| Saturday was a complete wash out so first thing Sunday morning the 32nd Annual Street Racer Championship was run. One shot qualifying then continuous eliminations, which saw Ian Kerr's Willys pick up beat Derek Beck's TVR in the final. It was then straight into qualifying for the Northern Drag Racing Championship classes. American Super Stock's field was slightly down on numbers, being the week after the Mopar Nationals, but it was no less competitive. Andy 'Rodzilla' Reynolds was in a very different monster this meeting, a HUGE Ford pick up but his consistency earned him pole position. Eliminations threw up some surprises, with both former champ Lee Chiles and current points leader Dan Houlston falling foul in early rounds by being a bit too eager on the line. It was a good day for the Billadeau camp all round, especially Scott who reached the final but it was Ashley Rawson who took the trophy and good chunk of points to boost his championship hopes!
Elsewhere, Steve Parfitt's Quarter Pounder VW won Pro ET while Lee Chiles beat George Chiles in a modern Charger vs Challenger face off in Sportsman ET. In Air Cooled, no one could catch Rich Johnson's consistent 21 second Beetle again, and the Hot Rod final was an encore of Street Racer, with the same result as Ian Kerr took home another trophy. The Wild Bunch also held their Summer Showdown, with Chris Hartnell with his wheelstanding Backdraft slingshot taking the win. Wayne Nicholson's Lucky Devil Pro Mod Corvette was in attendance, with Wayne scaring everyone with some VERY dramatic burnouts! Old favourite Gonzo was also putting in some test runs. |
