With only one Pro event left in the 2011 season, the fight for the Pro Fuel Dragster championship will be decided last minute. Mike Manners in "The Shredder" is leading the points standings by only 3 points, with Bill Evans right on his tail in second. The champion will be crowned at the Northern Nitro Jam event at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park, August 12-13.
Just like he did in 2010, Bill Evans is hoping to come from behind and take the championship. Evans sealed the deal at the Virginia race last year, winning the championship in the class' inaugural season. Trailing by only 3 points, Bill has a good chance to repeat.
Mike Manners has been having a great season in one of IHRA's premiere classes, with four wins and a 12-4 record in eliminations. Manners will not only be fighting for the championship, he'll be trying to repeat his victory at this track in 2010.
Along with Manners and Evans, a few other drivers will be in attendance. Cherissa Smallwood, Dave Hill, Robin Samsel, and more will also be competing for the Northern Nitro Jam Ironman trophy. Smallwood and Samsel have been running the Nitro Jam circuit for many of the races, but have yet to get a win. Hill, who has been running in NHRA's Top Alcohol Dragster class, will be racing at his first Nitro Jam event of the 2011 season. Dave Hill and Robin Samsel upset the two best cars at the season finale in 2010, to move on to face each other in the final round.
