By Charlie Brown, Delmar, DE (7/27/12) – Even though Delmarva is in much need of rain, racers at the U.S. 13 Dragway wish that Mother Nature would pick a time other than Friday nights to try to help out.

Five cars remained in Street Eliminator.

Jr. Dragster 1 was set to be a rematch of last week’s final with Dacia Powell of Tyaskin, Md. paired against Brittany Hooper of Hurlock, Md. Four cars remained in the Jr. Dragster 2 eliminations and they were: Katie Bromwell of Seaford; Paul Riddle, Jr. of Millsboro; Jacob Bowie of Greensboro, Md. and Robynn Powell of Salisbury.
