As can be seen here the 521 Hemi in Frank Mamone’s Plymouth Barracuda is just about to cry enough and it was soon lost in a cloud of grey engine smoke. The car oiled the lane all the way to the sand trap and necessitated a one hour clean up. Mamone was to return but could not make the 6.16 Pro Slammer qualifying cut.

Chris Porter

Mark Drew

The bike brackets were very thinly supported with five bikes qualifying but only four Top Bikes and four Pro Bikes coming out eliminations. Class of the Top Bike field was Chris Porter whose Fraser Motorcycles’ Harley Davidson nitro sickle ran low ET of 6.66 on the way to a win over Mark Drew’s 6.981 in the final.
