The 2019 PDRA season drew to a close over the weekend with the running of the Brian Olsen Memorial World Finals. Much credit goes out to the racers, PDRA staff and the staff at Virginia Motorsports Park to condense the program so it could be completed on Saturday in advance of an all-day rain on Sunday. The two days of action gave us event winners, season-long champions and historic runs. Here are some highlights in photos by Dave Oakes.
Randy Weatherford’s new Camaro became the 1st in the 3.50’s in pro boost at 3.597.
Mike DiDominico took home the pro boost win with a massive holeshot over Weatherford.
Even though John Montecalvo DNQ’d for the event, he is still the season champ in Extreme Pro Stock.
Brian Teachman put on a fire show on every pass in the Gotham City Camaro.
