In
this all-D/EA pairing, Calvin Hill had a great .007
light against Biondo, but Biondo has the 8.81 index covered
better and powers past Hill for the win, 8.326 to 8.507. |

Index, Final: this could be any Saturday night at Atco Raceway,
as Atco regulars Dave Harvey Jr. and Bob Sanders meet up.

Harvey
had the 'Tree .010 to .016
and wins the double-breakout. |
Now
the Sportsman winners get to do The Walk Of Fame in front
of the stands, prior to the Pro finals. This is a new thing
NHRA tried, and I think it's a great way to bring more exposure
to these racers. |

All
of the winners were interviewed by Alan Reinhart and the
ESPN camera crew. |

Sisko's
interview was the best. He had just gotten done telling
Reinhart that he's a bracket racer at heart and dedicated
his win to all the bracket racers out there. Reinhart tries
to draw him in by saying, "But now you're a Super Comp
racer, right?" Without missing a beat Sisko fires back
"For today I am." CLASSIC! |
