PRO STOCK
Steve Spiess (Manhattan, Ill.) backed up his Torco Pro Stock
victory in Toronto two weeks ago with a win over Rick Jones
(Galesburg, Ill.) in the final. Spiess set the track ET
and mph record in the process, and extended his points lead
over Robert Patrick. Spiess had a 49 point lead heading
into the event. He left with a 122 point advantage.
"It doesn't get a whole lot better than this,"
Spiess said of his weekend. "We really ran good ET's,
but we couldn't figure out the miles an hour. We changed
the gear ratio a couple of races ago because it felt like
there was something holding us back. I'm just thankful for
everything because I had all my friends here and was able
to do well in front of them."
Spiess ran a 6.443/217.04 in the final to get the victory
over Rick Jones in the final. In fact, Jones and his company,
Quarter-Max, built both Chevy Cobalts that were in the final.
"Rick is very happy because he wants to see his customers
win," Spiess said. "He's a very competitive person
and wants to win just like everyone else. Before and after
we are buddies, but when we are out there whatever happens,
happens."
