St. Thomas wrap up
 

Summer Action and Points Heat up in the Can – Am Stock / Super Stock Series
The first weekend in August, the Can-Am series made its first stop of this season at St. Thomas Dragway Park. The weather was perfect, and the track crew worked as hard as ever to provide one of the most inviting and enjoyable atmospheres anywhere in the world of drag racing.

Saturday: 39 cars came to the starting line, and after 7 hard rounds of racing Glen Baker in his SS/KA Buick was our winner. Bob Park drove his GT/GA Camaro to the runner up position. After dinner, the 40 and under crowd took part in a special shootout, for bragging rights and the highly prized, one of a kind Smith Performance trophy. James Little was the winner in his SS\PEA1 Malibu, beating a very strong running Pierce Jones in his I\S Firebird. A large thank you to Jim Wildgoose and Wildgoose Performance for sponsoring this years prizes. Next years race is sure to be bigger and better, as ideas for new formats are already being put forward. The long haul award has to be given to Rachelle Thibert who traveled from Kansas with 2 very well prepared K/SA Malibu’s.
