Point standings (top 10) following the 16th annual NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway, the 11th of 24 events in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series -

Final round-by-round results from the 16th annual NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway, the 11th of 24 events in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series:

Tommy Johnson Jr. raced to his first Funny Car victory of the season and 13th of his career Sunday at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway.  

Shawn Langdon (Top Fuel) and Jason Line (Pro Stock) were also winners of their respective categories at the 11th of 24 events on the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule.

The record-setting trend set on Friday continued Saturday at the IHRA President's Cup Nationals.  Cary Goforth (Pro Stock), Bob Malloy (Nitro Motorcycle), Tim Boychuk (AMSOIL Nitro Funny Car) and Kevin McCurdy (Pro Mod) took their respective titles at Maryland International Raceway.

Goforth entered the event three markers out of the points lead and dominated the day.  He was the No. 1 qualifier, ran the table in eliminations and took the points lead after the season's third race.  He defeated Brad Waddle, John Pluchino and Trevor Eman on his way to the winner's circle.  Goforth was the only No. 1 qualifier that advanced past the first round of eliminations; it was his second win in three races this season. Texas Nationals winner and previous Pro Stock points leader John Konigshofer did not qualify for eliminations.

Surprise!

Not.

Bob Rahaim powered to the No. 1 qualifying position and a first round victory Saturday in the NHRA J&A Service Pro Mod Drag Racing Series portion of the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals. This weekend’s Pro Mod racing at Bristol Dragway is presented by the Real Pro Mod Association. This is the fifth of 10 Pro Mod events on the 2016 season.

Rahaim pushed his late model TLC Waste Disposal Services Chevy Corvette to a 5.796-second pass at 246.48 mph to earn the second No. 1 qualifier of his career and first of the season. He went on to defeat Steven Whiteley in his late model Y-Not Racing / J&A Service Cadillac CTS in first round. Rahaim, who has one victory and one runner-up finish in his career, will meet local favorite Von Smith in the quarterfinals on Sunday.

Steve Torrence claimed the No. 1 qualifying position in Top Fuel on Saturday at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway.

Ron Capps (Funny Car) and Jason Line (Pro Stock) also were No. 1 qualifiers in their respective categories at the 11th of 24 events on the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule.

Bob Rahaim powered to the qualifying lead Friday in the NHRA J&A Service Pro Mod Drag Racing Series portion of the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals. This weekend’s Pro Mod racing at Bristol Dragway is presented by the Real Pro Mod Association. This is the fifth of 10 Pro Mod events on the 2016 season.

Rahaim, who has one No. 1 qualifier in his career, pushed his late model TLC Waste Disposal Services Chevy Corvette to a 5.796-second pass at 246.48 mph to take the qualifying lead. Rahaim has one victory and one runner-up finish in his career.  

Tennessee’s Bristol Dragway is about 700 miles from Walt Disney World, but it definitely had the E Ticket ride Friday for Funny Car’s Ron Capps.

That’s the slangy designation for the coolest, hippest, most thrilling rides at the Magic Kingdom theme park. And that’s what Capps’ 3.884-second, 323.66-mph trip down the 1,000-foot course in his Don Schumacher Racing-owned NAPA Dodge Charger felt like, he said after using it to take the tentative No. 1 qualifying spot at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals.

Steve Torrence sat in the water box at Bristol, Tenn., and watched as his crew chief, Richard Hogan, and tuning consultant Alan Johnson agreed that this Capco Contractors / Rio Ammunition Dragster was about to reel off a 3.74- or 3.75-second elapsed time on the 1,000-foot course.

They were right on the money, as Torrence powered it smooth and straight down Bristol Dragway’s left lane to a 3.745-second track-record E.T. at a class-fastest 324.12 mph to secure Friday’s provisional Top Fuel No. 1 qualifying position for the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals.
