Wiggins Just Misses His First “Wally”
Wiggins Just Misses His First “Wally” in Super Comp Category at NHRA 41st annual Gatornationals
(March 15, 2010) – Third-year Super Comp racer Trevor Wiggins, Canton, Ga., made his first final-round eliminations appearance during an NHRA national event at the 41st annual Gatornationals, held Sunday, March 14, 2010 in Gainesville, Fla.
From a field representing 90 of the nation’s best Super Comp competitors, Wiggins drove his Undercover dragster to wins over Tisha Wilson, Marc Caruso, Mark Daniels and Ray Llanusa, which earned Wiggins the “bye” into the finals. Wiggins lost in the final round eliminations to Steve Furr, who had a better reaction time. Furr, right lane, (0.025) 8.947 defeated Wiggins, (0.122) 8.916 0.016, after winning the coin toss for lane choice.
“After our early season struggles, it’s awesome to have such an amazing run. The car was so consistent. Unfortunately, I wasn’t consistent on the tree when it counted in the final round,” Wiggins recalled. “With all of the rain delays, we weren’t sure we’d even be able to race. So to even be in the finals – and at the Gators – was just great.”
Wiggins now ranks seventh nationally among NHRA’s 1,500 Super Comp drivers after his strong showing at the Gatornationals – the third race of the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Racing Series.
Wiggins thanked sponsors Steve Schmidt Racing Engines, Willy’s Garage and DART Machinery, for their support, along with all the NHRA contingency sponsors that support sportsman racing.
Trevor Wiggins is well known throughout the automotive and racing industries, having been involved with both since a young age. He has raced shifter carts, Formula Ford, Formula Mazda and Toyota Atlantic, and participated in NTPA truck and tractor pulling before getting involved with NHRA Super Comp drag racing. In his second year drag racing, Wiggins finished the 2009 season ranked seventh in his home division and 40th nationally.
