Greg Bedard of Worcester, Md. took home top honors in the FWD Class running a 12.87 in the finals.
Sean Glazar blasted a 9.83 in his front-drive Mirage to take the top qualifying position in the Quick Class. Mechanical problems kept him from competing, but his 149.33-mph trap speed earned him fastest mph accolades.
This Buick should be familiar to most readers. Picture it red and driven by a guy named Duttweiler. Eric Plebani was running so well that Dave Buschur busted out the Buick to set him straight. The plan backfired and the Starion lived to see another day.
A CRX at the Diamond Star Shootout? The Honda is powered by a 4G63 and the smoke testifies that it is a rear-drive proposition.
Jack Tertadian proved again that the 3000GT/Stealth can move. His '94 3000GT, featured in Turbo a few years back, won its class with an impressive 11.73 at 115 mph.
Dan Cokic took his '90 Eclipse to the finals, but his 10.63 wasn't enough for John Shepherd's 10.12 at 142 mph.
The Wrighttouch FWD Diamond Star was on hand.
