Atco,
NJ - The Mid Atlantic .90 Association
kicked off its 2018 season at Atco Dragway on Saturday April
28th, 2018. An action-packed day of racing and blue skies
greeted racers for Race # 1 of the 10 race series.
The
Super Comp final featured Maryland's Randy
Winfelder Jr. and Pennsylvania's Kevin
Scholl. At the flash of the tree Winfelder took
a .006 to .014 advantage and parlayed that into a 8.93
to 8.94 victory over Scholl.
In
Super Gas, 1986 NHRA Super Gas World
Champion Ron Orbin made his return to
the class with a victory when New York runner Frank
Volpe went .004 red in the final.
In
what might be the most interesting final of the weekend
in Super Street when Dave Harvey
Jr. took the win over Jimmy Young
in an all footbrake final Harvey took the win after an
almost even start with Young but, Young went under the
10.90 index with a 10.892 to Harvey’s winning 10.905.
A
drastic change in weather hit over-night and threw drivers
for a loop with setting up their throttle-stops. In the
Super Gas final local runner Nick Olt
took his Team Advantage Corvette to the win over Sean
Lang after Lang went -.002 red in his Cavalier.
In Super Street 3x Mid Atlantic Super Street Champion
Keith Mayers took the win over Kelli
Barbato and her 68 Camaro. Barbato took the advantage
at the tree (.010 to .019) but, just took a little too
much stripe and ran under with a 10.896 to Mayers winning
10.910. Due to the cold temps the Super Comp final was
pushed to the June event and will be contested between
Kyle Koretsky and Steve Everett Sr.
