Joe DaSilva added a little extra "spark" to the racing.

In the ProCharger Street Outlaw class, there were two turbo cars, one nitrous car and one supercharged car. Bill Glidden arrived at the track late and made the final qualifying session with a standout run of 7.039/194.66. Chip Havemann, Travis Franklin and Terry Strange rounded out the field. Two guys from Texas and two guys from Indiana.

On Sunday, it was Havemann (photo) over Strange and Glidden over Franklin. Glidden had to install a new clutch after his 7.0 run and if Franklin's transmission hadn't gone away, he might have had a good shot at the win. In the finals, it was Havemann

(7.563/183.10) over Glidden's tire shake 7.942/157.59.

Jumping to the Edelbrock Street Bandit class, the first three qualifiers, Rod Houck (8.685), Matt Jones (8.696) and Ken Compton (8.725) all qualified under the official FFW e.t. record (8.726 held by Jones) and Jones (156.50) also was over the mile per hour record (held by him at 155.94) too. These records seem to rotate between these guys at each event. Cale Aronson and Richard Lelsz (new car) were also in the field.
