Woodburn Dragstrip Results, September 5, 2009

Regnier, Oien, Jackman, and Bromley take wins at the NHRA Division 6 Summit ET Race of Champions on September 5, 2009.  Each has earned the opportunity to race at the National Championship at Pomona in November.

Super Pro winner, David Regnier, from Bend, OR strapped a .002 light on Kent, WA’s Lloyd York and ran his number with a 4 to score a .006 package in the victory.  York had a stellar .007 reaction time, but it was definitely Regnier’s day as his 66 Nova was nearly perfect.  Regnier was racing for Madras while York is a member of Pacific Raceway’s contingent.

Pro was represented by two Spokane finalists.  Dave Oien earned the victory with his 66 Cornet as he benefited by the red-light start from his competitor, Eric Wolfe.  Wolfe’s Fairlane was red by .004.

Sportsman racer, Martin Jackman, from Eagle Motorplex in British Columbia was another  beneficiary of a red-light start, when Medicine Hat, Alberta  racer, Ted Buzynis went red.  Jackman completed his run in 12.915 seconds at 93 mph to take the victory in the all-Canadian final.

Pacific Raceway’s Kevin Bromeley took the win in Bike/Sled over Woodburn Dragstrip’s Roger Wolff in a double breakout finish.  Bromley dialed 9.80 and ran 9.782 to Wolff who dialed 9.56 and ran 9.529.
