So to fill in for those three were James Day in Gary Turner’s “Pedaler” car, Alex Miladinovich, and Devery Howard in Jason Rupert’s “Black Plague” Camaro.

In the second and final round the air got better and the track tightened up, and some teams flexed their muscles.

Horan in his Ron Swearingen-tuned Patriot Mustang gave notice that they would be a force to reckon with at next month’s California Hot Rod Reunion as they pounded out a 5.75/247.66 to take the win over Devery Howard.
