O’FALLON, MO – The Top Sportsman class in the American Drag Racing League (ADRL) continues to grow at an incredible rate.
On Friday, the world’s premier eighth-mile drag racing league announced that Summit Racing Equipment will be sponsoring the new Top Sportsman class for the rest of the 2011 ADRL season.
The class, now called the Summit Racing Equipment Top Sportsman class, made its official debut in July at the Ford Drive One Summer Drags VII at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park.
“We feel the addition of the Top Sportsman class to the ADRL line up is a natural fit,” said Jim Greenleaf, Summit Racing Equipment’s Motorsports and Events Manager. “The Top Sportsman racers we have spoken with are extremely excited to be a part of the ADRL show and Summit Racing is excited to continue our support of sportsman racing with the official sponsorship of the class.

ATCO, NJ – Third-generation racer T.J. Coughlin claimed the biggest payday of his young career when he won the 
$25,000 top prize in Sunday’s AA Auto Salvage North East Four Day Bracket Championships presented by JEGS Mail Order at Atco Dragway.
Driving his JEGS.com dragster, Coughlin outlasted some of the toughest sportsman racers in the country to claim the win. In the decisive eighth round, Coughlin stopped Scott Bodmer of Beallsville, Md. Coughlin’s performance in the final round was exceptionally noteworthy as he left with a nearly perfect .005-second reaction time and ran right on his dial-in time of 7.53 seconds for the win.
“That was a much-needed victory,” said an obviously elated Coughlin. “Any win is good but $25,000 will help pay a lot of bills. It felt really good to turn on the win light in that final round. When you come this far, you always want to be able to close the deal.”

Sonoma, CA – The West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association’s 2011 season is half way finished after completing the third event of six last weekend at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. 15 of the toughest competitors on the west coast
came to battle it out just to qualify for the 8-car field, let alone go home with the win and the “Wally” on Sunday.
Mike Maggio was running with the WCOPMA for his first time ever and set the bar high early in the weekend during Thursday’s open test session when he was the first pro mod car down the track and ran a very respectable 5.97 pass.
Marc Meadors would be the second quickest in testing on Thursday with a 6.06 run. Many others tested on Thursday but only made planned shut off runs to be on the safe side in preparation of the four total qualifying runs on Friday and Saturday.
