Saturday was the final day of the event.  Many racers opted to skip the Saturday race due to threatened severe weather, but a few new cars arrived to change the complexion of the event.  The plan was to run two time trials, and then have a Chicago-style run-off between the quickest two cars in each class while other cars continued open testing.  High winds and the threat of tornadoes shortened the event, and “winners” were crowned in the classes based on low elapsed time for the first two rounds. 

Brian Markiewicz won the 10.5 trophy with a fine 4.356 at 175.71 mph.  John Kolivas won Drag Radial with a 4.88 at 155.58. 

Scott Cannon, Jr. won the quarter-mile Pro Mod class with a run of 6.022 at 244.56 mph. 

Mike Janis won the eighth-mile supercharged Pro Mod class with a 3.801 at 198.73, backed up with a 3.85 at 196 mph earlier in the day. 

Steve Vick won Nitrous eighth-mile Pro Mod with a 3.96 at 186 when Halsey had problems.  Thomas Carter won Alky Funny Car with a 5.76 at 243. 

In other action, Mike Moran attempted to collect a $10,000 bounty for becoming the first Turbo Pro Mod in the five-second zone in the quarter mile.  He made numerous laps, with one a fine 6.17 at 244.87 mph, but failed to collect the bounty.

Other good hits in Nitrous Pro Mod included Burton Auxier at 4.008 182, Brandon Switzer in Mike Castellana’s car at 3.972 at 176, and Ronnie Davis in his automatic Pro Mod at 4.23 174.  Dan Kracht ran an early shut-off 5.70 at only 216 mph for his best effort of the week in Randy Meyer’s A/FD.
