Competition time!!!Lane choice was awarded via coin flip. The quick qualifier of the round received lane assignment based on heads being the far lane (wall side) , tails being the near lane (control side).
Both lanes remained controlled by a single controller for launch / run down the strip.
First in the staging lanes were the three cars 1/32 Pre-'90 Hot Rod class!
The elimination ladder placed Strangebrew's Duster against KY Slot Racer's Charger!
Coin flip placed the Duster in the far lane, with the Charger in the near lane.
Off the line, in this all MOPAR battle, the Charger had the jump, leaving the line like a rocket! By half track though the Duster was coming up fast and shortly after that, was showing the Charger its tail lights. On an 1/8 mile track, the Charger would have been the winner, but with the longer run - it was the Duster blowing through the lights first to take the win!
Next it was the '63 Corvette with a BYE run. After the coin flip placed them in the far lane, the SADCO Racing team wasn't going to rest on it's qualifying run - instead they dropped the hammer off the line and ran it all the way out through the big end!
For the finals, the Duster still having low ET of the eliminations, took the coin flip landing in the far lane with the Corvette in the near lane.
The Corvette got the jump out of the hole - but apparently the crew for the Duster made some tweaks between rounds as it caught the Corvette by quarter track and laid down not only it's quickest run, but that also made for the quickest time of the class in the process - taking home the win!
