Can you show up on saturday and race or do you have to run the friday test and tune in order to get in? the listing on the website say's you need a friday test and tune tech card to get in?

So who won?

Sorry I didn't get back here right away, fellas.
Final round was Jack Ward and his '67 Firebird over Al Young and his '68 Plymouth.
Turnout was lighter than hoped,,I'm thinking 30-32 cars.
Payout ended being over $2800.00 to Jack and over $1200.00 to Al and $250.00 to the semi-finalists. Hope is that this event will get bigger and better in the future.

thanks Danny,
Hopefully next time they do it on a weekend when more of us are available.

Yup, it's too bad it was the Mission Nat Open weekend. I was tempted to try to make it up for Mission on Sunday, but broke the car in Bremerton anyway. Either way it was a pretty decent payout for the entry fee!!! I jumped in my tow rig at the last minute and donated my entry fee and a buyback!

Michael,,,sorry about the Vega, but I admire how you carried on. I hurt the short block in my Nova a couple weeks before,, so I spent all day in the tower announcing. It was a fun event to witness. I've got to admit, that before eliminations began, I mentioned to the gals in the tower that I had 2 racers in mind who could win it all. One of them made it to the quarters, just out of the money, and the other was Jack, who's really been on a roll for the last year or so, including a Div.6 Pro Bracket title and a trip to Pomona last fall.
Not sure what the dates will be next year, but hopefully a little more favorable for more racers. Take care,, Danny Durham
