K&N SPRING FLING 5-DAY WEDNESDAY RESULTS

Yukon Gear & Axle Wednesday dawned bright and sunny at the K&N Spring Fling 5-Day presented by Sparco, with the Sun deciding to hide behind the clouds but still allowing a time trial session for all competitors.

The Racetech/American Race Cars Super Tuesday Dragster Shootout still needed to be completed from Tuesday night with eight cars left in the quarterfinals with both the winner and runner-up scoring a brand new dragster. Sean Serra defeated John Taylor Jr, Jeff Taylor looked to avenge his brother’s loss to Serra and he did by defeated Vinny DiMino, Kevin Brannon took out Ben Parks, and making up the balance of what will be the semifinals is Michael Paschal defeating Robert DiMino Jr.

In the semifinals, Brannon turned on the redlight by .002 advancing Paschal and Serra used a better reaction time to end the Taylor brothers chance to bring home a new dragster. In the final, Paschal parlayed two wins last weekend locally to another win today earning him a new Racetech dragster while Serra took a new American Race Cars dragster home with him to Pennsylvania.

Eliminations began and everything was running smooth until… Mother Nature intervened for a very lengthy time after only about three-quarters of the first round. The Bristol Dragway crew once again kept at it and several hours later we were back to racing.

Unfortunately, with darkness and the dew point slowly approaching, the decision was made with safety in mind to halt the night’s activities at 11:30 pm. The plan will be to begin FTI and Optima Batteries Thursday in the morning. Once that event gets down to a manageable number, the continuation of Yukon Gear & Axle Wednesday’s $15K to win event will be completed.
