Two years ago the Meltdown Drags Association embarked on a mission to supplement its wildly successful summer time Meltdown Drags with a vintage drag racing meet in the autumn. Under the auspices of “Vintage Drag Racing 101”, “The Fall-Out” was born.
MDA partnered with Rock Falls Raceway in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in part to take advantage of the burgeoning vintage drag racing scene centered in Minnesota's Twin Cities. Those racers and fans have responded enthusiastically to the authentic 1966 and older race for fun format.
In the final results from Thunder Valley Raceway Park and the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Jeff Lopez, Irving, Texas, claimed titles in both Super Gas and Stock Eliminator.
Lopez faced off against Jay Bunce, Piedmont, Okla., in Super Gas and posted a winning run of 6.315 seconds, 124.06 mph in his ’63 Corvette. Bunce drove to a 6.344 second, 127.98 mph lap for a close runner up finish.
In his second final of the day Lopez, worked his way through the Stock Eliminator field and ran 5.869 seconds at 116.64 mph in his victory over Greg Stanfield, Bossier City, La., who clocked in at 6.627 seconds, 99.32 mph. This was Lopez’s 15th and 16th Lucas Oil Series victories.
