Tommy Franklin	Jeff Cummins

The Fredericksburg, VA, electrical company owner then ran his '69 Camaro like a bracket car in eliminations, making a pair of 3.76 passes to beat Blake Housley and Jay Cox before improving to a pair of 3.74s to defeat Jeff Naiser in the semis and Jeffrey Cummins in his first Pro Nitrous final-round appearance. Plus, all four of Franklin's elimination-round passes were at more than 200 miles an hour.

"It actually hurt an O-ring early, in the first round, so it was smoking a little bit, but we managed to nurse it through," Franklin said after treeing Cummins by .032, then going 3.74 at 200.71 to take his second career Pro Nitrous title. "I'm just glad we were able to get it all in. It was tough waiting out all the rain, but everyone pulled together and we got it done."

PRO BOOST

New Jersey's Anthony Disomma shattered both ends of the Precision Turbo Pro Boost records in qualifying number one in Texas with a 3.76-seconds pass at 211.89 mph. While he ran another pair of 211-mph passes in eliminations, Disomma narrowly missed backing up the E.T. mark within the required one percent to make it an official record.

Jacksonville, Florida's Kevin Fiscus also eclipsed Disomma's prior speed record of 208.20 mph in qualifying second at 3.85 and 209.49 mph, and though he never ran faster in eliminations he did make it through teammate Jim Bell, Jeremy Ray and Kevin Rivenbark in order to meet class rookie and number-five starter John Strickland in the final round.
