Super Pro
Tim Roberts with the tuning help of his wife Dawn guided his Chevy powered dragster to the top payout in Super Pro narrowly defeating Jack Vault in his Ford powered dragster. Tim used a stellar .502 reaction time to run a backed off 4.994 at 138.05 mph run on his 4.97 dial in, while Jack had to settle for the runner-up spot with a 4.736 at 145.25 mph run on his 4.73. The margin of victory for Tim was .009. Also of note this was Jack's first week back with his dragster after suffering engine damage about a month ago and he looked sharp as he ran three straight 4.73s leading up to the final round. Steve Doss continues to impress with his move into a dragster and he finished in the semi's.
