LISA THOMAS WINS PRO AT STINKER SEASON OPENER

Former 4-night Pepsi Nightfire point's champ Lisa Thomas defeated all challengers at the 5th Annual Stinker Stores Season Opener at Firebird Raceway. For the second straight day the weather was absolutely perfect, as temperatures climbed into the mid-70's under cloud free skies.

 

In the Pro eliminator final, Thomas nailed a 10.62 on a 10.62 dial at 122.16 miles per hour with her `66 Chevy II. She stopped Steve Pyburn who also recorded a dead perfect pass, running 10.43 (10.43 dial) at 125.33 mph with his `57 Ford. The race was decided at the starting line as Thomas edged Pyburn with a .039 to .070 advantage. In Super Pro, "Dynamite Dan" Lafferty was denied a second straight win in as many days, narrowly losing to Aaron Marcum. Marcum drove his `07 TNT Dragster to the $1,000 winning cash prize with a time of 7.85 (7.80 dial)-164.74. The margin of victory was just .002 of a second!

 

Quite impressive, two racers doubled up in main eliminators over the weekend. Joseph Karnes, Eagle, and Michael Jaggers, Middleton, swept Outlaw Street and Junior Thunder, respectively. In addition, Marcum was the winner of Box Gambler (Sat), along with Super Pro on the final day.

 

The Boise Muffler/Auto Body Paint & Supply Gold Cup two-day point's stop attracted better than 230 racers. In a couple of days we look forward to showing off an assortment of photos from the first Summit series race of the new season so be sure and check back.
