Like Ross, Rod has brought his small block Dart to ten of the twelve Drag Week events, only missing the first two. He's struggled in past years however, to put to together the consistent runs out of the stroker that he was able to accomplish this year. 2013's numbers were nearly identical, but he had a DNF in 2014, and was a half second slower in 2015. In 2007, with the original 340, the GTS was in the high 13s.

#22 Randy Juliani Primer Gray 66 Dodge Coronet
Day 1: 11.74-113.7
Day 2: 11.79-113.5
Day 3: 11.83-112.9
Day 4: 11.80-113.2
Day 5: 11.87-112.5
Final Average: 11.811-113.20

If the bright red paint in the engine bay is any indication to what Randy's Coronet will look like when finished, it will be stunning. The primer was a perfect, stealthy covering for Drag Week though. They announced at Columbus that this was the first car Randy ever owned, and it serves once again as a reminder of what great all around street machines the big block B-bodies truly are!

With their final averages separated by just a tick more than a hundredth, these two could have went fender to fender all week as well.
