Brian Meine's Kentucky '66 fastback, which won Joliet Open Comp title in 2003, shows typical OC launch technique. Index racing on a Pro Tree demands a hard hit and a high-revving 418-inch small block.

Randy Henry's 1966 F-100 took 10.20s at over 132 mph to the runner-up spot in Detroit Locker Truck/Lightning division with 430-inch big block.

The crowd-pleaser of all entries in the Truck/Lightning division, Bob Schulty's Iowa-based '55 F-150 with blown 600-inch wedge power clocks easy 9.0s at over 150 mph.

Rich Kent's magnificent fuel-injected, winged '73 Pinto won SuperChips Bracket One for the third consecutive year with a perfect 0.000 RT in the final. Kent's Ford racing dates to Oswego Drag Strip in the 1960s where he often lined up with current Route 66 Raceway Tech Inspector, "Animal Jim" Feurer!
