IHRA veteran D’Agnolo traveled the more traditional path to victory, qualifying 16th and powering past Harry Golliday, Doug Hobgood, Brian Martel, Herbie Null Jr. and Larry Miller Jr. to pick up the win behind the wheel of his ’67 Camaro. In the final Miller had the advantage at the tree with a .018 reaction time, but he took too much at the tree running a 9.915/128.20 on a 9.94 dial while D’Agnolo ran a spot-on 9.431/133.79 on a 9.42 dial.

In the Stock final Santangelo was the only driver to use the re-entry round and come out on top in the class. Santangelo lost in round one to Mike Longhany, but bought his way back into the race via the re-entry round, defeating Michelle Chiles in the loser round and returning to defeat A.J. Currie, Jeff Gardiner, Mike Johnson and Myron Piatek to get the win. In the final Piatek was going for four in a row at MIR and look poised to do it, but Santangelo provided the upset bid as Piatek took too much at the stripe by .007 and Santangelo’s 10.615/109.32 on a 10.58 proved enough to get the win in his ’69 Camaro.

Wrapping up the weekend was Rod category winners Jake Milstead of Lexington Park, Md. in Quick Rod and Doug Wood of Massillon, Ohio in Hot Rod.

Milstead qualified 12th and provided four flawless round against Jason Parker, Wally Roberts, John Dustin, Mike Harbaugh, Chad Traylor and Bo Upton to collect the big payday. In the final Milstead saved his best for last, winning the QR Ironman with a .013 package that gave Upton no room at the stripe. Milstead packaged a .009 reaction time with an 8.904/157.15 in the 8.90 class to Upton’s 8.902/170.43.

Wood capped the weekend in his ’69 Cutlass with a Hot Rod victory over James Williamson. Wood qualified 20th and collected wins over Brian Baker, Mark Demange, Keith Mayers, Jamie Goodman and Casey Cole on his way to the final. In the final Williamson failed to show, giving Wood an easy stroll to victory.
