NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Two years after bagging his first national event title in Pomona, Paul Mitsos scored again in Top Sportsman presented by Vortech Superchargers by driving to a final-round win over Ed Olpin Sr., who was looking to join his son in the winner’s circle. Mitsos, in his Mountain View Dodge, was rock-solid in the final with a .003 start and a 6.68 on his 6.66 dial to seal the win over Olpin’s competitive .03-over 6.93 effort. Mitsos also matched his dial in his round-three bye run and defeated low qualifier Jeff Connelly in the semifinals.
