The light is red for northern racers until next season.

The Terrace Drag Race Association held the final event of the 2013 season, the Season Ender, in Terrace over the Labour Day long weekend to determine the winners of the association's yearly points series.

The Season Ender kicked off on Saturday, with racers competing to earn the final points of 2013.

The event wrapped up the points series, with Prince Rupert's Ed Evans taking the top spot in the Pro Class. Evans won the Pro Class race at Hot August Nites, and placed second at the season's opener this season, maintaining the points series lead following Hot August Nites.

Evans said the win felt good considering he won his first race in the Sportsman Class last year, before they merged two classes together into the faster-Pro Class.

"I figured I wouldn't have a chance. Winning one race and coming in second for another is really spectacular. I feel great," Evans, who drove his '81 Camaro, said.

In the Super Pro Class, Kitimat's Bruce Daum placed first, followed by Kris Barnett from Terrace. Harley Bell from Kitimat took the bronze spot.

Kitimat's Randy Baker raced his way to first place in the Pro Class, with Terrace's Doug Mcphadyen taking the second place spot, and Terrace's Bill Boutilier placing third.

In the Junior Dragster Class, Quinn Amado from Kitimat won the final points race of the season, followed by Kitimat's Tanner Daum, and Terrace's Massimo Dalla Vecchia.

Kitimat racer Bruce Daum earned the most points in the Super Pro Class over the season, with his son Tanner Daum winning the most points in the Junior Dragster category.

On the Sunday of the Season Ender, the King and Gambler races took place with no Prince Rupert racers placing in the races.

Terrace's Larry Craig won the King of the YXT, with Kitimat's Tanner Daum winning the junior category. Terrace's Steve Burkett won the Gambler race.
