DERRIC BARR AND LARRY LANCASTER GRAB KING TITLES

The 5th Annual American Classifieds Fall Swap Meet enjoyed a perfect weather day as temperatures climbed into the upper 80’s under sun filled skies. The event featured thirteen different eliminators and a strong turnout of racers on the final Saturday of September. Two major runoffs were contested during the event as the NHRA King of the Track (for an NHRA Wally trophy) and King Kong showdowns took center-stage at day’s ends.

Congratulations to both Derric Barr and Larry Lancaster for pulling off the King of the Track and Kong Kong titles, respectively. Super Pro winner Barr stopped the Pro champion David Deming, while Lancaster, the victor in the 110 MPH & Faster grouping bested Lisa Johnson, the champion of 103-109 MPH eliminator.

With one race remaining on the Boise Muffler/Auto Body Paint & Supply Gold Cup Point’s Series (offering premium points at Classic XVI), the top-ranked racers include Steve Lambert (Super Pro), Jerry Hodges (Pro), Joe Witherspoon (Sportsman), Craig Jensen (Snow/Bike), Alex Steen (Jr. Lightning) and Michael Jaggers (Jr. Thunder). It was a very exciting day of action at the last “round-point” event of the season.
