Pure Street filled out the ladder with a field of low ten-second naturally aspirated bruisers. After three rounds of wheel-standing qualifying, Mark Anderson sat on the pole with a 10.23-second effort.

Anderson piloted his silver coupe through the field on Sunday, to meet up with former Pure Street champion Jimmy Wilson in the finals. Wilson came back hard after taking a season off, setting the class record in the second round with a 10.20 pass, and setting up an exciting final that ended before it started as Anderson tripped the Crimson Bulb of Despair, leaving the line a touch early.

The Drag Radial class is one of the toughest categories in the land, with all the competitors running on the BFG radial. For the past several seasons every racer has been trying to make it into the seven-second-zone. On Saturday Jason Lee pushed his ProCharged combination right to the edge, qualifying number one with an 8.001-second effort. On Sunday, en route to the final round, he finally accomplished what many have attempted when he ran a 7.98.

He met Sean Lyon in the final round and in an awesome race, Lee bested his previous seven, running a 7.97 to Lyon’s impressive 8.05 to take home the trifecta – Number one qualifier, the ET record, and the class win.
