Burbage needs a little help after the fuel line problem.

In the semi Scialpi caught a huge break when his opponent Rod Burbage had a main fuel line shake loose on the burnout, and was forced to shut off. Scialpi’s ‘57 Chevy went immediately into tire shake at the green, but still took the win light.

In the finals it would be Meadors and Scialpi. Meadors had been living in the fives all day long. So with this knowledge, Scialpi knew he had to push the tree to get a starting line advantage, but the Phelan, Calif., driver cut it too close and went red.

Meadors however did not notice the red light and seeing the Wappado ‘57 Chevy out front thought he had to work hard to catch up. Meadors’ Camaro started to spin and shake, then started to drift towards the centerline and flirted with it but did not cross it and took the win.

“I never saw the red light, and for some reason I never look up at the scoreboards,” Meadors explained. 

The Pure Hell 2 Camaro started to shake violently and Meadors peddled it twice, but the car drifted dangerously close to the centerline.  Meadors gave the car one more stab, which sent the blower belt off the motor through a newly made hole in the hood.

“We both were coasting when we went through lights, that’s when I saw the win light,” said Meadors.

Meadors win almost did not happen. “We almost didn’t come here, but on Monday we decided to make the trip to this track for a couple of reasons. The track has always supported pro mods, but more importantly, we came because of the people, the fans. The fans here are just super.”
