Former Wilkesboro Dragway Top ET champion Frank Aldridge and his 20’s style roadster seemed to be on a rail Saturday night untill he met up with Tracy Kilby in the finals. Kilby and his Trans Am proved to be the better car and claimed the victory. This is Kilby’s first WD win of the year.
Modified ET saw a familiar face in the winners circle, 4 time Modified ET champion Johnny Hodges took the win for the second time this season by taking out Doug Smith and his classic Mopar. Hodges is on track to take his unprecedented 5th championship.
In Street ET Dylan Aldridge and his Jeep took home the win over Catrina Shannon and her Mustang. This was Aldridge’s first WD win and the 5th week in a row Shannon has runnered up.
This week at NC’s Oldest dragstrip, three nights of action are slated. 1st up, the popular Thursday night Test N Tune. For only $10 you can watch or take your car down the famed strip to see if you have what it takes to be a racer. Gates open @ 5:30pm.

Saturday night is race night! Along with Top, Modified, and Street ET, the Slant 6 racers will be on hand as well as the 2.75 Nitro Street cars . If you are a classic Mopar or fast street car fan, you won’t want to miss this one!!
