Top Sportsman went down to Sunday’s race with Mike Lucas edging out James Rutherford for the Championship.  20160904_160246Rutherford deciding to not race at the IHRA Mopar Rocky Mountain Nationals was the deciding factor.  Lucas ran all races and now has the Championship.  48 cars took points in 2016 for the most successful Top Sportsman season to date.

Outlaw 8.5 was again Mark Campbell’s to lose. 20160904_155057 Campbell, the defending 2015 Champion was set for another stellar season and he was not to be denied.  With complete all races on the season Campbell once again your Outlaw 8.5 Champion for 2016.

 

 

 

 

Open Comp came down to the last race of the season as Keith Prozni edged Dave Rutherford by a few points to be the surprising Champion for 2016.  20160904_160631At least surprising to him.  Prozni not really focused on the points championship as he was having fun just running the class.

Pro Boost class came down to the first round of the final race, as Joe Delehay was 901 points behind leader Garrett Richards.  Richards team winner 1Richards lost first round and was now wondering if Delehay could take it away.  But after doing the math, Delehay would still be 101 points shy if he wins the race to beat Richards.  That is exactly what happened!!  Joe Delehay went to the final and raced 2015 Champ Dale Pedersen in a epic final.  Could have gone both ways, but Delehay edged Pedersen at the strip on took his first win on the season.  Still 101 point shy of the Pro Boost Championship.  That amounted to 1 round and 1 qualifying position advantage for Richards.  20160904_165718
