Friday brought a picture perfect day, $20,000 from BRODIX and great racing action at Huntsville Dragway.  When the field finally was sorted out down to 4, Two Indiana boys (Aaron Vail and Cory Mong), full time bracket racer Stephen McCrory and NHRA World Champion Mia Tedesco were left to fight it out for the first "Big Check" of the weekend.

Vail defeated Tedesco and Mong defeated McCrory leaving an all Indiana final for the first day.  Vail's .011 dead 0 garnered him the first day hardware and $20k from BRODIX against Mong's right there .008 dead 6.

What has become an anticipated great time for racers who have had a tough day, the "FREE" Duck races consist of 16 random drawn racers who lost 1st round and then did not win in the re-entry round either.  At no charge to the racers, the 16 race off to the victory where the winner receives a APD Carburetor on Friday' Nights and Hoosier Slicks on Saturday Night with the runner up receiving $250 cash and the semi-finalists receiving $150.

Friday's APD Duck race saw Brad Plourd taking the win and receiving a new Billet APD Carburetor.

Saturday brought back a 2nd day of outstanding racing by some of the Nation's best Big Money Bracket Racers.  With $50,000 on the line presented by Oakley Motorsports and Johnny Ezell sitting on the 1st round bye from his dead-on Yukon Run for the Center Section pass earlier in the day, racers knew who they would have to deal with throughout the day.

With 4 cars remaining, Ezell still had an entry in, but last month's $50,000 Winner Mike Bloomfield Jr, "Sugar" Shane Car and Georgia's Jeremy Hancock had him in their sights.

Carr turned it red in the semi's to Ezell and Bloomfield took a .001 stripe against Hancock to set the stage for $50k.

In the final round it was all Ezell as he took a commanding lead at the lamp with a .006 to Bloomfield's .017 with both drivers landing over their dials.
