The Original Super Chevy Show Returns to Maryland International Raceway after nearly a Decade

Action packed day with nonstop racing, car show awards, swap meet and Jet Wars

MECHANICSVILLE, Maryland (August 20, 2016) – Maryland International Raceway™ (MDIR) and TEN: The Enthusiast Network celebrated the return of the Super Chevy Show to the famed Budds Creek facility on Saturday. The all General Motors show featured two ET sportsman bracket races, a prestigious car show, swap meet, vendor area and Jet Wars.

The local racers highlighted the day and took to the quarter-mile drag strip to battle it out for the coveted Super Chevy Show title. The Mattera family became a familiar fixture in the Maryland International Raceway winner’s circle as two brothers took home three trophies during the event. Here’s a breakdown of the two race showdown at Maryland International Raceway:

Bracket 1 (Top ET)

Bobby Mattera of Waldorf, Maryland won the first Bracket 1 (Top ET) race of the day in his ’70 Opel. Mattera used a .001 reaction time and a 5.783 on a 5.78 dial against Robbie Parlett’s 4.669 ET breakout on a 4.71 dial.

In the Bracket 1 final race, Doug Minter of King George, Virginia used a .014 reaction time and 5.443 ET on a 5.42 dial-in to take his ’67 Nova to the winner’s circle. Minter was victorious over Marc Williams and his Leonardtown, Maryland-based ’15 dragster.

Bracket 2 (Mod ET)

John Mattera of Waldorf, Maryland (brother of Bracket 1 race one winner Bobby Mattera) found himself in the winner circle in his ’69 Nova using a .048 reaction time and 6.376 ET on a 6.35 dial-in. Mattera topped Chris Saulnier of Colonial Beach, Virginia who ran a 6.474 break-out on a 6.48 dial-in.

Mattera would fall short in the final; however, the trophy stayed in the family as his brother Bobby Mattera would take the win light and double-up himself, winning one race in both Bracket 1 and Bracket 2 in his ’70 Opel. Bobby ran a 5.794 ET in the final on a 5.77 dial-in and .020 reaction time.
