Compton beat Lelsz and Houck to meet Jones
in the final. Compton has been cutting some
pretty super lights recently and this was another
one decided at the tree. Compton was the winner.
In the BFGoodrich Tire Drag Radial class, there
is one name that stands out from all the others,
and that of course is Dwayne "Big Daddy" Gutridge.
As usual, Big qualified No. 1 with an 8.303/175.68,
a new mph record if he could back it up. In
the finals it was Big over Manny Alvarez. Looks
like Big Daddy intends to bust his own records
at every event. Imagine, 8.2's on a DOT tire.
