Drag Racing Results for September 8 - 12, 2021

Volume 1 – Issue 22
For the week of September 6 – 12, 2021
by Neil Van Zile
It was a very busy weekend for drag racing in New England. The rain did end the racing early on Wednesday night at Lebanon Valley, and the cool night air on Saturday forced New England Dragway to run the late rounds of Pro and Super Pro as 1/8 mile races to keep the speeds down. Other than those two issues, the weather was perfect for racing all across the region.
The biggest story over the weekend was the crowning of seven champions in the 2021 New England Dragway VP Fuels Bracket Points Series. This was the final weekend for points in that series and most of the classes ended with the current points leader in the top spot, except for Jr. Dragster B, where Alicia Gouveia made a come-from-behind run at Kendall Willard to jump into the leader’s spot in Sunday’s eliminations.
Another major story was the emergence of the next generation of drag racing talent. A cadre of ex-Jr. Dragster drivers were in the Winner’s Circle on Saturday, and two members of the new generation, Jackson Worters, and Jared Kinson bested their elders to become champions in their respective categories.

New England Dragway ran the final two VP Fuels Bracket points races over the weekend and crowned a number of 2021 champions in the process. The .90 index classes also ran on Saturday, plus the Iannotti Bros. Select Cars Top Sportsman Series had a double-header event.

____________________
Lebanon Valley Dragway – Wednesday night’s racing ended early due to rain, but LVD hosted No Time Racing on Saturday and MOPARs in the Valley on Sunday.
____________________
New Oxford Dragway completed all six of their regularly scheduled eliminators on Friday night.
____________________
Winterport Dragway hosted the T&L Gamblers and Gassah Guys on Saturday and a round of their weekly bracket points on Sunday.
If this past weekend proved anything, it is that the next generation of drag racers are definitely a force to be contended with. At the end of racing on Saturday night at NED, four out of nine of the full-size car class winners had come up from the Jr. Dragster ranks. And by the end of the weekend, two of the new champions in the full-size car categories are part of the new generation of competitors.
Jackson Worters is the son of long-time racer, Bill Worters, and the new champion in Super Pro. Hopefully, Jackson will take some of the championship earnings and buy some decals with his name so we poor photographers will know whose car that is.

Jared Kinson is the new champ in Pro. He was racing Jr. Dragsters against a young lady named Angela Ray back in the 1990s. Today Jared and his wife, Angela Ray Kinson are proud parents and still racing, although they run in different classes.
Eric Khoury took the championship crown in the Iannotti Bros. Select Cars Top Sportsman Series. Eric and his mom, Karri were both winners on Saturday.

Over at LVD, Shawn Nichols drove his father’s old race car to the Winner’s Circle in the 6.50 Index class in Saturday’s No Time race.

Ron Childs earned his 40th Track Championship on Sunday when he made it to the final round against Cam Murray in Street at NED. Ron will most likely earn at least one more Track Championship when New Oxford Dragway runs its last point race later this season. New back window decals are in the works.

Larry Emery, a regular in Winterport Dragway’s Gassah Guys series, took last weekend off to show his wild green pickup that he calls Frankintruck at the Northeast Motorsports Museum and earned the trophy for Best Appearing Drag Car for his troubles.

Chip Ippolito of Laconia, NH was the runner-up in Comp Eliminator against the formidable Frank Aragona.
