K&N SPRING FLING 5-DAY TUESDAY RESULTS
When it comes to either of the K&N Spring Fling events in Bristol and Las Vegas, the best bracket racers in the 
country; and some from different countries; show up to do battle. Triple-zero reaction times coupled with dead-on the dial-in runs are commonplace. So is taking .001 finish line, or less. The competition is just tough. However, there’s one thing no competitor can ever beat… that’s Mother Nature. This is after all, a sport played outside requiring a dry race track.
Day one of the K&N Spring Fling 5-Day presented by Sparco was slated for an open Test & Tune session followed by the Racetech/American Race Cars Super Tuesday Dragster Shootout. With a new dragster awarded to both the winner and runner-up, the limited 32-car field was filled weeks ago.
The wet stuff never seemed to leave but by late afternoon Mother Nature finally relented and the Bristol Dragway crew did a fabulous job to get the track ready. The Test & Tune session began albeit a little later than anticipated. The Dragster Shootout got underway and completed two rounds before an oil down by one of the Test & Tune cars caused an extensive clean-up which ended the night. The remaining eight cars will complete the race Wednesday morning.
With the impending weather upon us, race co-promoters chose to change the weekly schedule.
“We just wanted to make sure we get as many races completed in order to make it fair for the racers,” said co-promoter Kyle Seipel.
With that said, Tuesday’s schedule stayed as planned as will Yukon Gear & Axle Wednesday. The forecast as of now is not at all good for Optima Friday so FTI Thursday will be combined with Friday’s Optima Battery sponsored day making it $40,000 to the winner with all round money and prizes doubled.
“That will give us Saturday and Sunday to finish the last race; JEGS Saturday; of the weekend,” Seipel said. “We’re just trying to make the best decisions and be proactive ahead of time.”
