Rosie Kossuth moved on with a nice 10.03 on her 10.00 Index over the wheel-standing Hemi Cuda of Jay Freihage. Jerry Bolton showed three-time Champion Russ Berens that his first-round reaction time was no fluke with another great .011 light.

After a quick cool down, the Victory racers returned for Round 3. Shaun Johnston coupled a .05 light with a 11.02 on his 11.00 Index to defeat Rosie Kossuth. BJ Bax continued on when Westhoff turned on the dreaded red light by .001 of a second. Jerry Bolton’s string of great lights continued with a .028 and win over Hoffman. Randy Spurgeon made good use of his bye run, running his Wedge-powered 1965 Plymouth out the back door with a 10.47 on his 10.50 Index.

With the stands filled to capacity, the Super Stocks returned for the semi-finals. Bax got a ticket to the finals when Bolton pushed the tree too hard and turned on the red light. The Spurgeon/Johnston duel was an all-out slugfest.

Spurgeon left with an incredible .002 Reaction Time, forcing Johnston to break out with a 10.991 on his 11.00 Index trying to catch him.

The finals were set, the Pontiac of Bax against the Plymouth of Spurgeon. Bax has raced his GTO for years and has been very successful lately with it. Spurgeon pulled to the line on a mission but Bax wasn’t going to go down easy. Bax got the handicap start and started his march down the track. Spurgeon left almost immediately on the green light with a .019 Reaction. Both cars charged hard down the track and when the boards lit up, Spurgeon’s win light came on as Bax broke out with a 11.249 on his 11.25 Index!

Spurgeon enjoyed the Winners Circle celebration with a large crowd of Victory NSS racers and fans. He was also proud, because he knew that his hero Arlen was smiling down on him.

The Victory Racers return to action Aug. 4-5 at the Street Car Super Nationals at Gateway Motorsports Park. They will make qualifying runs on Friday evening and will run Eliminations Saturday afternoon and evening.
