Huntsville Super Chevy Nitro Coupe winner Bryan Dyar recorded a great 4.05/178.42 and then parked his “Medicine Man“ ‘53 Commander to wait for qualifying which never began.

Kentuckian and aspiring govenor of that state Billy Harper’s Viper hit a 4.13 at a whopping 183.86 mph to make a Harper team car the fastest in Pro Nitrous for the second straight ADRL event. A later 4.29/157 ended with a mortally wounded power plant and a small topend fire which resulted in minimal damage.

Billy Glidden‘s mind-boggling 4.44/160.85 shot was, by far, the quickest unblown smallblock pass ever on 10.5 tires but his string of 1.04-second sixty-feet ETs absolutely stymied even Pro Xtreme wrenches. One witness, who shall remain unnamed, admitted Glidden’s launches were quicker than his own Pro Nitrous entry adding, “…and that’s just WRONG!”.

Pat Musi’s new GTO displayed 4.15/175.74 power from its EFI-equipped 737-inch Semi-Hemi Chevy; new paint and graphics are immaculate.

St. Louis-area racer Duane Reister added a blower to his slick ’00 ’Vette for ’07 and gained his first under-1.00 sixty-feet ET, (0.997), and a 4.29/145 best while never driving the car past five hundred feet.
