Since Dale ran the Gremlin NA at Drag Week 2017, he had a complete and ready to race car when he returned to Owasso. He wasted very little time taking advantage of that as he attended the Throw Down at T-Town event in mid October. He hooked up the twin NOS Big Shot plates under the Dominators on his Indy Tunnel Ram as soon as he got home, and drove the car out to Tulsa Raceway Park that Friday to join in on the fun.

The facility is only seven miles from Dale's house, so he enjoyed making a grand entrance, and driving through the gate Drag Week style to park alongside all the trucks and trailers. He raced in the 6.0 class, and found that about 1 second of nitrous on the timer was all he needed to be holding a little at the stripe. It worked all the way to the final, until he got treed and had to settle for a breakout runner-up.
