Nitro Harley kept the excitement alive as Mike Scott, representing the small town of Blind Bay in British Columbia, defeated teammate Randal Andras in the finals of the nitro-powered Harley Davidson class. From the second spot on the ladder, Scott overcame a slight holeshot to take the win with a 6.449 pass at 207.72 mph, just ahead of Andras' slowing 6.767, 211.46 run.

Scott had wins over Alvin Kobernusz and local favorite Mark Cox on his way to the final.

Ron Maroney and Marisha Falk wrapped up the professional competition with wins in Nitro Altered and Jet Dragster respectively, bringing the thrilling return of the IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series to Rockingham Dragway to a close.

Maroney, behind the wheel of the "Blind Faith" nostalgia machine, bested Shane Harter in "Nasty Benjamin" in the Chicago-style elimination with a 6.319, 215.44 as Harter broke on the line.

Falk, on the other hand, won her third Ironman of the season in a thriller in the finals of Jet Dragster, besting teammate and birthday girl Dawn Perdue. The top qualifier out of Port Orange, Florida drove the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University jet-powered dragster to a 5.703, 275.28 pass to edge Perdue's 5.765, 271.08.

The IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series will be back in action June 13-14 at the IHRA Nitro Jam President's Cup Nationals at Maryland International Raceway.
