In the final round it came down to Canada versus California with Glen Kerunsky and John Sciapli. Saving his best for last, Kerunsky laid down the new track record (remember 6,500-ft altitude adjusted) cranking out a fine 6.42, 221.78 mph over Sciapli's 1957 Chevy which popped a blower on the pass. Kerunsky moved his Calgary-based '57 into the points lead for the West Coast Pro Mod Assn. on that pass.

IN MEMORIAM

Driver Chuck Haynes made a pass in the Volcano jet dragster late Sunday evening in honor of the late Jett Field of Pocatello, Idaho who had raced his own jet dragster many times at Boise's Firebird race. (photo by Jason Ellis)
