Picking up his first Mad Dawg 4.50 victory out of 19 dawg entries was J.P. Miller of Waynesboro, VA in his “Skull Crusher” Wilkins Powered Chevy Beretta over Hernshaw, WV’s Jay Kirk in his ’68 Chevy Camaro. The reaction times was nothing to brag about as both finalist was late at the tree. Kirk had the better light but got beat out with Miller’s 4.5057 ET @ 155 MPH run to nip the Chris Cline Race Cars Camaro in the lights.
The regaining Mad Dawg Champion Tim West of Asheville, NC put in his best performance of the year with a great semi-finals finish in his Fulton powered Jim West & Sons ’63 Chevy Corvette.
Taking the Garry”Hooter” Hoots #1 qualifying honors was Tim Siler of Maiden, NC in his Siler Motorsports 1950 Studebaker with a great -.0005 off the 4.50 index mark run.
Mr. Showtime Siler would make it to the quarter-finals were Kirk ended his charge.
The “GunSlinger” Andy Beal would be the other quarterfinalist in his all motored Beal Racing Engines ’63 Chevy Corvette.
