Race Report- Greenfield Dragway, August 17-18, 2013 Happy Birthday NSDRA and Greenfield Dragway! What better way to celebrate the 10th anniversary then to give away gobs of cash and eat BBQ chicken until your belly hurt…and that’s just what we did. Close to 160 entries were on the grounds under perfect skies with fantastic weather conditions all looking for a piece of the pie….and/or chicken! Mr. Keans (aka Dr. Hook & crew) gave us an awesome start line all weekend; coupled with the great air made for some low et’s. In the box eliminator category, Micheal Whynot used a first round buy-back but did not let off the pedal the rest of the way including a perfect .000 bulb in the final to defeat Doug Decker from Brooklyn, NS. Doug was not far off with an .036 but could not track Whynot down. Micheal backed-in the brinks truck and loaded on a cool $3600 for his efforts while Decker pocketed just over $900! Whynot had dumped Clayton Howatt in the semi’s giving Howatt $200 while Tim Lawrence and Brian Mansfield each grabbed $100 for their quarter final finishes. 73 entries drew in for first round of the no box category and with the buy-backs it took eight rounds to complete this marathon. When the dust finally settled it was Mill Village’s Darrin Hatt taking his S-10 to the winners circle when Charlottetown’s Bruce Howatt lit the red in the final. Hatt’s take was just over $3400 while Howatt claimed $1150 for the day. Scott Sprague from Waverley, NS red lighted away his chances in the semi to Howatt and took home $250 while Aaron Joudrey and Greg Nickerson each grabbed the $125 quarter final purses. Whynot and Hatt squared-off for the $250 King of the Hill bonus complements of Valley Tire with Whynot collecting one more time. In Sport Compact, Chester’s Robert Tanner took out Jake Chaisson to claim the winner take all final. In junior dragster two eliminators were run on the day, co-sponsored by Kevin Lively Jr. Trucking and Cottman Transmission. In race one it was rookie Carson Nauffts taking top spot over Rebecca Lawrence with Gabby Bruhm and Ashley Walker having semi-final efforts. In race two Rebecca Lawrence just fell short again when she runner-upped to Nic Stewart from Bridgewater. Carson Nauffts and Ashley Walker were the semifinal finshers.
