Maryland native Ronnie Procopio out-qualified 22 other bikes in Pro Comp, the eighth-mile class for nitrous Pro Mods, turbo Funnybikes and nitro Harleys. Procopio pushed his nitrous Suzuki to a 4.103 at 170.64 mph, but was nailed to the tree in the semis by multi-time Funnybike champ Keith Lynn, who won on a holeshot.

Mark Paquette, also on a turbo Funnybike, beat Frank Christian in the other semi before the rain came. Since Pro Comp doesn’t run at Rockingham, the two finalists split the purse. Procopio, Lynn, and Jamie “Track Star” Emery all set records with their various combinations.

Gadson took out points leader Eddie “Who” Chapman in round 2, thus increasing his own championship hopes. Sadly, the 47-strong field was halted then by the weather. Gadson and the other 11 riders left in split the purse and points.
