Doug Gall

And indeed, Doucet’s tire spun like it hadn’t all weekend after nailing a stunning .004 light. But Gall was struggling with an opposite problem in the right lane, wheelieing through most of the eighth mile. In the end it was Gall’s winlight that came on with a 4.75 to Doucet’s 4.81.

As what happened in Pro Open, the Quicktime Motorsports/Lindeman Performance Pro Ultra 4.60 win went to a local team, and also at the expense of Nashville’s Fast Time Motorsports. Decatur, Alabama’s Mantez Thompson ceded the tree to Fast Times’ Chase Morris .023 to .018, but took the stripe 4.65 to 4.69.

NHDRO double champ Dustin “Tennessee” Lee took home two wins from Huntsville— Crazy 8s and Millennium Trailers Super Comp. Ben Smiley’s .130 light doomed his final round campaign from the start, with Lee’s .037 and 5.79 sealing the deal in the 5.70 index on the eighth mile.
