Results for Final Round
POMONA, Calif. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of final, round 4 eliminations in Top Alcohol Dragster at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 43rd annual K&N Filters Winternationals:
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Tony Bartone (Roger Dean Racing A/FD) 0.039 5.262 266.74
(L) Morgan Lucas (Lucas Oil A/FD) 0.016 5.292 273.05
Just a quick note about Bartone. He became the first driver in history to hold the national ET records in both Alcohol Dragster and Alcohol Funny Car. Never been done before today. Amazing again. Bartone takes the win in the quickest side by side Alcohol Dragster in history and man was it close. Tony Bartone's MOV: 0.0078 seconds (approximately 3 feet). Lucas took the lead at the start and held it until about 1000 feet into the run. Bartone accomplished this with at least one hole out.
JUST THOUGHT I WOULD POST THIS FOR ANYONE WHO DID'NT KNOW YET.... devil devil devil

The NHRA rigs started rolling into Phoenix yesterday. Man, talk about bling-bling!

[WILDERTHANU54]

Top Alcohol Dragster, Tony Bartone, who set the national e.t. record at 5.22 in the semifinals, backed up by an earlier 5.25, defeated Morgan Lucas in a thrilling 5.26 to 5.29 final round. Bartone also still holds the national record in Top Alcohol Funny Car, set two and half years ago when he was competing in that class.

I GOT A CHANCE TO MEET AND TALK WITH TONY FOR A WHILE. HE'S A FIRST CLASS GUY. I FOUND MYSELF GETTING MORE INVOLVED IN THE ALCOHOL DEALS THAN EVER!!

Is that an injected nitro car?

[WILDERTHANU54]

YES, THE NATURALLY ASPIRATED MOTORS GET TO RUN NITRO RATHER THAN METHANOL.
