After a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia finally got the 2020 Summit ET Drag Racing Series season underway on Saturday by holding a pair of full events.

Blain Mayer opened the season with his first win in the Super Pro division in the first event. Mayer, of Woodstock, Georgia, defeated Don Brown, Jr. of Buford, Georgia in the final.

Mayer dialed in a 4.80 and ran a 4.814 ET at 144.66 MPH and a 0.003 reaction to Brown’s 4.50 and ran a 4.506 ET at 151.09 MPH and a 0.011 reaction.

The second event of the day came down to a battle of hometown heroes, as Gary Dunn and Ashley Hancock, both of Commerce, faced off in the Super Pro final.

Dunn got a perfect reaction time to score the win, with both cars running one over their dial-in. Dunn dialed in on a 4.46 and ran a 4.479 ET at 154.72 MPH and a 0.000 reaction. Hancock dialed in on a 4.70 and ran a 4.717 ET at 145.70 MPH and a 0.010 reaction.
