24: OSO Unlimited Champ and guy who won pretty much everything all weekend long, Stan Mazur in his ProCharged BB “Troublemaker” Camaro.
23: OSO Unlimited competitor Guy Lamontage made the long haul from Quebec, and brought an old RPM MAG friend, Steve Argiropoulos, to help crew. It looked like Grey Area treed Elder and ran away with it from there. All the while, the Mustang was reeling Ian in, though, but the eighth-mile stripe comes early and the black Camaro lead by a half car, as Jeff just needed more track to get the job done. A big congratulations to class champions Jeff Vance and Ian Hill and to finalists

ONTARIO STREET OUTLAWS
The Ontario Street Outlaws (OSO) led by Paul Norris brought a fresh and sometimes controversial form of action to the SMACKDOWN with their no-time Miska

If you
do not come out at all then you are off the list and must start at the bottom next race. For the Miska Trailer Factory List classes, going into the SMACKDOWN, Bryon Terveld in his 598inch Shafiroff-built nitroused big block Chevy ’83 Olds Cutlass was gunning for the number one spot on the 905 list but Jason White was able to
