As the
point’s series at Northeast Dragway continues to heat up, drivers are already
battling for the top spot. Each division has already had multiple leaders since
the season got underway.
On
Saturday, Edenton’s Joel Moreland went all rounds putting his dragster in the
winner circle in the TOP ET Class.
“It’s
been a while since I’ve made my way back into the winner’s circle,” Moreland
said. “The best part of the night was having both my parents here. My dad and I
have been racing cars since I was a young boy. We build ’em together and
race ’em together. My mom puts up with a lot of late nights with us
staying out in the garage into the late hours. And today I’m happy that she was
here to see me take the big win.”
Other
winners included: Bill Haskell (modified), Sharon Smith (street class) and Noah
Siebert (junior dragster).
This
Saturday, Chris Cox of Speed Oasis will present the Double Deuce Shoot Out.
Money and trophies will be awarded in all TOP ET, Modified, Street, and the
5.90 Index classes, with a Pro Tree Bracket Race added.
Gates
open at 11 a.m., time runs start at 1 p.m. with the rain date set for Sunday.
