Twenty years after his first final-round appearance, in Brainerd in 2003, Al Gavlovsky made good the second time around, wheeling his ’63 Corvette to the Super Gas title in a thrilling final round. Gavlovsky was a thousandth of a second from being perfect with a 9.901 while Phil Unruh was a thousandth of a second from perfection but on the wrong side and broke out with a 9.899.
