PRO STOCK

The Summit Racing Equipment Camaros of Jason Line and Greg Anderson continue to dominate in the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. Line took the win at Las Vegas and remains the Pro Stock Points leader.

On his way to the finals Line defeated Matt Hartford (6.708/206.04 to 6.793/202.97), Chris McGaha (6.747/205.38 to 6.750/205.29), Erica Enders (6.737/205.22 to 6.801/204.82) and Bo Butner.

Butner turned on the red light, handing Line the final-round win.

“This is a great start to the year. We've never had a start this good, even back in the heyday. It feels really, really good,” said Line.

Enders, winner of four consecutive races in Las Vegas, clearly had her best weekend since her Elite Motorsports team switched to Dodge in the off-season. She qualified a season-high fifth, and when she turned on the win light in the first round against Aaron Strong, it ended a tough start to the season.

Strong red-lit, but Enders would have been tough to beat with a .009 light and a pass of 6.767 seconds at 204.42 mph.

The second round didn't go off without a hitch, as the engine cut off before Enders staged. Still, Enders restarted it and then had a .006-second reaction time that helped her beat Elite teammate Drew Skillman. He had the quicker elapsed time, 6.807 seconds at 204.01 mph, but Enders' lead on the starting line was enough for her 6.845-second pass at 204.70 mph to get the win.

"The car shut off," Enders said. "That's the same thing that happened a couple of weeks ago. This time, thankfully, we were able to remain a little bit calm because we knew exactly what was going on. The car re-fired right away."

Enders and her team were able to laugh it off later in the day.

"We had a little bit of a fireball come out of the right header and burn all the leg hair off one of my guys," Enders said. "We replayed it in slo-mo about 37 times for all our team, and we got a good laugh out of it."

Enders was back to her quick Reaction Times as she ripped off a .009-second reaction time in the first round, then won on a holeshot in the second round with a .006 light before a .021 light in the semi's.

"I knew today was going to be a left-foot day," Enders said, referring to her clutch foot. "That was the only way we were going to go some rounds. Unfortunately, I missed it a little bit against Jason (Line in the semifinals); I knew that when I un-clutched it."
