ESTA TRACK E.T. RECORD RESET

Frigon Racing Does it Again

August 11 - It was supposed to be just a mundane day of testing for the Frigon Racing, Competition Wedge Engines sponsored Spitzer PTO dragster. With a bunch of off season changes, the team showed up Sunday, August 11th to do some 1/8th mile testing for their Pro Top Outlaw series and Asphalt Wars racing. After making a warm up run, the team then tested ESTA's new 330' concrete pad and the results proved favorable. Without making a single change to the car's setup, the team made two blistering 3.81 passes in a row with almost exact 190 mph speeds each pass.

Rumor has it that car sponsor, Competition Wedge Engines' Todd Tuohey "may have" had a hand in the decision to stretch it out more than 660'. After a brief team rally, car owner Bob Frigon decided to make a 1000' blast and see what it would hold. The decision was made for 1000 ft. apparently as it was still a whole new combination and they haven't "stepped on it" yet, as they say.

Doss Bags First Super Pro Win

August 11 - The 2013 Summit Racing E.T. Series resumed on Sunday under great racing conditions. Steve Doss broke into the Super Pro win column in his newly-acquired dragster when James Smith broke out in his '70 Nova. Peter DeSalvo finally shook the Street Money bridesmaid curse and ran right on his dial-in to score the win over last week's winner Tyler Bedell.

Steve Doss - Super Pro

Super Pro
Steve Doss who has been going rounds at every race scored his first Super Pro win by driving his ’98 Cressman dragster to the final round win by stopping James Smith Sr. who was in his familiar “Boss Man” ’70 Nova. James held the staring line advantage .530 to .552, but took too much stripe and broke out with a 9.129 at 145.14 mph run on his 9.14 dial while Steve ran 7.615 at 173.59 mph on his 7.60 dial for the win. Tom Belvick and Mark Leo were the semifinalists.

Super Pro
Tim Roberts with the tuning help of his wife Dawn guided his Chevy powered dragster to the top payout in Super Pro narrowly defeating Jack Vault in his Ford powered dragster. Tim used a stellar .502 reaction time to run a backed off 4.994 at 138.05 mph run on his 4.97 dial in, while Jack had to settle for the runner-up spot with a 4.736 at 145.25 mph run on his 4.73. The margin of victory for Tim was .009. Also of note this was Jack's first week back with his dragster after suffering engine damage about a month ago and he looked sharp as he ran three straight 4.73s leading up to the final round. Steve Doss continues to impress with his move into a dragster and he finished in the semi's.
