Jason Collins wrapped up the Elite Motorsports Pro Stock Ironman with a similar weekend to Commisso, taking the pole on Friday en route to a clean run through the elimination ladder.

In an all-Cobalt final, Collins claimed the victory with a pass of 6.354 at 221.16 mph against John Montecalvo, who turned in a time of 6.365 at 221.84 mph.

“We had transmission trouble and we worked and worked on it and we thought we had it fixed for the third round and we just got really lucky,” Collins said. “The guy we ran had trouble and we were able to get by in that round. For the final we managed to get a transmission from Team Aruba and we put it in and things went well from there. I think we were a little too soft in the finals, but we were just trying to get down the racetrack.

“You can go from hero to zero in no time in this class. We are going to go to the next race and go out and try to win it and we will let the chips fall as they may.”

One of the most competitive classes of the weekend came in the Elite Motorsports Pro Stock ranks as nearly every run down the track went to the wire.

Collins reached the PS finals with a win over Mark Martino (Stoney Creek, Ont.), one of the weekend’s big surprises. But Martino’s nice weekend came to a close in the semis as he simply never got going and Collins cruised to the win on a 6.536 at 214.01 mph.

Montecalvo defeated Cary Goforth (Holdenville, Okla.) in semi-finals when Goforth red-lighted. Montecalvo ran a 6.355 at 221.49 mph.

In the quarters it was Martino over Cale Aronson, Goforth over Frank Gugliotta and Montecalvo in an upset victory over defending Pro Stock world champion and No. 2 qualifier Pete Berner. Fourteen cars made the Pro Stock field.

The IHRA added an extra class to the lineup this weekend. There were seven cars competing in Outlaw Pro Modified.

Opelousas, Louisiana, native Bill Doucet came away with the win, edging another Louisiana product in Joseph Palmisand (Abita Springs) in the final with a pass of 4.111 at 189.42 mph in the eighth mile.

Doucet reached the finals with a win over Shawn Davis (Lake Charles, La.) with a pass of 4.822 at 128.24 mph and Palmisand defeated Danny Rowe (Laguna Hills, Calif.) with a pass of 4.290 at 170.51 mph.
