Then at 3:30pm Outlaw Pontiacs took the track with Wayne Skelly over Jeff Mason while Annette Peer taking third. Pro class with 94 entries was won by Brandon Michaels over Kevin Hamilton. Super Pro had 78 entries with Keith Forman over Stacy Johnson. Sportsman was won by Ed Talbert over brother Jamie Talbert. Ed also won the King of the Track Wally with his best winning package. Lastly the fast 40 car field of Southern Outlaw Top Sportsman had Stacy Johnson over Doug Farace. Both cars ran low 4.50s @ 157 mph all day long! We finished very late in the evening….another chilly night by the time we finished up. How about 282 racers and lots of race fans too! Great event for sure.
Sunday. — August 3rd
Today we got going with Junior Dragsters at 10am with 21 entries and first time at Mason Dixon, Alyssa Tilghman winning out over Cameron Boyd with Harley Ely taking third. At 12:30pm the big cars took the track. In Pro Dicky Bodmer won over Kevin Hamilton. Super was won by Lindy Herman over Adam Keir. David Myers won over Ed Talbert in Sportsman.

Short version, great racing all three days, much better turnout than we have had lately. It’s been so hot or rain or threatening rain for the last four weeks which slowed us down, this weekend the weather was exceptional. We had a dynamite track as our faster cars and the Southern Outlaw Top Sportsman racers tested it well, all hooked hard and ran their dialins round after round. A big thank you goes to Butch Long and track owner Elmer Wachter for doing a lot of the announcing with me all three days. Newman Sisk did the invocation both days before eliminations and Chris Crawford performed RFC chapel service on Sunday. Thanks guys.This weekend has a Friday night Test & Tune and Street Nite on Saturday. See you this weekend at Mason Dixon Dragway!
