Drake & Drake Share Spotlight with Wins at the F.X. Caprara Trailer Sales 10K Bracket Bash

We had a beautiful day for racing as we hosted the F.X. Caprara 10K Bracket Bash along with a Gamblers race. In the 10k race it was Carl Drake Jr. successfully defending his 10k win from last year as he scored the win by defeating James Smith Jr. CJ, who almost always drives his Chevy powered dragster, also entered his father's Nova in this race which allowed double entries. James Smith Jr. was in his familiar Mike Bos built Chevy powered dragster. Both drivers drove well all day long cutting great lights and running their dials while going through seven tough rounds of competition to earn their spot in the final round and a shot at the 10 Grand.

DeSalvo, BeDell, Bingel Hoist Jr. Shootout Wallys

July 22 - Sunday's event concluded 2 days worth of high intensity, big payout bracket racing action which included the 10K to Win F.X. Caprara Bracket Bash on Saturday. Sunday's event was a regular Summit Racing E.T. Racing Series with the exception of Super Pro and a couple special classes added for the Jr.s and the Susan Koman Draggin for a Cure class. Here's a recap on Sunday's winners.

Super Pro
The Super Pro class ran a special $2,000 to Win, 1/8th mile, non-points event and it was Bob Belvick taking measure of Josh Speck in the final for the big payday. Bob won the final on the line as his .523 to .554 starting line advantage was more than enough to cover Josh at the top end stripe. Both drivers nailed their dial-ins, each going .001-over with Bob running a 5.001 at 137.13 mph to Josh's 4.961 at 144.21 mph. Some awesome driving in the Super Pro final! Carl Drake Jr. almost had to rent a Brink's truck for the tow home as he fell 2 round wins short of an extremely profitable weekend at the strip!
