Driving his `69 Cuda, Steve Wann carded a 9.87-132.82 to upend Mike Blackstone's `90 Calais who went red by -.013 in the the Super Stock final.

Winning for the second time in three years, Rodney Lee drove his `61 Corvette to a 10.25 (10.20 index) to stop Utah's Linzi Theobald, who finished at 10.22 (in the near lane).

The distinguished Marv Rifchin who is 92 years old, M & H Tire founder, is joined here with Jack & Brett Harris, along with Firebird operator Bill New (right).

Steve Cook belted out his first 6-second performance in qualifying (6.96) to take the top spot on the Top Dragster ladder.

Edmonton's Norm LaPointe qualified 15th with his bitchin' GT/BA `05 Cobalt at 9.81.

Jeff Jackson came oh so close to winning another Super Street title, but fell in the third round with a -.002 redlight (and a perfect 11.20-148.22) against D.J. Jannuzzi.

In a terrific first round joust, Brett Harris just clipped Scott Mason in an all Utah dash. Harris nailed low e.t. of the meet at 5.90-251.88 against a tough 5.99-241.54, the first 5-second performance by Mason at Firebird.

After winning the previous two years in Sportsman Bike, Mike Scott tried to three-peat, but lost in the semi's to Danny Patridge (who hit a .001 and ran dead-on, 8.780 on a 8.78!!!)

Debuting his brand spankin' new dragster, reigning Division 6 champ Mike Henderson, fell in the opening round to Howard Johnson in Super Comp.

Local racer Terry Anderson put his `67 Nova into the #22 position in Super Stock (SS/H) with a 10.20, -.955 under his index.

Jack "the Sherrif" Harris lifted the supercharger off the "Paso Posse" Fueler in the lights, taking a very close 5.93-245.70 to a 5.99-235.84 by Mike McLennan (far side). McLennan would return based on quickest run of round one, when John Rodeck and company pulled their Fueler off the ladder. The move would help McLennan and Mike Fuller go onto win the event title.

Wayne Ryder, Baker City, Ore., had his "Cameo Express" flying at the Ignitor, posting a best of 7.25-186.64 before falling in the second round to Frank Tamez.

Qualifying 7th at 9.50 (-1.25 under his GT/AA index) in Super Stock, Byron Setters from Red Deer, Alberta, survived until round three, losing to eventual winner Steve Wann.
