Joining Coltrin was Scott Burton and Jeff Lane who took home trophies in Stock and Comp Eliminator respectively.  Burton, Golden, Colo., faced off with his son and former division champion Brad Burton with dad getting the best of Brad in his ’70 Formula crossing the finish line in 10.637 at 109.55 mph.  Brad, Snohomish, Wash., came across in 10.890 seconds at 118.96 mph.  Five-time division champion Lane out of North Bend, Wash., had more than enough power to hold off Dale Giroux, Canyon Creek, Alb.  Lane took the early lead and never looked back posting a run of 8.156, 148.95 in his ’10 Chevrolet.

Defending event champion Dan Provost, Abbotsford, B.C., won again in the Rig Rentals Top Dragster class while Jake Neibauer, Billings, Mont., won in the RH Race Cars Top Sportsman.  Provost had a big holeshot with a .001 second reaction time to win over John Chitwood, St. Helens, Ore., in 6.713 seconds at 199.05 mph.  Neibauer was out first on Ed Olpin and held on for the win in his ’63 Corvette at 7.103, 187.86.
