TOP/STK -9 cars qualified. Brett McFarland in his 68 Camaro Qualified #1 10.167, Paul Boster #2.and Fred Suiter #3. Fred Suiter got the Bye into the final and Brett beat Boster. For the final Brett got a single and again made a great run at 10.16. Fred Suiter had broken his wheelie bars on the Bye giving a great full out pass with what became trade mark Wheel stand from the line. Fred finished this year as runner up at ALL the TOP/STK meets. Great competitor.
JR/STK put on a great show with 8 Qualified at our first event.Chuck Beach Qualified #1 at 10.97 in his Barracuda and Jeff Stealy close at #2 with a 11.02 in his 86 Camaro. In eliminations these two worked their way to a Fantastic Final run. When the smoke cleared Stealy won with a 11.00.to Chucks great 10.98. A GREAT RACE enjoyed by everyone. Thanks to all the racers who participated. Everyone had a great time at our first race. Now everyone has another reason to touch up their combo for this class racing type event. I will be working hard to encourage NHRA to give us TOP/STK and JR/STK at least at the Open events for 09. With your help I would like to see this added to Sportsnationals or other races where regular class might not be run.
INDY race had over 650 entries and they were working hard to get it all in. Thanks to Jay Hullinger and Rich for having our races this year.
