The semifinals turned into the final round due to attrition. Burdine found mechanical issues and could not make the call, advancing Malloy. Bo Boles held the bye into the final but also suffered mechanical issues sending Malloy on a single and the victory.

Pro Comp rolled under the tower next and the action was as close as any. Drivers Bill Fuesting and Dale Fidler dropped identical .017 over the index passes. Per NDRL rules, the reaction time decides this and Fuesting’s .003 bulb left him on top with Fidler, Davin Reckon, Troy Wilson, and Brett Edwards rounding out the top five.

Semifinal pairings found Fidler and Reckon staging up with “Uncle Dale” taking the hit and carrying the momentum to the stripe to take the win. Don Nave was unopposed in his round advancing him to the finals.


The final was all Nave as he took the tree and carried the lead to the stripe taking his third win of this season and sealing up his second NDRL-IAM Championship. Nave ran 8.646/140.72 on an 8.50 dial to Fidler’s 9.547/139.39 on a 9.50 dial.

Quick Fuel Technology Pro Gas was last on the list to finish up the night. Hoosier driver Buddy Wray took his ’66 Nova to the point in the first session running .003 over his 9.50 index to take and hold the number one spot and the bye going into first round. 2013 NDRL-IAM champ Sam Patrick slid into second place in the second session almost bumping Wray off with a 10.006 lap. Mike Shahan, Kenny Robinson, and David Conover rounded out the top five.
