Meanwhile, 100 miles north at Wild Horse Pass drag strip, the NHRA hosted the first Nostalgia Race of the new 2017 season. In a big surprise, John Harless drove Jon Brook’s A/Fuel dragster to the top spot. The team hails from Tulsa, OK.

Traveling down to Phoenix from Wales, Utah, Roger Turley drove his colorful roadster to the Nostalgia III title. Turley is no stranger to the NHRA Heritage action as he won season titles in 2013 and 2015.
