1990

In 1990, Curtis Smith added yet another chapter to his remarkable history at Rockingham Dragway, a place that had become synonymous with his success.

That year, Curtis captured Stock Eliminator at the NHRA Winston Invitational, once again conquering “The Rock.” Against a stacked field of top Stock competitors, Curtis delivered the same consistency and precision that had defined his career, navigating the pressure-packed rounds and finishing the job when it mattered most.

The win further strengthened Curtis’s legacy at Rockingham, adding to a growing list of victories at the legendary dragway. By 1990, “The Rock” wasn’t just a favorite stop—it was a proving ground where Curtis Smith repeatedly showed why he was one of the most accomplished Stock Eliminator racers of his era.
