Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals Stock and Top Dragster winner Jeff Strickland
After winning the Stock and Top Dragster titles a year ago in Gainesville, Jeff Strickland turned in an encore performance in Norwalk when he drove his GMPartsNow.com Camaro to the Stock title. Later in the day, he claimed a second Wally in the Top Dragster presented by Racing RVs class. The Stock win came at the expense of ageless veteran Jim Boburka, who spun the tires at the start and ran well off his 9.51 dial. Strickland returned a while later to stop Kathy Fisher in the Top Dragster final, winning with a 6.338 on his 6.44 dial. Fisher, driving one of the quickest cars in the class, broke out with a 5.995 on her 6.00 dial.
