CIVIL WARS

the victory in his Vega .

Mike Ingram won the prize for Saturday and Sunday ’ s footbrake classes . Other class winners include Anthony Cupolo in Pro Tree Doorslammers , Phillip Latham in Open Comp , Todd Comer in the 6.00 index class , Kenzie Whitley in Jr . Dragster , and Todd Buckner in 4.70 index .

We had food , drinks , and laughs while Rockingham natives John Norris and Erik Hawks played on stage on Friday . A Luke Bryan tribute , Ultimate Aldean , and a fireworks show topped off Saturday night ’ s festivities . Local vocalist Nikki Fletcher also performed the national anthem to kick things off on Saturday .

We were all pleased with how well it ran for the first three-day event and hoped to continue the tradition as a replacement for the previous popular series . I received nothing but positive vibes from both racers and fans . I look forward to seeing what Rasberry will do to improve the experience for the racers and fans . DI
