Saturday $11K Main Event

After Friday’s washout at Cedar Falls Motorsports Park, sunshine and mild temperatures returned on Saturday and the best racers of the Midwest staged up for their shot at a $11,000 payday.

In the semi-final, John Davis Jr. was laddered against the last remaining no-box driver of the day, Jenna Loeffelholz. John used a .010 reaction to gain a starting line advantage and run 3-above the dial to advance to the $11,000 final round. On the other side of the ladder, Midwest-hitter Jake Jones staged up against the last remaining box door car of the day, Myron Streit. Jake let go .022 and ran dead-nine to make it an all dragster final round.

In the final round, neither driver wanted to be red with John letting go .021 for the advantage. At the stripe, John went dead on his dial with an eight to be six-thou ahead, and capture his first Gallstar Bracket Races Main Event Victory.

“Ive been waiting for this one!” said John. “The car was incredible all day and I was able to find the tree, it just worked.”
