Super Pro
Mike Thomas picked up a dragster to campaign over the winter (it's for sale!), but he went back to his tried and true '67 Camaro and scored the Super Pro win over heavy-hitter Mark Talmadge. It was over at the start as Mark was .005 too quick on the tree and fouled away his chance for the win. Mike dialed in at a 6.42 and and slapped an awesome .009 light to get his run started and drove it out to a -.011-under,6.409 at 105.82 mph to score the win. Mike's win put him into first place in Super points, just 1 ahead of Scott Beasaw. Mark dialed in at a 6.06, but got out of the throttle and coasted to the runner-up finish. Mike stopped Jeremy Popple in a very close race in the semifinals.
Pro
Jake Lipke redeemed his first round loss, buying back in and scored the Pro purse when he stopped Rick Vittorio winning both ends of the track. Jake dialed his '82 Cutlass in at a 6.24 and launched with a .013 to .077 reaction time lead with enough cushion to chase down Rick's 6.42 dialed Mustang. Rick's .150-over, 6.570 at 108.66 mph wasn't enough to hold off Jake's .132-over, 6.372 at 95.98 mph pass.
In the semis, Jake drilled the tree with a perfect .000 light over Terry Lee's .048 and held on to the win for an extremely close win, while Rick drew the bye run into the finals.
