NHRA Division 6

rc1The NHRA’s Northwest division Lucas Oil Series rolled into the Woodburn Dragstrip in Oregon to wrap up its 2016 season over the weekend — a finale that was ultimately extended by a day after inclement weather hampered the efforts of race officials to complete qualifying and eliminations. After completing some of the early rounds on Sunday, the remainder of the event was postponed to Monday, where J Todd Gale (Stock), Tom Clark (Super Comp), Ross Childers (Super Gas) and Dustin Martin (Super Street) were among the winners.
