Kevin Carter

Rounding out the Group 1 classes, Jr. Fuel went to Peoria, Arizona’s Kevin Carter, who ran an excellent 7.10/183.52 to deck number one qualifier, Don Enriquez, in the final round.

Dustin Lee got a special birthday present (January 14) by winning Nostalgia Eliminator 1. Showing up at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park with his new dragster, the former terror in Hot Rod, downed a couple notables, including Sabrina Capps, to advance to the final round.

Standing in his way was the 2015 class champion Jason Barta (shown). Unnerved, Lee took the lead off the line and stretched it out down track for a Wally-winning 7.613/176.35 to Barta’s 7.634/172.94.

Mariposa, California’s Dave Lawson motored his Tuttle-built FED over number one qualifier Jerry Espeseth to win Nostalgia Eliminator 2.
