KING ED CROWNED TOP BEAVER

King Ed Fetterolf is out first with a great .011 light to Jason Weaver's .028 in his Class 1 Transport sponsored dragster. At the stripe it was the King taking the win with a 8.642 on a 8.62 at 156.90 MPH to Jason's 7.717 on a 7.70 at 177.06 MPH. The win put Ed in the field for a qualified position at the Brackets.

Hit me with your best shot. Ed told Dennis after six years of almost winning Top Beaver, just give it to me heads up. Ed said it felt really good.

The 21 car field of Triple Zero Club came down to a battle between Street points leader, Dave Weaver in his 360 Charger and Top Hot Shoe, Mike McCracken in his Big Block Nova. Dave showed why he was in the club cutting a .001 light to Mike's .049 and then running a 12.70 on a 12.66 at 106.95 MPH to Mike's run out 9.058 on a 9.10 at 148.90 MPH to take the prestigious title.

With both drivers having a .008 light it looked light a good finals in Top ET, but Jim Stover's Pinto was on the negative side giving the title to Jason Weaver. "Wonderboy" ran a 7.705 on a 7.71 at 177.27 MPH to take the title to Jim's 10.417 on a 10.46 at 128.33 MPH.

Modified was another Muscle Car final with Rick Knipe's 440 Challenger taking on Cliff Eicher's `69 Chevelle SS. With both drivers cutting .040's it was a race to the stripe with Cliffie taking too much of it running a 12.083 on a 12.10 at 112.23 MPH giving Rick his first ever winh with a 10.154 on a 10.17 at 136.54.

Bike had the best pair of lights in a final round match up between King Ed Fetterolf and Bill Bair's Screaming Yellow 'Busa.  Ed cut a .005 and ran a 8.564 on a 8.54 at 160.17 MPH to take the win away from Bill's .011 light and a run of 9.155 on a 9.12 at 143.17 MPH.

The Masters met in the finals of Street with Bud Poust in his 396 Nova facing Bob Klock in his 440 Challenger. Bud laid a .020 light on Bob's .081 and ran out the least with a 12.147 on a 12.17 at 109.02 MPH to Bob's 12.083 on a 12.13 at 107.75 MPH. Klockey is making a strong come back after suffering a fatal engine problem in series one points.

Derek Hartley is out first with his Chevette in the Hot Rod Trophy finals over Hot Rod Ray Lear. Derek got to the stripe first but ran out with a 15.368 on a 15.40 at 83.24 MPH giving the win to ray who ran a 13.173 on a 13.09 at 105.53.

TCR was a girl verses boy battle with Johnna Crone in her Monza taking the win over Mark Frank's "White Lightning" Malibu when she laid a .039 light on Mark and ran a 15.78 on a 15.74 at 80.35 MPH to Mark's 15.00 on a 14.99 at 88.53 MPH. The difference was her .039  to Mark's .179 snoozer.

Jr Dragster had a rookie take the title when Dalton Roles took the win over Caitlyn Holland with a 7.93 on a 7.91 at 75.40 MPH to Cait's 8.45 on a 8.43 at 76.68 MPH. These Beaver kids are really good.

Gentleman Jim Holland has a lot of distance to make up on Dennis Mull's Monte Carlo, but he did just that taking the Lil Beaver title in his GTO with a 10.99 on a 10.97 at 126.52 MPH to Dennis's run out 14.630 on a 14.64.
