Shockley, of Lebanon, IN, won his first NHRA national event
title in Super Comp by running an 8.902 in the final to

won, he too would have claimed the coveted Jeg’s Crown

last April.
Brown, of Cass City, MI, drove his ’68 Dodge Dart
to the Super Gas title over Dale Barnard of Meadville, PA,
in a '34 Chevy. Crick, of Nortonville, KY, came from the
No. 1 qualifying position in his Super Street '70 Duster
to the winner’s circle after defeating Ray Fordyce
III in an '87 Camaro.
