Mike Loge came into the Sonoma Super Stock final with a wealth of experience, including wins in his three most previous national event finals dating back to 1986. Loge, in his California Missile Barracuda, ran his record to a perfect 4-0 in national event finals after a great side-by-side final-round race against Dennis Paz’s El Camino. Both drivers were nearly perfect off the starting line, and Loge got to the finish line first with an 11.154 on his 11.12 dial. Paz was just a few feet behind with an 11.432 on his 11.38 prediction. Loge also put together a remarkable run in the quarterfinals with a perfect .000 light and an 11.005 on his 11.00 dial to freeze out five-time world champion Justin Lamb.
