Kevin Mendenhall cruised to the Mod (No Box) title when final-round opponent Bradley Tippett red-lighted at the start. Mendenhall, a Parkersburg, Pa., driver, finished with a .067 reaction time and then eased to the win in his 1966 Chevy Nova. The foul erased a solid effort for Tippett, a hometown driver from Mechanicsville, who finished at 6.609 seconds and 100.74 mph against a 6.60 dial-in.

Nathan Mendenhall raced to the Junior Dragster final, but finished runner-up to Kaiden Groves, another Mechanicsville driver. Groves won on a holeshot with a .035 to .067 reaction-time advantage, then went down the track in 7.928 seconds at 80.70 mph. Mendenhall finished in 7.950 seconds at 80.11 mph.

Gage Willingham from Mechanicsville received special recognition and a medal for going the furthest in eliminations of the younger Junior Dragster Beginner class. 

Virginia racer Nick Chiles had a stellar start with a .009 light and followed with a solid 5.505-second pass at 126.66 mph against a 5.50 dial-in to win the Top (Box) final. Delaware racer Vic Gordy placed second with a .038 reaction time and a 5.606-second run at 122.59 mph against a 5.61 dial-in. 

In a special Pro Mod Challenge, Kevin McCurdy from Hamburg, Pa., captured the win by rocketing down the track in 3.692 seconds at 205.32 mph after a .017 reaction time. Fred Scriba from Millersville, Md., was the runner-up with a 3.713-second pass at 201.43 mph after a .067 start.
