World Ford Challenge 9 - Nine Was Divine

Larry Cleek of Wichita, Kansas, was cutting great lights and being deadly consistent all day until he met Robert Hindman in the Open Comp final. Cleek's '70 Mach 1 Mustang was slow off the line and broke out at the stripe with a 10.83 pass on a 10.86 dial-in, handing the win to Hindman.

The battle of the black smoke giants saw David Lott at the top of the qualifying chart with an 11.70 run in the FTP Ford Diesel Challenge. Buford, Georgia's Tim Olsen (pictured) had other plans, though, and took home the loot after driving his slammed F-350 dually to the win.
