SCREAMIN’ EAGLE PERFORMANCE (11.50)
Qualifying in SEP was fierce. Just to break into the top ten a rider would have to run 11.57 or better. Danny Harvey took the top spot with an 11.50, followed by Dan Norlin's 11.51, Roger Bickmore's 11.53, Randy Monte's 11.54, and Charlie Walker's 11.55.
In eliminations not one of the top five qualifiers was able to reach the final. Instead it was Stan Sheppard and multi-time AHDRA champion Donnie Huffman who survived the longest.
Sheppard, who qualified tenth, cut a solid .055 light and caught Huffman sleeping with a .155. Sheppard's 11.51 was enough to force Huffman under with an 11.47.
SYN 3 ET
At the conclusion of qualifying, multi-class competitor and defending Super Gas champion Bob Drapp (shown) locked up the Super Gas pole position and appeared to be headed to yet another event victory. Sunday wasn't quite as fortuitous for the 9.70 champ, who was
upset early in the day. Drapp was able to bounce back with a commanding win in Syn 3 ET instead.
"I went out early in Super Gas after qualifying No. 1," Drapp said. "I was pretty disappointed. Winning ET was a nice way to end the weekend."
In the final Drapp defeated Screamin' Eagle V-Rod winner Larry Edmondson with a 9.69 on a 9.68 dial-in to Drapp's 10.90 on a 10.82.
"The final round was the closest run of the day for me," Drapp said. "We were pretty even at the finish line. Lucky for me he ran under."
