Also providing exhibition entertainment was the never before seen “Anger Management” 150-inch wheelbase blown altered of Len-Mar Motorsports, driven by TOPMA regular Steve Wiley, who clicked off 4.40 and 4.38 passes.

Those lucky enough to find a spot amongst the crowd in the pits were treated to a header flaming exhibition by the cackle cars and shortly afterwards the feature machines were back in the lanes.

The Outlaw Fuel Altered of Jimmy Jones.

Jones was looking to even the score with Smith in their second run. The ear piercing scream of two of the baddest blown alcohol Hemis on the block brought fingers to the ears of the fans who were laying down their bets and cheering on their favorite. Jones knew he had to be on the tree but gambled and went red, tossing away a wild guardrail to centerline and back 3.92 at 183-mph pass with Smith right along side in the Vette.

Copeland and Chandler were up next and both cars were on and off the throttle in a Friday night pedalfest. Copeland technically took the win after blazing the hides at half track and pedaling it through the lights, a spectacular sight considering the narrow lanes of Texas Raceway, but all competitors of the B.H.R.A. Nationals are considered winners by providing the fans with white knuckle, tear jerking nitro powered entertainment.
