The second annual GALOT Motorsports Pro Mod Reunion race was held on the eighth-mile at Farmington Dragway in Mocksville, NC, on Saturday, October 4. The "Carolina Kid" Travis Harvey scored the win over Todd Tutterow.

"First I want to thank God for letting us be here," exclaimed Travis Harvey. "The last few months have been terrible for us. We’ve just been breaking parts. We broke a motor at Big Dog. We finally got the car figured out to go down the track from A to B. It’s been really good to us."

After the third and final round of qualifying Tutterow grabbed the pole with a lap of 3.854 at 194.77 mph. He picked up an additional $500 as number-one qualifier and set top speed with the run. Also during the third round of qualifying Tutterow received $1,000 by winning the Sammy Phillips Electric burnout contest. He did a burnout that carried him past the 660-foot mark.

Harvey qualified his Camaro second with a time of 3.887 at 194.28. GALOT Motorsports Team member Kevin Rivenbark put his Firebird third with a 3.934 at 188.05. Right behind were Jr. Ward’s Corvette with a 3.935 at 188.75; David Monday’s Corvette at 4.035/183.49; Jeff Miller’s Camaro at 4.098/174.12; Wayne Hawkins’ Camaro at 4.228/170.37; and Chad Morrison’s ‘57 Chevy at 4.305/166.83.
