PDRA Rockingham Spring Nationals Coverage: Hard Running At The Rock


PDRA Rockingham Spring Nationals Coverage: Hard Running At The Rock

(Photos by Benoit Pigeon) – While history may show that the 2015 PDRA Spring Nationals were the place where one of the sanction’s darkest moments occurred, there’s the other side of the story as well. That’s the side of the story we’re going to be talking about here and the fact that there was some very good drag racing that happened at Rockingham Dragway before a wreck that will forever live in drag racing infamy happened. Benoit Pigeon was on site for BangShift to shoot photos and cover the event. We have a couple hundred images that he shot and we’re going to deliver them two you in a couple of batches. Batch number one is below.

Winners included names like Kevin Rivenbark, Travis Harvey, Richard Penland, Cody Moore, and others. We give the PDRA major props for the way the event was conducted following the Ronnis Davis crash on Saturday (which was scheduled to be the final day of the race). They halted action that day, postponed everything until Sunday and ran the remainder of the event then. It was the right thing to do and the right way to do it.

Benoit did his usual fantastic job on these images and we think that you’ll dig them and the style of racing that the PDRA brings to the table. You’ll see door slammers in all kinds of shapes and sizes here along with all of the different power adders that are used in the series, etc. If you want to learn more about the PDRA series and see when they are coming to your town, PDRA660.com is the jam.
