Bob Lascak got his fourth straight Supercharged Warriors
Racing Series win, continuing to dominate the series. His
"Wicked" Vette was top qualifier at Kil-Kare Dragway's
Buckeye Nationals, running a 5.01 on the 4.99 index. In
the final round, Lascak (far lane) took a reaction time
advantage and ran a 5.02 to beat Mike Himes' 5.04. (photo
