2007 FALL FAST FORDS

ROCKINGHAM - Robert Morris of Fayetteville won the Wild Street class Saturday at Rockingham Dragway during the annual Holcomb Motorsports Fall Ford event. Morris drove his 1998 Mustang to victory in the final round over the 1992 Mustang of Derrick Sercy, Sanford. Morris turned the eighth mile in 5.200 seconds at 138.22 miles per hour to Sercy’s losing 5.278, 119.52. Robert Agee of Danville, Va., and Rich Alford of Latta, S.C. were the semi-finalists.

Morris was the number four qualifier and received a gift in the semi final round against number one qualifier, Alford. Alford set low time in qualifying with a 5.169 time at 140.02 miles per hour, but left the starting line too soon against Morris and redlighted his chances away.

Sercy, the second quickest in qualifying at 5.210, set low time of the event and top speed of the day in the semi final round at 5.071 seconds, 145.80. Easily the favorite, Sercy was beat in the final when his 1992 Mustang lost traction at the finish line and turned sideways, forcing him to abort the run and to hand the win to Morris.

Kevin Robinson of Blythewood, S.C. won the Index Class over Mike Frazier of Staley when Frazier red-lighted, or fouled his chances away. Timmy Brown of Carthage and Lonnie Plyler of Statesville were the semi finalists.

Dale Sanders of Eagle Springs won the Open Comp category in his 1991 Mustang defeating Daniel Frazier of Ramseur in the final. Benjie Loftis of Roxboro and Shane Williams of Knoxville, Tenn. were the semi finalists

Williams won the Pro Tree Doorslammers class, beating Rockingham’s Will McKay in the final. Other winners were David Cole of Sophia in the Footbrake class and Thurman Warren, Dunn, in the Trophy class.
