Not to be outdone, Manuel had just beaten Scott King, Warrenville, S.C., to take the trophy in the division's Hickory Enclosed Trailer Top Dragster class, running 7.293 seconds at 174.62 over King's 7.447, 180.55.  With a double win on the line, Manuel took the holeshot lead leaving Adcock to run him down with a double breakout win for Adcock running 9.897 on the 9.90 index for his second trophy of the day.

In Top Alcohol Funny Car, Melinda Green-King defeated Mark Billington for her second Southeast divisional win in a row, scoring the win at Atlanta Dragway back in May.  Green-King drove her '10 Mustang to a pass of 5.903 seconds at 244.43 mph.

Taking his first win of the season in Top Alcohol Dragster was Sidnei Frigo of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.  Frigo qualified No. 3 and outran Artie Allen in round 1 and Rich McPhillips in round 2 before winning over Karen Stalba with a holeshot in the final.  Frigo went 5.575 seconds, 254.52 to Hammonton, N.J., resident Stalba with a 5.559, 248.29.

Dave Connolly, Elyria, Ohio, got in on the action with his second win in Super Street defeating Don Garbinski, Philadelphia.  While Dave was winning in Charlotte, his Dad Ray was on his way to winning in the Super Gas class in Bowling Green, Ky., at the North Central Division Lucas Oil event.

Comp Eliminator racer and current division champion Glen Treadwell took the win in his '23 roadster holding off Sal Biondo, Maspeth, N.Y., and Jeff Adkinson, Damascus, Ga., and Joe Santangelo, Marlborough, Conn., won in Super Stock and Stock respectively.  Adkinson ousted David Simmons, Suwannee, Ga., and Santangelo was too much for Robbie Shaw, Bowdon, Ga.

Jeff Brooks took the Davis Golf Cart Top Sportsman trophy back to Fredericksburg, Va., with a victory over John Glenn of Andrews, N.C.  Brooks covered the quarter mile in 6.872 seconds at 197.10 mph.
