Dallman showed Brady a better reaction time in round two, taking the win.
Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre, and Carly Ellingson, of Rapid City met in the Creative Cuts/Truck n Carwash Junior Shootout final, with Geuther taking the win. Ashley Holm, number one qualifier, drew the red bulb, in round one, against Jonathan Geuther. Ellingson would use a great .009 reaction time to defeat Jonathan in the second round.
Nostalgia Pro One paired Jon Kostelecky , of Dickinson, ND , and Ray Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, in a best of three match. Kostelecky won all three rounds, to take the title. Fuchs claimed the "Best Burnout" award, with his smoky, loud 1/8th mile warmup.

Trujillo, of Gillette, WY, and a regular competitor at Oahe Speedway, brought the Corvette to Oahe on July 3rd, for testing. In only his second run, he was able to push the roadster to 9.873 seconds, at 155.49 MPH. The following weekend, Trujillo travelled to Seattle, to compete in the NHRA Northwest Nationals, qualifying fifth, in the 50 car field. The race weekend was over for Trujillo, following a red light start in the second round. Now the story gets interesting. Following Seattle, during a stop at Douglas Motorsports Park, in WY, a run in with an antelope, at 150MPH, almost ended this tale. The altercation left Trujillo without a National Dragster Challenge Super Pro Wally, and a wounded left front quarter panel on the Corvette. Trujillo hit the road the following weekend, for the Mile High Nationals, at Denver. Quick repairs to the Corvette, and an early round loss, gave him time to regroup and catch his breath. Next up, Cordova Dragway, and a Lucas Oil Division 5 tour stop, should have been a quick I-80 commute across Nebraska and Iowa. The trip was uneventful until the last 60 miles. A blown left front tire on the toter and a visit to the ditch, created some anxious moments. Despite the potential for disaster, the wreck bruised the toter, but did not end up in a rollover. A long tow into Cordova ended another day on the road. Upon closer inspection, the Corvette survived the wild ride, but the Super Comp rear engine dragster did not. Dustin Long, of Mitchell, was able to put the dragster back together. Despite the thrash, neither car made it to the winners circle, at Cordova. On to Brainerd, for the Lucas Oil Nationals, this past weekend. Surviving seven rounds of Super Gas competition, Trujillo took his first National event Wally. An eventful six week journey paid off on Sunday afternoon.
