NIGHT UNDER FIRE
AA/Gas was to feature a battle of the Anglias,
but Brian Spotts secured the win at the starting
line and then sailed to an 8.50 after his competi-
tion, Al Borowski, turned on the red light.

Dragster drivers added another element to the
show, and in the Advanced category, Bryce Bueh-
rer won with a 7.93 on a 7.90 dial and a better
reaction time over Kaitlyn Curtis, who ran right
on a 7.91 dial. Meanwhile, in the Intermediate
category, Tyler Crowell cruised to the win with
an 8.95 on an 8.93 dial over Brandon Buchanan,
who had him on the tree but dipped under with
a 9.05 on a 9.06 dial, and in the Novice category,
Roman Iocoangeli was ready at the tree and at
the top end, and clocked an 11.95 on an 11.90
dial to take the win over Nick Peters, who had a
break-out pass of 11.97 on an 11.98 dial.
The final pair of cars down track for the evening
were met with elaborate and explosive trackside
pyrotechnics and a $100,000 fireworks display
shot from multiple locations over the park.
Preparations have already begun for next year’s
event, and to know Bader, Jr. is to know that he’s
focused on how to make it even more explosive.
