In the final round, side by side burnouts kicked off the action under the lights as McSwain's blown alcohol entry and Poloson's nitro burner crept into the stage beams. McSwain took the starting line advantage and never trailed as Poloson quickly found the limits of his clutch pack and was out of the throttle at half-track. McSwain lit the scoreboards with a 3.96 at 183 mph winning pass to score his first OFAA victory since June of 2014, taking the winning hardware back to Lone Star Forklift to showcase on Monday morning. Poloson coasted to a 7.49 but had a solid outing and with all the action at the season opener, the 20th Anniversary season is sure to provide intense racing action all season.
