NHRA Arizona Nationals Super Comp winner Val Torres Sr.
California-based Val Torres Sr. upped his career win total to five after driving past Marco Perivolaris in the Super Comp final. Torres, whose most recent win came last year in Sonoma, gave up a slight lead at the start, .002 to .023, but prevailed on a double breakout. Torres did not have an easy path to the winner’s circle, either. He had to overcome Trevor Larson’s perfect 8.900 run in the third round and later rallied to win his quarterfinal match against Jeff Connelly with a perfect .000 light.
