The Borla Street Renegade class and the UPR 7-Second Club have been getting a lot of attention lately and the Orlando event was no exception. No one has been inducted into the Club yet, but it was close. Crede Young qualified on top in the eight-car field with an 8.099/167.81. And in the finals, it was Young beating Jimmy Black with another 8-second run (8.079). A 7.99 is just a whisker away.

The Edelbrock Street Bandit class had Matt Jones and Rod Houck qualifying numbers 1 and 2, and that’s exactly how they finished in eliminations, too. Jones’s winning time was 8.513 at 160.28 mph over Houck’s losing 8.574/159.06.

In the hotly contested Blow By Racing Street Warrior class, it was 2004 Champ Darrell Peterson qualifying No. 1 with an almost unbelievable 9.566/137.86. Right behind at 9.782 was Jeremy Martorella. Martorella broke in the first round so the fans never had a chance to see a match up between the two racer. Peterson took care of a very able John Scaro (shown above) in the finals, with a 9.654/137.09 to Scaro’s 9.876/137.93.

The Steeda/Hyland Mod Motor class had 43 entries vying for the big money. The ET range was 10.054 to 13.916, with anyone and everyone having an equal chance. Not to be denied, however, was Alabama’s own, Gary Youngblood. Runner-up was James Meredith out of Katy, TX.
