Thursday, the weekend kicked off with the conclusion of an event that originally began near the team's Hammond, LA home base at State Capital Raceway in Baton Rouge, LA. There, in May, rain forced a postponement of the remaining rounds of the event, which were concluded at Pine Valley Raceway last weekend. No driver was happier to see the conclusion pushed back to Pine Valley than Britt Cummings. A year ago, Cummings used the Pine Valley event as a springboard to the IHRA Division 4 Quick Rod title and a top seed in his sponsor's Moser Axle Mania Shootout by dominating competition in the 2-day event, winning the Quick Rod title in both races.

This season, Cummings once again proved to be a master of the East Texas facility, delivering another stellar performance en route to the Top Dragster victory in Thursday's finish to the State Capital Event. Britt was joined by his father, Larry Cummings, in the winners circle, as Larry drove his Moser Engineering backed machine to the Thursday title in Super Stock.

A day later, Britt Cummings once again controlled the action in the Top Dragster category, extending his phenomenal streak at Pine Valley Raceway to four consecutive victories. Back-to-back victories are impressive to be certain, but Cummings' driving record throughout the event makes the weekend even more breathtaking: throughout eliminations in Thursday's conclusion, the Friday event, and until his fourth round defeat in Saturday's race, Cummings worst reaction time was .014!

"If it were up to me, we could race at Pine Valley every weekend," laughed the former IHRA Quick Rod World Champion. "I don't know why I've enjoyed so much success here, honestly, but this facility has been very, very good to me over the last two seasons. I've got a lot on my plate these days, and racing doesn't take the same priority it used to. Slate and Cool are still out on the road a lot, but I'm spending a lot more time at home. So, it's nice to be able to come out on a limited schedule and have success for the guys at Moser Engineering, and the rest of our marketing partners."

For the second consecutive day, Britt Cummings was not alone in the winners circle, as his younger brother Slate (also a two-time IHRA World Champion) joined him flying the Moser Engineering flag down the side of his triumphant Cavalier Super Stock machine.

As if four victories in two days weren't enough, the fourth member of the Cummings Moser Engineering team got into the act as well. Jody "Cool" Simoneaux joined his teammates in the Pine Valley Dragway Winner Circle on Saturday evening, after driving the teams familiar Moser Engineering backed Chevy II to the Stock Eliminator victory. Slate Cummings nearly made the weekend a six-peat for the team, but fell in the Super Stock final to Byron Levatino (who avenged his loss to Slate's father Larry in the Thursday final round).

"We had a great weekend," said Cummings. "This is the first time all four of us have won on the same weekend, and that's really special. It's a testament to the hard work of our team and everyone associated with it. And, it's a testament to the quality equipment with which we compete. This level of performance could not be possible without the support of Moser Engineering and our many great marketing partners."
