Road Atlanta

GASCAR returned after an extended holiday break Friday night and everything returned to normal. Ford running in the back, Top lagging everywhere and messing stuff up. Nearly everyone changed cars over the break and Ford even managed to somehow change after the race began, giving up on his Pontiac after the 2 lap lagfest from Roadie and Top. On the second attempt, Top repeating his getaway from the field with the ridiculously (I spelled that right on my first attempt) fast Charger that will be garbage on any track without 2 miles of straights. With 2 laps to go, Viking was chasing down Mini who also had a shot at Super. Going down the backstraight, Mini got around the lap car of Proof as he slide off the track under braking and in the Chicane bit Proof returned to the track in Viking's door stopping an interesting battle for 4th. Besides that, it was a relatively quiet race.

The finishing order was with points in parentheses:
1st - Top Fuel (10)*
2nd - Roadie (7)
3rd - Super Demon (7)*
4th - Mini (5)
5th - Viking (4)
6th - Ford (3)
7th - Proof (2)
8th - Bad (1)
* indicates lap lead bonus
