Important Regional Sportsman Wins!
Two Canadian drivers scored important and impressive wins during recent Sportsman racing action within the USA – one in IHRA and one in NHRA competition…
Ed Smith (above) rolled his dragster into victory lane during the recent IHRA Summit Racing Pro-Am Tour event held at Memphis International Raceway (June 16th). Smith, who is from LaSalle Ontario scored during the Saturday event portion for the Good Vibrations sponsored Top Dragster category on a single in the final round.
The same day further east during the NHRA LODRS event held at Lebanon Valley, New York — it was Ian St. Pierre (below) winning in Super Gas. St. Pierre rode his very cool looking ’57 Corvette to a final round 9.927 secs at 157.00 mph to win his first career race at the NHRA divisional level.
