Their first event of the year was a washout, and the second threatened to be wiped out by rain too, but the Estevan Drag Racing Association finally got its season underway on Sunday.
The third annual Dennis Neelin Memorial Race, named in honour of the late drag racer from Carlyle, marked the first event of 2013 at the Estevan Municipal Airport.
As a result of June's season opener being rained out, prize payouts for the Neelin Memorial were doubled.
The show went ahead despite heavy rains hitting the area on Saturday, and there were 76 entries.
Here are the results from Sunday's show:
Quick 16: 1. Tim Melanson, Estevan; 2. Norm Dunsmore, Yellow Grass.
A Side: 1. Diane Knight, Regina; 2. Dwight Veysey, Carlyle.
Bike/Sled: 1. Jim Jundt, Max, N.D.; 2. Dave Krahn, Estevan.
Street Tire: 1. Lorrie Hanna-Johnson, Lumsden; 2. Jan Frayn, Weyburn.
Junior Dragster: 1. Amanda Wilson, Bienfait; 2. Dominic Walchuk, Redcliffe, Alta.
The next event for the Estevan Drag Racing Association is scheduled for Aug. 25, during Pure Energy Weekend.
