LUCAS OIL DRAG RACING SERIES 

Updates to be found periodically at: http://www.dragracecentral.com

Sunday, June 9,2002. - Another nice day here at Delmar.  If it got any nicer out we would cancel the racing and have a barbecue!  Eliminations under way at 11:00 am. 

Final results are in from the Delaware 1st State Championship, a round of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, at US 13
Dragway.  Comp Eliminator national champion Don Stratton won his first event of the season and was joined in the winner's circle today by five other first-time winners: Sal Biondo in Super Stock; Jerry MacNeish in Stock; Dan Northrop in Super Comp; Tom Stalba in Super Gas; and Robert Silfies in Super Street.
        Beloit, Ohio, resident Stratton drove his '34 roadster to victory over Patrick Ross of Avon Lake, Ohio, while Biondo, of Maspeth, N.Y., beat Ron Morehead of Newburgh, N.Y.  MacNeish, who lives in Eldersburg, Md., took the stripe over John Gray of Hudson, Mass.  For Doylestown, Pa., resident Northrop, it was a very narrow margin of victory over Kent Hanley
of Newtown, Conn.  Stalba of Williamstown, N.J., beat out Tommy Corbett of Hampton, Va.  Hanley took the Super Comp win at the division's season opener in Reading, Pa.  Easton, Pa.'s Silfies beat Toya Peel of Houston,
Del., in the final.
        To recap Saturday's eliminations in Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car, Cliff Bozzelli and Frank Manzo each took their second divisional event wins of the season.  Bozzelli of Absecon, N.J., took the win in TAD over Billy Gibson of Chaptico, N.J.  Morganville, N.J., resident Manzo drove his TAFC around Craig English of Mt.
