SUPER COMP

The Super Comp or Super “Dragster” Comp class is usually filled dragsters with only the occasional door car making the field, and even when a doorslammer does get into program it usually is gone after one or two rounds. At Seattle there were two doorslammer drivers who not only made the field but went deep into eliminations: Canadian Ken Nostowich driving his 2005 Cavalier and Washington state’s Scott Sandvigen in his ’66 Chevelle.

As luck would have it after the only two ‘slammers in the Super Comp field met in the third round with Nostowich beating Sandvigen. Nostowich then went two more rounds before losing to eventual class winner Tom Malicki on a .014 red-light.

Tom Malicki

Despite the performances by the pair of door cars, Malicki and his dragster was the dominant performer at the race, winning a pair of double-breakout races in the first two rounds. He watched as three straight opponents, Eric Stroh, Ken Mostowich, and in the finals Bobby Dye Jr. red-lighted against him.

Dye knew he had to “push” the tree if he was going to win and he was right as Malicki ran a perfect 8.900/177.00 in that final round.

Greg Boutte from Stockton, CA, qualified his Worthy-Chevy with a 9.034.
