Dave Earhart of Strathroy, Ont., missed the opening win he was looking for, but did muscle the Earhart Heating & Cooling Inc., Performance Unlimited ’02 Camaro to a really decent 217.02 mph fastest Pro Doorslammer speed of the event. Once again proving that the old Pro Mod still has what it takes to produce big numbers.

It was a crowd-pleasing opening for the National Drag Racing Association series. Rivalries were initiated and a high competition was set amongst the racers that will spell great entertainment for the rest of the season’s events.

“We were pleased that we were part of the RPM Magazine / Lucas Oil Spring Blowout presented by Mickey Thompson Tire once again this year,” said NDRA President and Operations Director, Dale Boeru. “Our Pro Doorslammer and Alcohol Funny Car drivers put on a fabulous show for the fans. I would like to thank Chris and Trish Biro, Matt from Lucas Oil and Paul and Kim Spriet of Grand Bend Motorplex for having the NDRA as part of this tremendous weekend event.”

The National Drag Racing Association heads to Toronto Motorsports Park - Cayuga Dragway on July 12-14 for the 4th Annual Canadian Nitro Nationals. There, the Pro Doorslammers and Alcohol Funny Cars will team up with the NDRA Nitro Nostalgia Funny Cars for an even better entertainment package.
