Pro Street Power Adder class leader Glenn Hunter's 56 Chevy was still sitting in impound, as the first session was coming to a close, and I was beginning to wonder if it was more than routine maintenance. He had ran 7.504, 7.479, and 7.534 all at 186 mph at this point for amazing consistency, and looked to be on his way to a class win until that 7.36 pass from McGilton. Tom's ZL-1 Camaro is really heavy, so despite clearly having superior MPH, the 60ft. and ET just hasn't been there...until today.

Craig Grobner brought his stunning 71 Nova around for his first pass at GLD, holding down the 5th spot in PSPA. "Stunning" has NEVER been a word I've used to describe a 71 Nova, but Craig's car, from the color, to the stance, the quality, and the fit and finish, make that description possible. Another Steve Morris customer, he was basically running the 540 Pro Charger combo that Les Smith had abandoned, but they were clearly in "let's finish and learn" mode running 8.50's in the 160 range.
