Sweet, right lane-Sweet was ahead at this point but broke and Benjamin went on to win. Also Sweet did not return and Nasty Dave matched a fuel funny from Edmonton ( Terry Capps driving) and Dave ran his best up here to win -early chutes- and he still ran a 5.62 at our corrected altitude on that day , 4900 ft,I know because I have my data sheets from that day,I was also booked in for a FM/FC match. This may have been the quickest AA/FA time at high altitude run to date. Photos and comments © Vern Scholz
