“What more could you ask for than to get a chance to race in front crowds like these,” Evans said.

In the consolation round Robin Samsel won on a bye and Jeff Hamelink defeated Mike Manners.

Pro Fuel’s first round saw some of the best numbers of the season as Evans and Domingue raced to the top of the charts. Evans regained his spot at the top of the class with a win over Robin Samsel with a fine 5.486, 250.55 pass. Domingue made a bye run and produced the second best run of the day with a 6.181, 229.29.

In the other first round pairing Hamelink raced around Mike Manners.

Palmisano’s Corvette got the Outlaw Pro Mod win over Benoit’s Camaro.

Outlaw Pro Modified produced plenty of exciting racing capped off by a victory by Palmisano (Abita Springs, La.) over Steve Benoit. Palmisano ran a 4.347, 163.36 in the eighth-mile final, besting Benoit’s 4.459, 161.23.

Palmisano defeated Bill Doucet and Jim Jolley on his way to the win.

For the second straight race one of the highlights of the weekend was the Harland Sharp Elite 8 race. Placing the top eight qualifiers from the sportsman rounds on a heads-up ladder, the shootout has created new rivalries and great racing for fans.

On Sunday Gulitti (Spring, Texas) and Bissessar (Marabella, Trinidad) proved the best of the night with Gulitti besting Scooter Hampton in Top Sportsman and Bissessar defeating John Angelle in Top Dragster.

“It was exhilarating to come out here and win the Quick 8 at a national event,” Gulitti said. “To come out here in this field with our car and win is tremendous,” Gulitti said. “I am not the fastest car out here, but we can get down the track.”

While Gulitti won for the first time, Bissessar once again dominated the eight-car field.

“We were thrilled to win the first one and to win for the second straight time is thrilling for us,” Bissessar said. “Hopefully we can keep this up and continue to win this thing.”
