Marriott takes OFA win in Texas

Bobby Marriott drove his “Shockwave” to the win over Aaron Morrow in the final of the Outlaw Fuel Altered event Saturday night at North Star Dragway in Denton, TX.

 

Marriott was a little bit quicker on the tree (.089 to .099) and a little bit quicker down the eighth-mile track with a 3.85 to Morrow’s 3.88. 

Spring Fling finishes with win for DiMino

The last day of the K&N Spring Fling Million was held Saturday, Apr. 20, at Las Vegas with the final event awarding $30,000 to the winner.

 

The PRO38 final of footbrake cars was an all-Schmall affair with brothers Andy and Brandon going at each other with Andy taking the win back home along with the $500 bonus and advancing into round seven.

 

In the final round John Labbous, driving Anthony Bertozzi’s Super Gas car, dropped it red with former Vegas Fling winner Vinny DiMino scoring a .016 RT and a dead-on the dial with a “4” for the win.    

Pennington wins $375K at Spring Fling on Friday

Maytag/Silverstate Refrigeration Million Dollar Friday, the main event of the K&N Spring Fling Million presented by Optima Batteries, was held on Apr. 19.

 

When the first round of competition was completed almost three hours after it began, 344 entries had taken their shot at the win. According to the progressive winner’s share, someone was going to walk home at the end of the night with a $375,000 check, possibly the largest amount of money paid to date for the win of any single drag race, regardless of class.

 

The PRO38 class of footbrakers once again battled down to a final round where Andy Schmall battled Dustin Henry with Schmall getting the win. The win included a bonus of $500 and the advancement to the Super Pro round seven with the remaining Super Pro competitors.

 

Quarterfinal round winners were Shane Carr, Chris Northrop, and Peeps Pennington. The lone remaining PRO38 door car of Schmall was still hanging tough with the delay box crowd.

 

Carr used a .003 reaction time to Northrop’s .022 for the win. Then Pennington took the win while Schmall ran .004 under his dial. And with that, the final was set with former Vegas Fling winner Pennington looking for his second Fling trophy, while Carr, driving Shane Thompson’s 4.4-second car at this race, has won at just about every big money race all across the country.

 

In the final, Pennington had the reaction time advantage and held on for the win to add his name to an impressive list of Million Dollar race winners, earning a record amount of $375,000 for his efforts, taking it all the way back to Three Rivers, Texas.
