Both qualifying in #1 position and both taking home the win!

Qualifying #1 with a 3.81, Copson had a bye run into R2 when he won with a 3.84. In the semi finals the Copson team played a strategic game, clocking a 3.84, and getting through to the final. For the final round, the Copson team faced Mo Hall. Tuner Josh Ledford stepped it up to win the race with a 3.73 against Hall’s 3.79!
Amazing fact: Copson Racing won 26 out of the last 27 rounds – unbelievable !
Meanwhile, Eric Dillard (driving for Scott Tidwell) in Pro275 gained notoriety when the Tidwell, CTR team bettered their own World Record Friday night with a 3.741 at 197.36!
