SUMMIT BRACKET RACING SERIES PRESENTED BY COMP CAMS
Race Results | March 21, 2015
 

Winner Chad Roach
Roach Wins Super Pro 
 

The Rick’s Powder Coating Super Pro class was down to two drivers, Chad Roach and Brian Anglin. Even though it was late, neither driver thought it was too late to run this last race the right way. Roach waited an extra minute in his truck for Anglin’s dragster to pull back around to the lanes.

Anglin pulled up alongside Roach, they flashed thumbs-up to each other and drove to the starting line to see who that night’s winner would be.

“We live close to one another, so it felt good that we were in the finals together,” Roach said. “We’ve raced one another several times, but it’s been a while since we’ve met this far in the bracket.”

Roach ultimately got the victory when Anglin went off the line .002 seconds too early, fouling out and handing win to Roach at the starting line. Roach’s victory lap clocked in a 7.552 seconds at 60.57 mph on an index of 6.20 seconds.

 

Winner TJ Tracy
Footbrake
 

After fighting his way through five stacked rounds of competition in the B&B Towing Foot Brake competition TJ Tracy caught a couple of fortunate breaks on his way to the victory. Tracy earned his way to a single pass in the semifinals with a spot on run in a win over Colton Chapman.

With a free pass to the finals, the only question left was who was going to face Tracey in the final: Joseph Spicer or Robo Marshall. Spicer got the win light when Marshall left too early, but he was legging out the run for lane choice in the final. Right near the finish, Spicer’s engine let go in a cloud of smoke.

Unable to make repairs in time, Tracey’s free pass to the final became a free pass in the final. All Tracy did was break the beams at the green for the win and back up from the starting line.

 

Winner Tyler Poindexter
RT Turbines Junior Dragster  
 
Tyler Poindexter of Millington went the buyback route to his win in the RT Turbines Junior Dragster division. He fouled out in the first round, but bounced back with three solid runs before clocking in an 8.239 second pass at 72.17 mph on a 8.18 index to get the victory over Chris Huff, who broke out with a 7.936 at 83.62 mph on a 7.96 index.

Winner Jeremy Avent
7.0 Heads Up
 
A big advantage off the starting line was important for Jeremy  Avent in the 7.0 class. His reaction time of .007 seconds was important in his hole shot win over David Smith. Avent finished in 7.085 at 93.50 mph which wasn’t as quick at Smith’s 7.062 at 96.05, but it wasn’t quick enough to overcome his slower .031 light.

Winner Steve Wilson
6.0 Heads Up 

Steve Wilson got things started with a win over Caffey Broadus in the 6.0 competition. Wilson cut a .005 second light and cruised to a win when Broadus broke out. Wilson crossed the line in 6.024 at 114.13 mph. Broadus came in under the index time with a 5.997 at 114.39.

 

Winner Cliff Hubbard
RT Turbines DOT Street
 
Cliff Hubbard won a close final with Todd Berry in RT Turbines DOT Street. Hubbard gave up a little time at the starting line but ran a 14.720 at 88.82 mph on a 14.71 index to cross the finish line first against Berry’s 10.791 at 112.81 mph on a 10.72 index. 
 
Top ET
 
Buddy Ferrell got the win when his opponent Preston Davis broke out on the 7.95 second index. Ferrell crossed the finish in 8.029 at 146.99 mph. Davis had a little too much horsepower in his front engine dragster finishing in 7.246 seconds at 174.32 mph
