Wanganui's Dallas Rowan continued his good season with second place in a strong junior dragster field at the Tokoroa Drag Racing Thunder IV in Tokoroa.
The latest round of the NZ Drag Racing Association points score series was held at the Amisfield dragstrip on Sunday, with Rowan the sole Wanganui-based drag racer taking part.
The 16-year-old qualified third for the junior dragsters, then progressed to the final against the No1 qualifier, Wellington's Nathan Hartley.
Hartley won the final race by the narrowest of margins.
The next round of the series is the Central Nationals at Masterton this coming weekend.
