The blown finals were next with Jon Wall in the “Fireball” Monza who ran a 7.02 taking on Ron Ooms in the “Streaker’s Ride” Camaro with a 7.09. The Monza came out first with a killer burnout. The two staged and it was a race to the finish with the “Fireball” taking the win.

Bunny & the Boys had been working feverishly to try and determine what the problem was with the car as it had not run up to par all weekend. They came out one last time as the show came to an end. The spectators that were still there were treated to a fine 6.27 run as they finally fixed their problem. This is probably the quickest run in a piston driven vehicle that this track has seen in some time.

The special awards that were handed out at this year’s event included The Burnout Award given in memory of John DeCort, who ran with the GLNFCC, Supercharged Warriors and owned a local chassis shop. It was presented by Friends of John DeCort.

It is very hard to put together a report that would do justice of running 55 funny car passes in four hours. It was a spectacular show with exciting runs and beautiful race cars. You don’t want to miss this event next year so mark the date on your calendar or on your phone: May 28, 2017.
