July 6, 2008 was a day for the racers of seemingly every class
as competition was held in the Metro Portland New Car Dealers Association JDRL Series, The High School Series, The VP Racing Fuels Championship Series, and the Les Schwab Tire Centers/Toyo Tires Sports Compact Series. In addition, Heads-up Northwest made very impressive runs and crowned three champions in their three classes of heads-up, no breakout competition. Without a doubt, if a driver is involved on serious racing at Woodburn Dragstrip, they were present and competing on this date. Lane Howard, Bryan Santino, Taylor Nielson, and Casey Ladd came out on top in JDRL classes. Josh Wilson defeated Benjamin Hilton in the finals of High School competition. Paul Sims, Debbie Dawson, Richard Potter, and Derrick Jackson each rose to the top in VP Fuels competition. Mark Hunt, Tonja Schaffer, and Mike Herrera scored top points in the Sports Compact classes. Franc Machette, Patrick Choruby, and Terry Bacon beat all others in the Heads-up Northwest classes. Final results are listed here with drivers’ names, city, car, RT, ET, MPH, and dial-in.
