got a better program together. I’ve always said
clutch cars are faster and I think the scoreboards
showed it.”
Weatherford recorded three of the best passes
of his career on his way to the final round. He
posted a 3.699 over Tommy Mauney, a 3.701 over
Johnny Camp and a 3.675 over Chris Rini. Hall
also experienced a career-best weekend in his
Clayton Murphy-tuned ’68 Camaro, as he ran a
3.745 over Tony Wilson, a career-best 3.704 at
205.19 over past world champion Jason Harris,
and a 4.017 in the semifinals.
PRO EXTREME
Racing in just his second Pro Extreme event
since 2015, Adam Flamholc earned the North-
South Shootout event win when he recorded his
third consecutive 3.6-second pass and defeated
No. 1 qualifier Terry Leggett in the final round.
Leggett, who fired off a 3.552 at 216.97 on his
first-round bye run, slowed to a 4.063 in the fi-
nal round, while Flamholc ran 3.63 at 214.62 to
take the win in his 5-Day Plantation Shutters &
Blinds ’63 Corvette. Flamholc, a Swedish native,
qualified No. 2 and defeated Scott Farley before
facing Leggett in the final round.
PRO BOOST
Former Pro Extreme star Tommy D’Aprile fur-
ther solidified his status as a serious threat in Pro
Boost this season when he and tuner/car owner Al
Billes fired off one of the quickest supercharged
passes in class history to win the event. D’Aprile
recorded a 3.66 at 203.31 to beat Chuck Ulsch’s
3.75 at 198.58 in the final round.
“This win was all about teamwork,” said
D’Aprile, the No. 1 qualifier for the second time
this season. “This team is amazing. If I had an
unlimited budget and I could go anywhere and
pick my team, I couldn’t pick it any better than
this. God has put this team together. I make no
bones about my faith. I’m a man of faith; I walk
that, I talk that and I’m proud of that. I love this
team. We have a brotherhood here that is just
amazing. We’re blessed.”
D’Aprile dodged a bullet in the opening round
when his Roots-blown ’69 Camaro slowed to a
3.87
