July 07, 2008
At the NHRA O’Reilly Auto Parts Jr. Drag Racing League Eastern Conference Finals, several Jr. Dragster racers took to the finals during the Mike Bos Racing Nationals over the July 4th weekend at Bristol Dragway. The weekend produced a diverse group of winners, proving that all that racers must be on top of their game to leave Thunder Valley with a trophy this week.
Alexandra Guido again won the 7.90 Index class, using a .057 reaction with a 7.918 Mahon. Racing her way into another final, she left the line sooner with a .024 reaction, but a 7.952 was not good enough to earn another trip to the winner’s circle.
