Friday’s Midwest Super Comp Association battle produced two altereds in the final round; Pat LaMont’s carbureted ‘23 T won a double-breakout finale over 2003 winner Joel Fritz’s fuel-injected version. On Saturday, Jeff Spierling took his I-39 Raceway Park dragster to the title over long-time MSCA mascot Rich Kwasiborski in another double-breakout match. The “Kwas” hit an 8.900 in the semis over the only other driver to clock one during the
weekend, low qualifier Mitch Meier.
