MECHANICSVILLE,
Maryland (August 20, 2016)
- Maryland International Raceway™ (MDIR) and TEN:
The Enthusiast Network celebrated the return of the Super
Chevy Show to the famed Budds Creek facility on Saturday.
The all-General Motors show featured two ET sportsman bracket
races, a car show, swap meet, vendor area and Jet Wars.
The local racers highlighted the day and
took to the quarter-mile drag strip to battle it out for
the coveted Super Chevy Show title. The Mattera family
became a familiar fixture in the Maryland International
Raceway winner's circle as two brothers took home three
trophies during the event. Here's a breakdown of the two
race showdown at Maryland International Raceway:
Bracket 1 (Top
ET)
Bobby Mattera of Waldorf,
Maryland won the first Bracket 1 (Top ET) race of the
day in his '70 Opel. Mattera used a .001 reaction time
and a 5.783 on a 5.78 dial against Robbie Parlett's 4.669
ET breakout on a 4.71 dial.
In the Bracket 1 final race, Doug
Minter of King George, Virginia used a .014 reaction
time and 5.443 ET on a 5.42 dial-in to take his '67 Nova
to the winner's circle. Minter was victorious over Marc
Williams and his Leonardtown, Maryland based '15 dragster.
Bracket 2 (Mod
ET)
John Mattera of Waldorf,
Maryland (brother of Bracket 1 race one winner Bobby Mattera)
found himself in the winner circle in his '69 Nova using
a .048 reaction time and 6.376 ET on a 6.35 dial-in. Mattera
topped Chris Saulnier of Colonial Beach, Virginia who
ran a 6.474 break-out on a 6.48 dial-in.
John Mattera attempted to double-up in
Bracket 2 going all the way to the final. Mattera would
fall short in the final, however the trophy stayed in
the family as his brother Bobby Mattera
would take the win light and double-up himself, winning
one race in both Bracket 1 and Bracket 2 in his '70 Opel.
Bobby ran a 5.794 ET in the final on a 5.77 dial-in and
.020 reaction time.

Hollywood, Maryland resident Hunter

his '86 S-10 in Street ET race number one when he defeated
Lee Parks of Cockeysville, Maryland. Levin's .020 reaction
time and 11.338 ET on an 11.37 dial-in was good enough
to take home the trophy.
Levin
completed the weekend sweep in Street ET competition as
he defeated Wally Tuck of Richmond, Virginia in the final
round. Levin took the win at the tree as Tuck red-lighted
handing Levin the victory.

It
was an all-Estevez final in Jr. Dragster when Patrick
Estevez Jr. topped Louie Estevez to claim the
