Summit E.T. Racing Series - June 17

Musolino, Doss, Wuest & Carr Headline Pro Wins
June 17 - Sunday was our annual NHRA New York State Championship race where winners received NHRA "Wally" plaques in addition to the normal class payouts. So now points race #2 is in the books and it was a hot one that saw Kevin Wuest take his '81 Polaris to a double win in Pro MX and Bike/Sled Trophy. Here's how the final rounds shook out and the boxscores below.

Super Pro
The Super Pro final saw Vince Musolino better his runner-up finish last weekend to defeat Chrissy Klein in a close one in a virtual dead heat with both drivers posting .036 packages! Vince took a .014 to .017 starting line advantage and chased Chrissy down by running a 4.492 at 155.76 mph pass on his 4.47 dial-in to take the win by a razor-thin .0008 MOV! Chrissy drove her new dragster to a 4.979 on her 4.96 dial. Mike Thomas made it to the semis.

Pro
Myles Higby had Steve Doss dead-to-rights when he slapped a .003 to .028 reaction time advantage, but he took too much finish line and broke out with a .010-under 9.870 at 138.05 mph handing the win over to Steve. Steve ran a solid 10.319 at 121.28 mph pass on his 10.30 dial-in in his winning effort. Scott Smith was the lone semifinalist.

Pro MX
Pro MX action saw Kevin Wuest ride his '81 Polaris to the win over a red-lighting Jim Collins. Kevin drove to a .038-initiated 10.674 on his 10.64 dial-in while Jim ran it out to a 8.707 on his 8.68 dial. Heath Smith and Dan Kirkby were the semifinalists.

Street Money
Nicholas Carr won the Street Money final over Clarence Spadey who had it won at the start, but his trusty Corolla fell off his 17.88 dial-in and ran a 18.497 opening the door for Nick to drive around him for the win. Nicholas drove his '99 Firebird to an 11.495 at 103.23 mph pass on his 11.43 dial. Larry Backus and Tyler Spiarek made it to the semis.

Pro Stick
Larry Carasea drove his immaculate '69 Camaro to the Pro Stick win over Doral Short who was driving his '95 Mustang. Larry held a .042 to .061 r.t. advantage and caught Doral at top end running a 9.633 on his 9.58 dial-in. Doral drove to an 11.798 on his 11.76 dial in his runner-up pass. Tim LaRose was the lone semifinalist.

Modified
Steve Searles took the Modified win over Don Austin. It was essentially over at the start when Steve posted a .017 to .108 reaction time advantage as both drivers ran close to their dial-ins. Bill Bedell and Dave Hubbard drove to a semifinal finishes.

Street Trophy
Steve English got the Trophy win over Crystal Powers. Bill Coon drove to a semifinal finish.

Bike/Sled Trophy
Kevin Wuest defeated Wendy Eastman for his first final round win of the day. Sudsy Eastman was the semifinalist.

Jr. Dragster
Brooke Adams got the Jr. Dragster win over Jazmyne Short when her .029 to .050 reaction time advantage bought her just enough real estate at the top to cruise to a .001 MOV. Jazmyne ran her number with a 8.144, but just couldn't hold off Brooke and settled for the runner-up finish. Natalie Musolino made it to the semis.

That wraps it up for today's action, we'll see you next Sunday.
