PLEASE NOTE: This coverage was started but never completed due to the fact the result sheets were all messed up. Sorry, but when frustration reigns...we quit.
The Top Fuel final had veteren Ron Houneit in the near lane against rookie Jason Arkenstall who took his first win with a .131/6.939/200.98 as Houneit drifted towards the centerline on way to a .140/7.049/200.75. In round two it was Arkinstall who took out Brian Hall, who, up to this race, had been in the points lead. That makes it EIGHT in a row for the Maple Ridge rider who ran a personal best 6.640 to lead the 14 bike field in qualifying Saturday. Meanwhile Arkinstall, who qualified third at 6.938/203.52 proved to be the day's most consistant performer running sixes in his final three races with his round two 6.810/204.96 the day's best pass.
Pro Modified was a great show that saw Kelowna's Gord Smith take the win on a single when Waukesha Wisconsin's Tom Bradford could not make the call. Smith was a speed demon after qualifying with a 7.510/193.42 followed it in eliminations with runs of 7.78/191, 7.42/192 and a final round blast of 7.60/193! Bradford's 2003 Buell was unreal with a 7.341 to lead qualifying.
