and intense. And eliminations started a day earlier than planned, with high hopes of finishing on Sunday. Unfortunately, the weather gods had different expectations as unseasonably wet weather overwhelmed racing activities on both Saturday and Sunday. After a reasonably good weather forecast early in the week, everything changed late in the day on the Friday. Amazingly enough, Saturday changed to an 80 % chance of rainfall, and Sunday was announced for 90%. Not the best odds, especially when you have nearly 350 racers to runoff in a multitude of categories.

By day’s end Sunday, two titles were earned. Congratulations to both Mike McLennan and Mike Fuller for winning the AA/Fuel Dragster division. Thanks to the three Top Fuel teams (including both Jim Murphy and Jack & Brett Harris) that made the tow to Boise regardless of weather, economic climate or even a conflicting race date some chose to support. In our book, all three of these teams are first class and one of the reasons we’ve long supported the Top Fuel class at our Season Opener.

We tip our hats to Jeff Lane for earning the second title of the day. Driving the Hancock & Lane Cobalt, Lane scored the Competition eliminator Wally trophy over Division 5 heavy hitter Clint Neff from Colorado. In a heck of a race, Lane edged out the very swift 4-cylinder roadster based out of Canada.

The balance of final rounds in a variety of classes will take place on Monday after wet weather reappeared on Sunday night. Eliminations are scheduled to go off starting at 9 am.
