It's a Wrap

In what has been dubbed the �All Star Nationals,� both NMCA and NMRA racers converged upon one of the nicest tracks in the country, Charlotte North Carolina�s zMAX Dragway. Despite being a hot and humid weekend, the racing action was off the chain.

In Scorpion Performance Pro Street it was an intense battle between two of the class� quickest, Vinny Budano and Troy Coughlin. Budano topped the field with a 6.36 at 223 mph and got all the way to finals to face the Jegs Racing team. Coughlin, who had to take out some top players on his side of the ladder made it to the finals (He took out Rick Blaisdell in the first round, then Chris Rini in the finals with a killer 6.38, then a 6.46 to beat Rick Fleck on his way to face Budano in the finals. In one of the closest races of the weekend, Coughlin left with a .050 as Budano reacted with a .080. In the end, Coughlin got the win with a 6.433 to Budano�s 6.438.

The NMCA�s Outlaw 10.5W class Mickey Thompson Super Street, Jim Blair managed to bookend the weekend by qualifying number one with a 6.84 and the getting through a tough field of racecars. In the first round, Blair got a bye run, then he was able to advance over a red-lighting Frank Mewshaw, which was enough to put him the finals to face Tony Nesbitt. Team Midnight�s Tony Nesbitt also had a fairly easy trip to the finals. After advancing over newcomer JW Kinzer, he ripped a 7.02 to match Blair�s nearly identical 7.02 gojng into the finals. In an odd final round, Nesbitt left on Blair big time, but then ran into some major problems. Blair then was able to speed past Nesbitt for the win.

ARP Nostalgia Pro Street drew a total of ten big tire racecars looking to get the glory at zMAX, but the two that were able to get it done on Sunday were Danny Shemwell and Kevin Parent, two racers that choose the 525 cubic inch combinations. After taking out Mitch Mika with a 7.58, then Bucaro with a 7.55, Parent had a bye run into the finals to face the flat black machine of Shemwell. Although Parent nailed the tree with a .013, Shemwell�s ride busted a better 60 ft time, and managed to stay ahead of parent for the win, 7.57 to 7.68.
