Keith Mayers (near lane) took his Porsche to the Super Street win.

The Mid Atlantic .90 Association concluded races number 7 and 8 of its 2015 season at Cecil County Dragway in northeast Maryland. At the conclusion of Saturday's (Aug. 29) time shots, Joey Cambria (Super Comp), Rich Price (Super Gas) and Kelli Barbato (Super Street) led qualifying. Once eliminations got underway it would be a mixture of new and old faces gracing the winner's circle.

In the Super Gas final, it was a battle of #1 and 2 in points as Earl Nichols Jr. and Iggie Boicesco squared off in yet another final. Nichols, out of Wilmington, Del., claimed his second victory of the year with a perfect .000 light and a 9.920 to Boicesco's break out 9.896 to extend his points lead going into Sunday's event.

In Super Comp, Bill Hardifer Jr. out of Shamong, NJ, took his W&T Pipeline Consultants S&W Dragster to victory over Race #5 runner-up, Frank Genovesi, who jumped the gun with a red light. This was Hardifer's first Super Comp victory with the series and moved him into the Top 5 in points.
