Procopio made his way to Sunday's final as well, and there he found another fellow DTM racer, Robbie Hunnicutt (shown) of Youngsville. Still bruised and bandaged after coming off of his Pro Mod on a 168 mph pass a week earlier, Hunnicutt came through for the holeshot win over Procopio.

Like Norris in Outlaw, Norman Jackson, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, qualified number one for March's HTP Performance True Street race and the April Maryland rainout. And like Norris, by the time a race was actually run the field had caught up with Jackson's early performance advantage. He lost to Darion "Nanu" Payneof Hyattsville, Maryland in round 2. Payne went on to beat Rickey Grayson, Stafford, Va., in the final, lowering the ET record and qualifying number one with an 8.18 for the May race along the way. Then Payne lost in round 2 on Sunday, while Jackson made his way to the final. It was a costly trip for Jackson, though, as the string of 8.20s he ran getting there broke his GSXR. His old K&N Racing teammate Keith Thompson of Upper Marlboro, Maryland took the win on a solo shot.

Ronnie Procopio's wife Robin beat Jim Shifflett, Waynesboro, Va., for the March Honda Suzuki of Sanford 5.60 Pro Comp win, but Shifflett won on Sunday when Gary Clontz of Wake Forest broke. Matt Davies beat his brother Clay, both from Midlo, Va., in Saturday's Nitrous Express Pro ET race, but a short time later Clay beat Christopher Harris of Wilson in Fish's Customs Street ET. Harris made it to the Street ET final again on Sunday, but he lost again-this time on a redlight to Preston Dickson, Richmond, Va. Harris and Dickson also raced for the FBR Shop Quick 32 spoils, and this time Harris took the win. And lastly, Andy Lynch of West Columbia beat Procopio's cousin Joe in Sunday's Pro ET final.
