Forsyth, Quigley latest Lucas Oil / K&N Super Comp winners
Chris Forsyth and Mandy Quigley went to the winner’s circle of the third and fourth
races of the 2008 Lucas Oil Super Comp Association presented by K & N Filters
championship series at Auto Club Dragway. The event attracted 48 entries for
Saturday’s contest, and 52 for Sunday’s race.
Bobby Dye Jr. defeated Forsyth in the semifinals of Top Dragster at the NHRA-Lucas
Oil Drag Racing Series event in early May at Auto Club Dragway before winning the
event, but this time it was Forsyth stopping Dye in the late afternoon final in Fontana.
Forsyth grabbed the win with an 8.942 and .039 light as Dye lost with an 8.928 and .
046 light for a magin-of-victory of .007 seconds. In the semi, Forsyth defeated Aaron
Kinard while Dye got a single. Dye picked up the Bonaco Top Qualifier award for
running a perfect 8.900 in qualifying.
Mandy Quigley was eleventh in last years points standings, but her final round win over
Robert Kennyon has the Quigley Family dragster solidly in the top five as the season
approaches the mid-point. Mandy ran an easy 9.05, 168.32 in the final as Kennyon
fouled by .010 seconds, losing with an 8.920, 147 with his ’95 Yancer dragster.
Kennyon denied Forsyth an opportunity to go to two finals in one weekend, as he used
a .005 light and 8.903 in the semi to best the Fig-Speed dragster, losing with a too
quick 8.977. Quigley had a bye into the final. Andrew Ablott was the top qualifier for
race four with an 8.902 for the Bonaco Top Qualifier award.
The next race on the Lucas Oil / K&N Super Comp schedule is August 9 &
10 at Auto Club Dragway.
Next Race: Sept 20-21, 2008 at Auto Club Famoso Raceway Bakersfield, California

Not many drag racers have had a summer like Val Torres Jr unless
your last name is Fletcher or Schumacher. Torres won Top
Sportsman at the June Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at
Fallon, he was the Super Gas runner-up at the Sonoma
Fram-Autolite Nationals, and he won Super Gas at the Sonoma
divisional, and then he and the Torres family settle in at the
association "Super Series" race where he puts his SC dragster in
the Saturday winner's circle. Val also went to the quarters and
semifinals of the Pro Gas race. Val defeated Sara Kelso in the
final round, 8.939 to a losing 8.893.
