Brett Harris Sweeps 2008 March Meet

Jack Harris Racing - Kaysville, Utah: March 06-08 - Brett Harris and the Nitro Thunder Racing team put on a clinic on how to win a drag race during the 51st March Meet at Bakersfield. After a miscue on a slippery track on Friday, Harris then qualified #1 on Saturday with a 5.692 at 251.32. He went on to leave first and have low ET every race during eliminations.... not one mistake in four rounds of racing.

"It was daja vu all over again. Seriously, it could have been 1966, 1972 or even 2008 as perfect weather, packed stands and incredible drag racing competition all added up to another wildly successful March Meet. And speaking of 2008, the 2009 winner was certainly familiar when the Harris family continuing its winning ways as Brett Harris took the Nostalgia Top Fuel title in convincing fashion." said Bakersfield PR Director Bill Groak.

Brett and his father, Jack, have dominated the Nostalgia Top Fuel competition at the March Meet this decade winning five time including the last three years. Brett won it in 2007, Jack in '08 and Brett kept it going in '09 by beating Rick White of San Diego in the final thus taking an early lead for the 2009 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series championship.

In the final (a repeat pair-up of the 2008 CHRR) Harris ran a 5.67 (263.77 mph) to White's 5.68 (259.36 mph). It was a career best ET and speed for White and the quickest NTF race in history. Harris also claimed the low ET (5.65) and top speed (263.77 mph) during the three-day event.
