McAttack makes it to the FINALS again.
Team McAttack had a great weekend at IHRA Northern Nitro Jam in Martin, MI. We had 4 good runs, the best in the Finals on Saturday. It was hot Friday and attendance was decent. On Saturday we were staring down some rain clouds, but it all passed and racing wasn’t delayed. Attendance was great on Saturday, all the fans we talked to loved the show. We have a match race this weekend at Dragway 42, then back on the road to Budds Creek, Maryland.
Friday Round 1 | ||||
W/L | Driver | RT | RT | Speed |
| (W) | Steve Nichols (’70 Camaro) | 0.110 | 6.040 | 232.11 |
| (L) | Mike McIntire (Amalie Oil ’69 Camaro) | 0.143 | 6.298 | 222.47 |
The car ran great, a litte slower than we wanted and nothing got hurt.
Friday Round 2
W/L | Driver | RT | ET | Speed |
| (W) | Mike McIntire (Amalie Oil ’69 Camaro) | 0.149 | 6.221 | 229.27 |
| (L) | Rick Krafft (Chicago Fire ’79 Corvette)(L) | 0.092 | 7.247 | 152.42 |
9:51 p.m. These two would usually meet in the championship round, but not today. This time it was all McIntire, Krafft’s car off the pace immediately and trailing smoke in the lights.
Saturday Round 1
W/L | Driver | RT | ET | Speed |
| (W) | Mike McIntire (Amalie Oil ’69 Camaro) | 0.066 | 6.163 | 230.53 |
| (L) | Greg Jacobsmeyer (AllStar Dodge ’70 Challenger) | 0.117 | 6.313 | 222.11 |
The winner here needs to beat Dunn’s 6.606 to get into the championship round and Lawson’s 6.259 to make sure he stays there. McIntire was away first and steadily pulled away from Jacobsmeyer to take the win and ensure himself of a spot in the championship round.
Saturday Round 2 (FINALS)
W/L | Driver | RT | ET | Speed |
| (W) | Peter Gallen (’74 Vega) | 0.065 | 6.011 | 234.61 |

9:38 p.m. McIntire gave the championship round win to Gallen on a red light and he wasted his best run of the weekend in the process.
