In Nitro Harley Steve Dorn, from Milwaukie, Ore., made it four-for-four for Americans at the Ontario track with a win over Jay Turner. Dorn struggled in round one, but managed to squeak by a struggling Randal Andras. In the final Dorn finally found his groove and blasted down the quarter-mile with a 6.519/211.79 to Turner’s 7.544/121.14.

In the Nitro Harley consolation round Tracy Kile defeated Andras.

Perhaps the biggest feat of the event, however, was by Jacob Elrod. The Ohio native won three different classes at one event for the first time in IHRA history, claiming Rick Stroud (QR), Kevin Orr (HR) and Dan Morgan (TOP ET) as his victims. The win also earns Elrod two tickets to the Tournament of Champions at Memphis International Raceway in October.

The Pro Mod Racing Association (PMRA) was also in action at this event. >> Check out the results are in a separate race report
