Justin Lamb raced to a rare double at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series June 9-10 at Top Gun Raceway winning in both the Comp Eliminator and the Super Gas categories.

Lamb first faced off with Aaron Kinard, San Marcos, Calif., in Super Gas and recorded a perfect reaction time in his ’68 Camaro to Kinard who left early with a foul start in his ’63 Corvette. Lamb returned to the starting line to meet up with Randy Jones in the Comp final taking the win by about 13 inches driving a ’10 Cobalt to an 8.977 second, 149.15 mph pass. Jones, Monarch Beach, Calif., clocked in at 8.905, 149.65 in his losing effort.

The Super Stock title went home to Stockton, Calif., as Dennis Paz held off Larry Scarth, Manhatten Beach, Calif., with a lap of 11.933, 111.39 mph while Larry Gilley, Hilmar, Calif., went 106.59 mph in his ’69 Dart to beat Steve Wann, Modesto, Calif., in Stock Eliminator.
