Mickey Thompson Pro Mod champ Ronnie Procopio qualified third in an ultra competitive field. Number 1 qualifier Casey Stemper toasted a motor in the right lane in the semi, then Arabian Drag Racing League season points champion Terry Schweigert nearly spun his bike over in that lane the very next pass. The left lane was clearly the place to be for big power bikes, and that’s where Procopio was in the final against Richard Gadson (Rickey’s nephew) when he ran his fourth teen of the day (a 4.17 in the eighth mile class) for the win.

“Fearsome” Andy Baumbach took another House of Speed Crazy 8s win on his relentless march to add another sportsman championship to his amazing resume. He beat Rickey Gadson—hard working Rickey’s second runner-up of the day.
