PRO STOCK

IHRA's most intense doorslammer rivalry continued in the sparsely attended Mountain Motor Pro Stock Eliminator as just five cars were on hand at Bradenton. The final round was a three-peat of sorts; Cary Goforth and John DeFlorian Jr., winners of the first two races this season, once again met in the final of the popular doorslammer division with Goforth picking up his second win of the year.

Goforth, from Holdenville, Okla., led the way throughout the weekend as the top qualifier and made easy work of Canadian Ford entry John Konigshofer and DeFlorian’s “Black Diamond” Chevy from St. Louis, ending with a leisurely stroll down the quarter-mile when DeFlorian went .005 red in the money round.

With the win, Goforth also retains his early points lead over DeFlorian for the 2014 IHRA Pro Stock championship.

JET DRAGSTER ELIMINATIONS

Marisha Falk defeated team captain Elaine Larsen in the jet final when Larsen went red. With the win in hand, Falk made a fantastic pass to close the evening, crossing the finish line with a 5.720, 278.03 to take her second win of the year. Falk was the fastest jet all weekend for the Larsen Motorsports quartet.

The IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series will be back in action May 2-3 at the IHRA Nitro Jam Palm Beach Nationals at Palm Beach International Raceway.
