NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Two-time national champ Bruno Massel Jr. has 13 national event wins after driving his turbocharged Blackfire I/Dragster to the Comp title. Massel qualified No. 5 and avoided a significant index hit on his way to the final. The indexes became somewhat irrelevant after Massel grabbed a huge lead at the start with a .005 light against Shawn Vincent and powered to the title with a (-.486) 6.764.
