From an NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle field of 16 that boasted five female riders Sunday, it was the same familiar guys who have dominated the season so far.

Jerry Savoie scored his first victory of the season at the Summernationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park – and the third straight for his White Alligator Racing team in four bike events.

L.E. Tonglet’s back-to-back victories at Charlotte and Atlanta (the latter against Savoie) have put the Louisiana-headquartered team in a strong position with six races remining before the Countdown to the Championship playoff fields are set.

“L.E. and I feed off each other. Win or lose they [Tonglet, dad Gary, and brother GT] are like family to me,” the team owner said.

Savoie used a .031-second reaction time to score a holeshot victory against Hector Arana Jr., whose rather snoozy .111 light cost him a chance to stop the Savoie-Tonglet steamroller.

The Cut Off, La., racer covered the Englishtown, N.J., quarter-mile in 6.918 seconds at 192.85 against Arana Jr.’s much quicker and faster 6.862-second, 195.62-mph performance.

“Junior just had a little misfortune in the final, and we were able to take it home. And I’m thankful,” Savoie said. “This track is a little bit tricky, but Englishtown for me has been a blessing.”

This marked his second victory here in three visits. In 2015, Savoie recorded the second of his seven triumphs here at this fabled racetrack.

The alligator farmer from Lafourche Parish deep in Louisiana bayou territory, the No. 4 starter, defeated Cory Reed, Scotty Pollacheck, and Angie Smith to set up the meeting with Arana Jr., who was seeking his first victory since the 2015 St. Louis race – 25 races ago.

Arana Jr., the No. 2 qualifier aboard the Lucas Oil Buell, advanced past Melissa Surber, Eddie Krawiec, and Karen Stoffer to reach his first final round since last year’s U.S. Nationals.

Savoie said that in the final round, “I could hear Junior, but I didn’t know where he was. I just stayed in it and kept plugging away. I thought I saw his [win] light come on. And they’re pointing and pointing. I thought they were pointing at him, but they said, ‘We’re pointing at you!’”

Arana found a positive spin on his runner-up finish.

"There's only one guy happier than me at this point in the day,” the East Northport, N.Y., racer said. “So we’ll leave here feeling pretty good about our program. We went four rounds, got a chance at the trophy, and best of all, both bikes were consistent all weekend. I'm really excited right now. I wish the next race started tomorrow."

The bike class will convene next June 22-25 at the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals at Norwalk, Ohio. Krawiec continues to lead the standings, but Tonglet trails by a mere two points and Savoie is 34 behind Tonglet.

Savoie said crew chief Tim Kulungian is the one who shoulders the responsibility and pressure of prepping two motorcycles for each race. But, he said, “He’s had a handle on these things.

“I’ve had some struggles with reaction time,” Savoie said, “and we’ve been working on that. Today it showed.”

However, he was humble: “At 58 years old, I don’t know if this is the last one. You never know. What I want everybody to know is this is not a gimme for me. It’s from the heart. I’m out here because I love it and my family loves it. We just love it.”
