Drag Racing Results for June 23-27, 2021

Bracket eliminators, New England No Time and the All-Stars made for a hot weekend of drag racing

by Neil Van Zile

Hot weather didn’t keep anyone away from the region’s drag strips this past weekend.

Lebanon Valley Dragway had a full schedule of racing beginning with four class eliminations as part of their weekly Wednesday Street Night, although electrical issues at the top end forced the track to run the 1/8 mile. Saturday featured three ET bracket races and the first race of a double-header weekend for the All-Star Racing Association (ASRA). The track finished off the weekend with six bracket eliminators and the second ASRA race.

New England Dragway was also very busy, with a well-attended The Icebreaker, hosted by New England No Time. The event featured five NT Shootouts, and five Index classes (rumor has it that there were about 450 race cars on hand). Given the strong car count, and an unfortunate number of oil-downs, the event ran very late, but they were able to finish the eliminators. The popular Iannotti Brothers Select Cars Top Sportsman series held a double-header race on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday the track ran their VP Fuels Bracket program.

New Oxford Dragway held another round of their bracket program with the Jr. Dragsters on Friday night.

Winterport Dragway was the host of the Exiles MC Weekend and did not have any drag racing this past weekend.
