IHRA Nitro Jam: Weekend Recap on DRAGZINE. It doesn’t seem like that time of the year yet, but Sunday’s final rounds at the IHRA’s Northern Nitro Jam at the U.S. 131 Motorsports Park in Martin brought to a close the Nitro Jam season, crowning the final set of winners in another successful season. As he has for much of the year, Peter Gallen dominated the Prostalgia Funny Car division, winning both races and charging to the quickest nostalgia flopper pass in history Sunday, 5.55 seconds. The Pro Fuel category meanwhile was dominated by the females, with Cherissa Smallwood taking the title on Friday, while Kristen Dennis earned her first Ironman on Sunday in her Nitro Jam debut. Ron Maroney and Tom Padilla both scored in the exciting Fuel Altered category, while Jay Turner and Steve Dorn did likewise in Nitro Harley. Race wrapups from Martin are available on the IHRA website here and here.

NHRA Division 4: Randy Meyer sailed to victory on Sunday at the West Central division meet at the Cordova Dragway in Illinois, defeating Brandon Booher in the finale, 5.38 to 5.47. Iowa native Dale Brand did likewise in Top Alcohol Funny Car, cruising virtually uncontested to victory when opponent Vern Moats slowed to a 29-second pass.
