Two six-second cars were in the finals of the No E class. The 1969 Camaro driven by Dallas Moon of Barling, Ark., was up against the 1970 Nova driven by Tulsa's Robin Phelps. Moon left first and Phelps tried to run him down, but could not catch him.
In the Super Pro finals, it was Tim Woods of Claremore driving his Mustang that was running in the 6.70s against the small block Chevy-powered rear engine dragster of Randy Carlile. Woods left first on the tree and took the stripe for the win.
The big news of the night were the "midnight" races, which were run for the first time. It was a huge success with more than 40 cars at the "races after the race." All of the midnight racing is heads-up start. One of the highlights was a race between Arkoma's Brent Reed and Poteau's Glendon Williams. Reed was in his 454 cubic inch small block Camaro running on nitrous. Williams had just his 1970 Nova back from the chassis shop with a new four link suspension system. Reed took the win with a run of 5.46 to Williams' 5.53.
Beside those tube-frame wonders, there was a bunch of six and seven-second cars. Woods Brothers will run this program every Saturday after the bracket races are completed. Anyone wanting to race heads-up in their street or race car is welcome to attend.
