Fredy Scriba, the 2024 Pro Nitrous world champion, showed no signs of new-car blues when he rolled out his brand-new Robert Hayes-built, Musi-powered “Sorcerer” ’69 Camaro at his home race. The Millersville, Maryland-based driver recorded two of the quickest passes of the event on his way to a second consecutive North vs. South Shootout victory. In the final round, he won on the starting line when 2020 Elite Top Sportsman world champion Buddy Perkinson went red by .011 seconds. Scriba charged to a 3.653 at 207.72 to put an exclamation point on the weekend.
“It’s pretty awesome to win at MIR. This is our home track,” said Scriba, who thanked his parents and team as well as partners like Robert Hayes Motorsports, Pat Musi Racing Engines, ProWire, Menscer Motorsports, Carmack Engineering, Ty-Drive, and Liberty’s Gears. “There’s no words to describe it. If you’re going to win one race all year, this is the one to win for me. This is definitely the one. I’m just really proud of our entire team. They did an awesome job. We got the car ready, never made any laps before we came to the track this weekend. Robert did an awesome job building the car. This car drives like a dream.”
Scriba, who qualified sixth, started eliminations with a 3.652 at 206.48 over 2015 world champion “Tricky” Rickie Smith and his 3.699. A .020 reaction time and a 3.661 at 206.54 was enough to upset No. 1 qualifier Tim Paap and his 3.659 on a holeshot in the second round. Scriba ended up with a bye run in the semis, which he used to merely take the tree in preparation for the final round.
Perkinson, who was chasing his first career win in the class, qualified fourth in his Musi-powered LAT Racing Oil ’69 Camaro. He cut .00 reaction times in the first two rounds, using a 3.652 at 205.85 to beat Chris Rini in the first round and a 3.691 at 204.45 to eliminate reigning world champion Marcus Butner and his 3.699 in the second round. Semifinal opponent Dane Wood, who earned holeshot wins in the first two rounds, went red by .014 seconds on a 3.667 pass, while Perkinson raced to a 3.657 at 205.88 to earn lane choice in the final.
The Fuel injection, Ignition and Nitrous systems are all controlled by the EFI Technology R8 ECU.
