Despite the best efforts of NHRA and track officials, final eliminations from the Ray Skillman Chevrolet NHRA Spring Spectacle of Speed at Lucas Oil Raceway Indianapolis were postponed late Sunday, due to rain.
 
All of Saturday’s scheduled qualifying and eliminations were lost to rain, but several rounds were completed on Sunday, including the first elimination rounds in Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car.
 
In Top Alcohol Dragster, 2015 event runner-up Brandon Booher defeated Ken Perry. In the semifinals Booher is scheduled to race Gord Gingles, who eliminated defending event champion and low qualifier, Mia Tedesco. The other semifinal pairing will feature former North Central Division champion, Marty Thacker going against class newcomer Krista Baldwin. Baldwin, the granddaughter of Top Fuel legend Chris “the Greek” Karamesines, won the first round after opponent Robin Samsel smoked the tires, while Thacker earned his spot in the semifinals with a win against Jared Dreher.
 
In Top Alcohol Funny Car, defending national champion Jonnie Lindberg continued to be the class of the field. After qualifying No. 1, Lindberg made the quickest run of the event thus far in round one with a 5.521-second run at 265.12 mph. Lindberg got a single run in the first round after 2015 event champion Todd Robertson did not make the call. In the semifinals, Lindberg will be paired with Paul Noakes, who took out Rob Pfeister in the opening round. The other semifinals pairing will feature Scott McVey and Tony Bogolo, who defeated Chris Foster and Ray Drew, respectively.
 
In other competition, defending North Central Division champions Todd Frantz (Competition Eliminator), Nick Morris (Super Stock), and Tony Fagnilli (Super Gas), each advanced to round two, as did defending Top Dragster national champion, Marco Abruzzi.
 
The remainder of eliminations will be completed at a future event, with an official announcement to come from the NHRA North Central Division office shortly. The next Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event for the North Central Division is Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio May 20-22.
