Welllll.....
Bud ran 11.00. Mark made a spacers for under the gas pedal to slow the car down. the first made the car go 10.90. The 2nd 11.40. The third made the car un 11.01.
He made it all the way to the finals and lost with a 11.01.
Dusty took his TA and ran 14.00. He sandbagged his way to a runner-up win also against Jason Phillips.
Dusty rode "The Punisher" In the 9.50 class. He beat several riders including Charles Willis. In a bye run he ran 9.39!!!
I think he ran Nelson on the ZX14 in the finals. He won the event.

Jason Phillips won 14.00. Dusty Katich 2nd
Paul Hagen and his kid ran the finals in 13.00. The kid won.
Matt Gosch the HS champ won the 12.00

Hey Mark, yes Dusty is The Man. We were ready to tease him if he couldnt run that quick, but he backed up his words, and did what he said he could do. I think we should wash his car or something. I live too far away, so you wash it and I`ll send you a couple bucks ;D

I don't know about washing his car but somehow every winter I find these 2 dirty, used up, scratched up R1's in my garage. This just doesn't seem right. I let him race my bike and in return he lets me clean and fix up his 2 bikes. I'm no rocket scientist but I just might be getting the short end of the deal here.

If you go to Brett Kepners photo web site you will see pictures from sunday when he was doing 300' wheelies at full throttle. I don't think I've seen that bike go that high for so long down track, it was cool.

I have this vague memory of running water line in a dark damp crawl space last fall and it wasn't even my house. |

MADISON, Ill. - Gateway International Raceway closed out a great season of racing Nov. 1 with great heads up racing action on the quarter mile from the Outlaw All Stars. Taking home the win in the heads up classes were Larry Larson (Outlaw), Dan Saitz (Drag Radial), Mark “Woody” Woodruff (Super Street) and Dave Heimbach in the Barry Willingham Outlaw Bike eliminator. Track conditions were perfect and combined with near perfect weather. Many OAS records were demolished over the course of Sunday including the Drag Radial Speed record.
The four heads up classes at the Outlaw All Stars are Outlaw, Super Street, Drag Radial, and Outlaw Bike. Excluding Outlaw Bike all classes must have working doors. Outlaw has no other rules besides NHRA Safety Regulations. Super Street cars are not allowed “wheelie bars” and the cars must use a slick tire no wider than 10.5 inches wide. Drag Radial also excludes wheelie bars and the cars must use a D.O.T. approved tire that is no wider than 13 inches wide.
In Outlaw Elimator, Duane Rister took his 2000 Chevrolet Corvette to the top spot after posting a 4.05 second run at over 180 mph. Other cars that were expected to post big numbers but struggled included Arnold, Mo., resident John Deflorian in his 2006 Jerry Haas built Corvette as well as Cathy Belcher from Rantoul, Ill., in her 1990 Camaro powered by a supercharged motor. Both Belcher and Deflorian struggled with tire shake in qualifying. Eventual race winner, Larson qualified second with a 4.660 at 162 mph.
In first round eliminations Larson, from Oak Grove, Mo., advanced to the second round on a single run. Belcher popped the supercharger on the burnout and ending her day early. Deflorian had the bugs worked out of his Corvette or so it seemed after a 4.03 second run at almost 187 mph, but after the run discovered that the motor had broke a belt drive and ended his day early. In the biggest upset of the day William Eberhart Sr who had qualified fifth took out the number one qualifier Rister.
Eberhart left first and lead for the first sixty feet. At that point the cars were near even when suddently Rister started to shake the tires and was forced to lift and watch Eberhart disappear down track for the win.
In the Semi Finals Larson took out Tim “Little Moose” Mallicoat Jr. driving the car that won the championship in the NHRA Drags Street Legal Style presented by AAA in the Street Car division. Larson ran his quickest and fastest pass of 4.72 seconds at 164 mph in his street driven 1966 Chevrolet Nova II. Mallicoat got the holeshot but did not have enough to hold off Larson and managed a 5.38 second run at 128 mph.
In the final round Eberhart Sr. was lined up against the street car of Larson. Eberhart got the jump on the starting line by three tenths of a second, but the advantage was not enough and Larson pulled around Eberhart early in the run and ran away with the win on a great 4.80 second run at 162 mph. Eberhart did not have enough with a 5.71 second run at 117 mph.
Super Street Eliminator featured the largest heads up fields in the OAS history. Even with a strong field it became apparent early on that the race would be between Neil Tobnick and Woodruff. Woodruff, from Arnold, Mo., qualified on the top spot with a 7.51 mph run at 187 mph in his blue nitrous oxide fed 1968 Chevrolet Corvette though he also posted a great speed of 195 mph on a different run. Tobnick, from O’Fallon, Mo., qualified in the second spot of SS with a 7.92 second run at 174 mph in his small block nitrous injected 1991 Ford Mustang. Both drivers waded through the field before meeting in the final.
After monster burnouts by both drivers they pulled up to the starting line. The motors revved and Tobnick was off first, but turned on the red light and gave the win to Woodruff. However, neither driver lifted and put together the first side by side 7 second race at the OAS. Woodruff ran a 7.71 at a booming 197 mph for the speed record with a 7.71 second et. Tobnick ran an impressive 7.99 elapsed time at 172 mph.
In Drag Radial the field looked impressive in qualifying with Matt Giblin in his 1968 Yenko Nova on the top spot followed by class record holder Steve Biggs. Both cars suffered trauma in the engine compartment during qualifying and would be unable to return for eliminations. During qualifying Biggs reset his own speed record in the Drag Radial class at over 181 mph. Of the cars that were left after the carnage fest that was qualifying, St. Louis resident, Bo Peebles was at the top. Peebles took his twin turbocharged big block Dodge Charger to the top spot with an 8.87 at 155 mph.
The final round featured a pair of Hyperformance built turbocharge motors. In the left lane was the black Mustang of Saitz and in the other the blue Charger of Peebles. Saitz left first by seven tenths of a second but Peebles knew he had the faster car. At the stripe Peebles just ran out of room and Saitz took the win with a 9.58 elapsed time while Peebles had a 9.30 second losing effort.
“The day went pretty good for us,” commented Saitz. “It was a great way to finish off the season at home.”
In the Barry Willingham Outlaw Bike eliminator, Heimbach, from Moscow Mills, Mo., dominated the competition on Sunday. Heimbach dropped a 7.45 second elapsed time at over 180 mph in qualifying for the no. one spot. Freize took the second position close behind with a 7.70 second pass at 157 mph. In eliminations Freize had problems and was unable to take the tree giving Heather Wagner a free pass to the final round where should would meet Heimbach.
In the final round Wagner’s bike never sounded right from the time it fired to staging. When the let go of the clutch the bike shuddered then died. Heimbach steamed down the track to the 1/8th mile before seeing he was on a single pass and lifted to a 10 second pass.
In the “Man” Williams 9.50 index Street Bike class Dusty Katich took out Nelson Taylor the third in the final round. Katich got the jump on the starting line and used the holeshot to force Taylor to break out.
In the 10.0 index class for the cars Frankie Radakie took home his second OAS winner’s trophy on Sunday after defeating Matt Deason. Radakie got the jump in his 1968 Camaro and outran Deason’s 1957 Chevrolet to the stripe. Dennis Pearson took home the 11.0 index trophy in his 1998 Camaro after taking out Bud Gilliam’s 1980 Monza in the final round in a holeshot victory.
Bob Ruppel took out Matt Gosch, last year’s HS Champion at GIR, in the 12.0 index final round. Ruppel got the starting line advantage and ran just a little faster than Gosch down track to take the win.
Father and Son met in the final round of the 13.0 index class as Paul Hagen, father, took on son and former HS Champion, Aaron Hagen. The pair ran side by side down track but father, Paul got there a bit before Aaron in a double break out race where Aaron took home the trophy.
Aaron admitted, “I did not know how I was going to do since we do the same tricks and I learned how to race from him, and he’s got more experience than me.” Aaron’s CrossBones Motorsports sponsored Firebird has taken the last two wins in the 13.0 class as his father Paul took home the OAS trophy in August.
The father and son duo waded through the class using tricks they learned in Bret Kepner’s School of Drag Racing held during the summer at GIR. “I’ll have bragging rights through the winter on my Dad I’ve taken him out the last two times we raced,” said the former HS champion.
Jason Phillips took home the win in the 14.0 index class where he defeated Dusty Katich. Katich left first but down track Phillips got around him to take the win.
