Statham, GA's Rob Hale said his 1966 Chevy II was carrying a wounded cylinder, but still thought it would've beat Barfield in the 10.5 final had it not been rained out.
Tom Waters made the trip north from Orlando and made it all the way to the Top Sportsman final with his '86 T-Bird, where he was scheduled to meet fellow Floridian Larry Hutcheson.
David "Big Wig" Wiggins, from nearby Hawkinsville, GA, entered his street-legal(!) 1937 Chevy in Top Sportsman and qualified with a 7.866 pass at 170.56 mph in his first attempt at racing it on pure slicks. Wiggins lost in the opener on Sunday, however, to eventual finalist Hutcheson.
Number-one qualifying honors in Limited Street went to Shannon Ragsdale and his 1995 Corvette. Ragsdale made it through three rounds before reaching the pre-empted final against number-two qualifier Mike Hill, an Outlaw 10.5 regular whose primary ride is temporarily out of commission for repairs.
Only the 6.0 final was completed at Reynolds, with Michael Strickland from Alma, GA, taking home the win with his '95 Camaro over a redlighting Denardo Barron. The 7.0 finalists were David Johnson in a 1985 Mustang and number-one qualifier Grady Robinson in his '69 Nova.
