Parrino took the win light in a double-breakout final—10.898 to a 10.864—after a mediocre .045 light to Freedle’s losing .025 light for the Bonaco Performance-sponsored event win.
John Castro finished fourth in the 07 Super Street series standings, and his win at the sixth event of the ’08 campaign moved him solidly into the top ten with two races remaining on the schedule.
Matt Blodgett went into the event as the winner of two of the previous four races and a solid lead in the standings. Blodgett suffered a second round win on Saturday, and on Sunday eventual winner Castro took out the Vega driver in the first round as Blodgett broke-out. Castro continued in eliminations with a perfect-light win over David Drew, he beat Jim Ketcher in the third round and got a bye into the final.
Guss Barks Jr. qualified number one with his trusty ’56 Corvette, and drove it to the final to match up with Castro. In round one he defeated Bob Richmond’s ’50 Ford, he got a bye in the second round, advanced as Tim Daniel was .001 too quick, and stopped event four runner-up Scott Evans with a 10.911 to 10.954 win.
