SATURDAY, May 19

A late night on Friday saw the finals completed at 12:45 in the wee hours of Saturday morning. In addition to Dabney’s win, Dustin Dodgen defeated John Labbous Jr. in the McCarty Auto Parts Door Car Shootout. Wesley Washington then defeated red-hot Cameron Manuel in the American Race Cars/Racetech Dragster Shootout with both final round competitors winning a dragster of their choice.

The Saturday main event hosted an almost unbelievable 459 cars with 124 of them being door cars.

There were so many dragsters, they were called to the staging lanes by odd and even number cars!

Prior to eliminations, the Spring Fling $20,000 Challenge took place with 20 names randomly selected from their Tech Cards. Each driver got one shot at the Christmas tree. Anyone of them with a double-zero reaction time would receive $100 cash. A perfect triple-zero reaction time would earn a cool $1,000. At the end of the session, seven drivers who scored a double-zero reaction time left the time slip booth with a one hundred dollar bill. There were lots of near perfect reaction times but no one walked away with the $1,000.
