MAUNEY RACES TO EXTREME OUTLAW PRO MOD VICTORY AT ROCKINGHAM

 

North Carolina Motorsports Hall of Famer Tommy Mauney cruised to victory in the Extreme Outlaw Pro Mod portion of Saturday’s Spring Extreme Drags at Rockingham Dragway while Richfield’s Allen Furr and Riegelwood’s Michael Smith grabbed off the Footbrake and Top ET titles, respectively.

Mauney, the Shelby chassis builder who won the 1995 IHRA Pro Mod Championship, saved his best for last, guiding his replica 1968 Chevy Camaro through the eighth mile timers in 3.844 seconds in the final round to turn back the Camaro of Salisbury’s Tony Wilson (3.900).

Rockingham’s Terry Rosberg directed the Southern Thunder jet dragster to a finish line speed of 284 miles per hour to highlight the exhibition show and Nicole Zuccarelli of Goldsboro was the Jr. Dragster winner.  The event awarded track championship and NHRA Summit Series points in Top ET, Footbrake and Jr. Dragster.

It was a family affair in the MXA Street Car Shootout where Hamlet’s Trey Sikes drove his 2009 BMW 335D to victory over the 2014 Audi driven by his wife, Holly Smith.
