POMONA, CA – Congratulations to Alan Ellis for clinching his
first Lucas Oil Comp Eliminator Championship last weekend at the Pomona World
Finals. Ellis, who lives in Mapleton UT,
runs a 23 roadster with motor built by the Professor, Warren Johnson. After a steady set of wins in elimination,
Ellis faced Donald Thomas in the final round.
Ellis clocked a respectable 6.887 sec at 160.90 mph run, but Thomas had
some problems at the start and had to get out of the throttle. This is Ellis’ 4th win this year. Check out the Burns merge collectors with
signature reverse cone megaphones!
We also want to congratulate Jeff Lane for winning the Division
6 Championship in Comp Eliminator. Jeff,
together with his partner Jerry Hancock, have won a combined 8 divisional championships
in a racing career of over 30 years.
Jeff and Jerry built a new set of headers this year for their Comp
Eliminator car utilizing Burns components and design. It has apparently worked well for the duo!
