For the third time this season , past world champions Jim Halsey and Tommy Franklin squared off in the Switzer Dynamics Pro Nitrous final round . This time around , it was Halsey all the way . After qualifying No . 1 in his Fulton-powered ’ 68 Camaro , Halsey left first and fired off a 3.632 at 206 mph to beat Franklin ’ s 3.685 at 204 . Franklin ’ s Musipowered “ Jungle Rat ” ’ 69 Camaro qualified No . 2 and stepped up in each of the three prior rounds before falling off slightly in the final . Chris Rini in his Buckpowered ATI Performance ’ 69 Camaro was yet again a power player after qualifying fourth , but he just didn ’ t have enough to get around Franklin in the semis . |
Former Pro Nitrous wheelman Johnny Camp rockets to the top of the list this month on the strength of his first-ever PDRA win in Penske / PRS Pro Boost presented by WS Construction . Camp qualified second in his ProCharger-boosted “ Hells Bells ” ’ 69 Camaro and stayed in the high 3.60s on race day . He was set to face first-time finalist James Beadling , but Beadling wasn ’ t able to fire up at the ready line , allowing Camp to cruise to a 3.693- second win . Beadling in his roots-blown ’ 68 Camaro qualified No . 1 and was quickest of the second and third rounds with matching 3.674s . Kevin Rivenbark , the defending world champion , maintains his spot on the list with a semifinal finish . |
In just five races , Johnny Pluchino has turned on the final Liberty ’ s Gears Extreme Pro Stock win light of the day four times in his Kaasepowered Strutmasters . com ’ 13 Mustang . He was a killer on the tree in the semis and finals , pairing . 016 and . 015 lights with 4.08s to beat Steven Boone and Elijah Morton , respectively . The second-generation driver clinched the world championship in the process . Morton was quick all day in his Allen-powered ’ 18 Mustang , but his 4.111 in the final wasn ’ t enough . He did beat Chris Powers ’ 4.068 on a holeshot in the semis , though , taking out the low qualifier in his Sonny ’ s- powered ATI Performance ’ 14 Camaro . |
“ Finally !” is probably what was going through Wes Distefano ’ s mind when he defeated two-time world champion Dillon Voss in the $ hameless Racing Pro Outlaw 632 final round . It was Distefano ’ s fifth final in as many races this year , and he won it on a holeshot . His 4.211 in his Musi-powered $ hameless Racing ’ 68 Camaro took out Voss and his 4.207 . Though Distefano qualified No . 1 , Voss was the favorite in his Voss-powered ’ 17 Corvette after running a 4.185 in round two and a 4.168 in the semis . Consistent player Walter Lannigan Jr . drove the Nelson-powered Black Flag Motor Sports ’ 53 Corvette in the mid-4.20s all day before falling to Voss . |
Somehow , some way , Travis Davis almost always figures out how to get it done in Drag 965 Pro Nitrous Motorcycle . After fighting a gremlin in qualifying , Davis fired off a 4.069 on his Timblin-built Hayabusa to beat championship challenger Chris Garner Jones ’ 4.084 in E1 . He then ran a 4.068 next to a redlighting Gerald Smith . No . 1 qualifier Ashley Owens red-lit away his 4.051 in the final round , letting Davis win with a 4.082 and lock up his third championship . Owens borrowed a McKinney Motorsports bike for the event , riding it to a 4.052 on a semifinal single . Garner-Jones qualified third and just lined up next to the wrong guy first round , as he would ’ ve won any other pairing . |
