TODAY . . .
Left Lane: Keith Murt Runs 4.815/156.10, Now #18; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Dom Lagana Runs 3.958/302.89, Now #14; Best prior run: 3.935/309.56, Was #14

Murt started to spin the tires and then had puff of smoke before he clicked it off. Lagana will not improve on his time from yesterday, but has a lot of engine smoke right in the lights. Dom Lagana’s incremental times: 60ft-0.866 sec., 330ft-2.230, 660ft-3.169/270.43 mph.

Lagana takes Top Fuel win at US 131
Last weekend’s Summer Showdown with the PMRA was a terrific event at US 131 Motorsports Park with Pro Modified cars, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Pro Bikes and Pro Sleds coming from the US and Canada. With the return of the Top Fuel Dragsters at May’s Thunder Nationals being rained out, the Summer Showdown was also a chance for the dragsters to roar.

In the Top Fuel finals it was Dom Lagana of Scarsdale, NY, who ran 4.74 elapsed time at 318 MPH defeating Dale Creasy Jr. of Lansing, IL, driving the Top Fueler of Chris “The Greek” Karamasines. Creasy was tracking alongside Lagana when the big slicks lost traction at the eighth-mile marker giving Lagana the victory.

thats funny…Both Daddy Lagana AND ‘The Greek” ran Dover 😀
