Complete Race Results

No less than 24 of the top IDRC Outlaw cars attempted to qualify in the ultra-competitive Apex Integration eight-car field. When the qualifying smoke settled Carlos Montano and his Pepe Loco Datsun had captured the number one spot. The surprise absence from the qualified field was National, Western and Central Division point’s leader Ron Lummus as a broken shifter plagued his qualifying efforts.

In the Pro Class, David Buschur worked hard in attempts to become the first 4G63 into the 7s. In the process, David defeated Craig Paisley (V8 Nitrous Tacoma) and Dennis Marquis (3-rotor Turbo RX-7) to take home the event class win. This accomplishment vaulted David past Adam Saruwatari in the National Pro Class point’s championship and also established him as the man to beat in the Eastern Division championship.

In the Quick Class, Jennifer Williams, in her InLine Pro civic, established herself as the new “Queen of the Quick” as she captured the number-one qualifying position. Current National, Western and Central Division point’s leader, Saverio Leone and his AC Autotechnic Civic, qualified in the number two spot. In the finals, the pair met. Jen managed a significant holeshot advantage and never looked back as she crossed the line almost a second-and-a-half before Saverio.

In the BFGoodrich Tires Street Class, 2001 IDRC Street Class Champion John Shepherd set a new personal best elapsed time record as he demonstrated his Talon’s consistency with 9.81, 9.82, 9.83 and 9.84 performances. Qualified in the number one spot, John faced off against veteran Vinny Ten. In what would become one of the most exciting and closest races in this class’s history, John stunned Vinny off the line with a .613 to a .810 reaction time. Through the first three gears, Shepherd was ahead of Vinny by about three car lengths. When John lost fourth, that’s when the race really became interesting. At the finish, John momentum carried him to the line first by just one hundredth of a second. 

The beasts from the East met the best from the West in the All-Motor class. In this conflict, the West proved by far to be the best as Erick Aguilar and his Honda Civic massacred the field. In the end, the InLine Pro Civic of Jeremy Allen would be Eric’s final victim in the final round. 

The Meguiar’s Movement One Car Show set a venue record with 138 show cars in attendance. Extreme Imports, X-Rated Imports, Team Hayashi, Street Dreamz, HiTek, Extreme Alliance, Team CCI and Forbidden Dreamz all had winning vehicles.

In the Pastreetracing.org SR-1 Team Drag Challenge presented by Super Street magazine, Alpha Racing defeated DMK Racing.
