Nick Poloson

It was an all nitro burning final round and time to fire em' up. Billington and Poloson brought their ground pounding machines to the line and were given the go ahead from their crew chiefs. In one of the closest final rounds in OFAA history, Mark Billington's 3.92 at 185 narrowly defeated Poloson's 3.93 at 186 mph. Do the math on the starting line and you'll see a .006 margin of victory at the stripe as Mark Billington, Raymond and Jody Austin, and the rest of the "Magic Dragon" team scored their first ever OFAA event win in a great drag race to close the night.

Final Round Results: Mark Billington (.145 rt) 3.92, 185 def. Nick Poloson (.139 rt) 3.93, 186.
