My car was good, and I drove fairly well except for the final; it wasn’t a great race. I ran dead on - the car was really good. Anytime you can come to a race that everybody across the country that has done well all year long comes to one race, and you come out on top – you’ve gotta be happy about that. There’s tons of good racers in the Carolinas, and I’ve been racing in that same area since 1994 with IHRA. We really didn’t have any problems. I had both cars in the TOC so I was running in Super Rod and Top Dragster. Unfortunately, I red lighted in first round in Super Rod. I’ve done well in Super Rod; I have four Super Rod World Championships. This is my first one in Top Dragster so it’s cool to get one in a different class. We do this for fun. None of us are crazy enough to think we’re gonna make a whole lot of money doing this. Summit put up $10,000 to win this race, and that’s spectacular. But only one dude’s gonna get the 10 grand. Most of the time, we’re running for a whole lot less so if you’re trying to do this to make money, you’re kind of crazy. So you do it for fun, and you do it for competition. That’s what it’s all about.” “I feel incredible. It’s a surreal feeling; it’s amazing. I really can’t describe it. When the win light came on, it was an incredible feeling. I was screaming all the way through the shutdown area – it’s an unbelievable, amazing feeling. We were fortunate the car ran good all weekend, and we didn’t have any problems. We’ve had some bad luck here in the past, but it’s started to turn around. Two years ago, we blew up in the final so that was a heart breaker so it’s very gratifying to finally seal the deal. Everybody’s here for a reason; they didn’t just show up – you had to earn it all year. That big trophy will make the 16-hour trip home seem a lot shorter.” The Summit Tournament of Champions winners were: Paul Mosley (Top Sportsman), Steve Furr (Top Dragster), Pete D’Angelo (Super Stock), Dan Young (Stock), Dave Schmidt (Quick Rod), Jacob Elrod (Super Rod), Dennis Clark (Hot Rod) and Gage Burch (Junior Dragster).
