 Cecil
County Dragway - Rising Sun, Md (July 11th & 12th) -
The Mid Atlantic .90 Association got back
into gear after two months off with race # 3 & 4 of
the 2015 season at Cecil County Dragway.
On Saturday, Don Bangs (Super Comp), Earl
Nichols Jr. (Super Gas) and Marty Ganjoin
(Super Street) claimed victory. On Sunday Kevin
Scholl (Super Comp), Iggie Boicesco
(Super Gas) and Daryl Peters (Super Street)
were the last ones standing.
 Saturday
featured an action packed day of racing for the .90 Series
as not only did competitors have Race number three on
tap but, a special Top 8 Shootout sponsored by ATI &
Autometer was run for members who earned enough points
and qualified over the season. With hot temperatures on
tap, it was going to be a will of endurance for those
racers who were competing in both events. In Super Comp,
2014 MASCA Champ Don Bangs picked up where he left off
last season and claimed his first victory of 2015 with
a victory over the Lucas Oil Dragster of Jeff Kundratic.
In the final, both drivers were almost even at the tree
(.025 to .033) with Bangs keeping that edge with a 8.928
to 8.934 victory. In other action on Saturday, Earl Nichols
Jr. claimed the battle of Corvettes as his ‘78 took
down Gary Laird’s ‘63 in Super Gas. Marty
Ganjoin took his ‘68 Camaro to victory in Super
Street over Jimmy Stack in the Garbinski & Livezey
Challenger to conclude Race # 3.
As
the sun was going down competitors lined up for a special
Top 8 shootout event sponsored by ATI & Autometer.
In the end Nichols, kept his hot streak going from Race
three with a victory over Rich Price. In Super Comp, it
was a battle of the first two winners of 2015 as Kevin
Scholl took down Jeff Livezey Sr. In an epic battle Scholl
turned on the win light with a .012 thousandths package
to Livezey's .013 thousandths package to claim the victory.
Rounding out the shootout in Super Street, Jimmy Stack
got in as an alternate and used that advantage to run
the table and take down 2014 Division 1 All-Star Jason
Lawrence in the final.
 On
Sunday, Daryl Peters of Toms River, NJ
claimed victory in the Super Street. Peters, driving his
1985 Pontiac Trans-Am, sliced through the competition
to meet up with 2013 Champion Stack in the finals. Peters
took the advantage at the tree (.010 to .023) and parlayed
that into a nineteen thousandths package with a 10.909
to 10.895 victory over Stack. This would be Peters’
first win of the season and 2nd overall MASSA victory.
Recent LODRS Lebanon Valley winner Iggie Boicesco took
his ATI-sponsored Corvette to victory and stopped Nichols
from a clean sweep of the weekend when Nichols rolled
deep and turned on the red-light. Rounding out the weekend,
Scholl continued his hot streak and claimed his second
victory of the early season by taking down Tom Oliver
in the finals. Scholl used a big advantage at the tree
and took his S&W dragster to victory with a 8.921
to Oliver's breakout of 8.889.
The series now takes a weekend off before heading back
to Atco Dragway on July 25th & 26th for Race # 5 &
6.
