It was a case of “third time’s a charm” for “Fast Freddy” Perkins, near lane, as, after a runner-up in Epping 2016 and another at this year’s Gatornationals, Perkins went the distance in Top Sportsman presented by Vortech Superchargers at New England Dragway. Perkins capped his Sunday with a 7.594 on his 7.58 dial-in abord his ’69 Nova to defeat No. 1 qualifier Dennis Gaboriault, who lost with a 6.125 on his 6.10 assignment.
