NOBLE, Okla. -- NHRA South Central division Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series competitors returned to Thunder Valley Raceway today to complete the event that rained out Oct. 17. Qualifying had been complete the first two days of the originally-scheduled weekend but rain on the 17th forced NHRA and track officials to reschedule eliminations.

Although today's action was delayed several hours in the morning due to high winds in the area, nearly all of the 11 classes in competition finished first round of eliminations and the Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car classes are down to the finals. Because track officials have a previously-scheduled event set for Saturday, eliminations for the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series will continue on Sunday at 9 a.m.

The final round of Top Alcohol Dragster will feature Oklahoma City's Brandon Pierce against reigning West Central division champion Randy Meyer of Spring Hill, Kan. And Top Alcohol Funny Car pilot Kebin Kinsley of Kennedale, Texas, will take on Gainesville, Ga., resident Steve Harker.

Gates open at 7:30 a.m. Sunday at Thunder Valley Raceway. For more information call the track, (405) 872-3429.
