Pulde brought Dan Horan's '66 Mustang, which is draped over a '94 Murf McKinney chassis. Horan was unable to attend due to illness and as a result Pulde and his girlfriend, Valerie Harrell, were the whole crew.

Pulde tuned, drove and did between round maintenance. He ran a couple of 6.25 times in qualifying, and a 6.341/226.35 in the final got him the win over Randy Walls. Not a bad couple of days for a guy who had came to the race figuring on only tuning a car, not doing everything.

Mike Adams didn't cash in due to a bizarre set of circumstances. He made a 6.26 checkout pass early on that didn't count as a qualifying lap but did do some damage to the drivetrain of the hemi-powered 'Vette. He also had a malfunction on the only qualifying pass he did make, so he didn't qualify for the quick four run-off. He did, however, come back and make a third pass and ran the quickest pass ever for a VRA-legal car at 6.083/230.02. That run is even more impressive when you consider the car was restricted to a 6.71 supercharger, 18 gal fuel pump and a 3-4 amp magneto.
