Avenal Sand Drags in Avenal, CA witnessed some great racing action on Sunday in all classes. Dennis Rieck set a new track record with a 2.245 on his Sunday morning qualifying pass. Unfortunately Dennis was unable to set the new World Top Fuel record, but he definitely put on a great show for the Avenal fans. Another crowd pleaser was Gary Mink coming back from a broken transmission on his one qualifying attempt to win a close battle with David Morton 2.56 to 2.60. Top Eliminator didn’t disappoint with an out of control final round seeing Paul Taylor edge out Jim Rossi 2.97 to 2.98. Bob Cambridge made his first trip to Avenal pay off with his Pro 1 Dragster as he took the class win over Steve Foster Sr., and bagged the Quality Aircraft Care/Hammer Down $500 Bonus Bucks award. Another big winner was Charlie Johnson as he ended up on top in the conclusion of Saturday’s 38 entry strong Pro Gambler class. Other winners on the day included Oregon’s Jim Smith (Pro 2), Eric Moran (Pro 3), Ron Garnas (Motorcycle Pro 1), Taylor Holmes (Motorcycle Pro 2), Bill Meaney (Sportsman Gambler), Marcus Lancaster (Pro 4), Ryan Rodriguez (Junior Dragster), Preston Boespflug (Juniors 1), and Cheyenne Hartman (Juniors 2).
