Gass grabs second DDC championship

By Bob Wilkiewicz

 Nostalgia Super Stock National Association
National Muscle Car Association Correspondent


MADISON, Ill. – At midnight on a soft spring Sunday night, standing side-by-side near the winner’s circle, Mike Moss said it a second before I did.

“Good things happen to good people,” said Moss, who had his own remarkable outing at the just completed ninth annual Dave Duell Classic Nostalgia Super Stock Nationals in its return to Gateway International Raceway during the Quick Fuel Technology National Muscle Car Association Nationals over Memorial Day weekend.

With his white ’66 Chevrolet Biscayne, Moss was 24 hours past his special Saturday, posting the No. 1 qualifying spot at 10.000 on his NSS/A 10.00 index and also winning the special award for best reaction time during class eliminations, posting a perfect 0.000 during his broken single final.

However by 11:35 p.m. Sunday, Kevin Gass of Ledbetter, KY had become the first two-time eliminator champion of the event, defeating Barry Dorn of Sanford FL 10.450 at 126.65 mph to 10.414 at 128.43 mph in an NSS/B 10.50 index heads-up final.

“Man, a two-time DDC champion? This is awesome!” declared Gass, who had maneuvered his red 1966 Chevelle through a 67-car field and a seven-hour rain delay to claim his second DDC title. Gass won his first DDC title at Beech Bend Park in 2011.

After going out in the second round, Moss had crew-chiefed for Gass to assist in the result. “I held the light, handled him the wrenches and mostly stayed out of the way,” said the modest Moss of Paducah KY.

It was an emotional journey for Gass, whose mother passed away six months ago. On the drivers side window, he had written the words, ‘For mother and Brad’ while in the winner’s circle.

Kevin and Kim Gass, who both work for Holley Performance Products, are among the friendliest people in NSS racing, always cheerful, enthusiastic and willing to help fellow racers.

For Dorn, it was a mostly successful outing in a new car, a ’68 wedge-powered Dodge Dart, which commanded a striking appearance in a late model yellow body color with a hood and accent graphics in black.

“I’m really a B-body guy but this one was so good when I came across it, I figured I needed to work with it and see what might happen,” said Dorn, whose event run got him to the top of the NMCA NSS season points standings.

Dorn reacted 0.067 in a semifinal bye run, his first uncontested run of the race but slipped to 0.109 in the final. “I needed to swap those two around,” he said.

Geary Bates of Winterville OH and his red ’67 Ford, battered by breakage in recent years, was the other semifinalist, falling to Gass in round six.

Jeff Frees of Hortonville WI and host Doug Duell of Newburgh IN, both with ’64 Plymouths, fought in the final of Saturday’s Opel Engineering FX Shootout, with Frees coming out the winner, 9.735 (C/FX 9.75 index) to 9.473 (B/FX index 9.50).

Duell said he was pleased with the event, which is named for his late father, in its return to GIR. “We had a good car count, mostly good weather and good management,” he said. “There was some tremendous racing by a quality field, especially on Saturday in the class runoffs. It was the right decision to come back here.”

“I got just enough good runs and just enough lucky ones,” said Gass. “It’s hard to express what this win means to me. I very much appreciate all the help and support from the entire NSS community.”
