The Super Gas class produced another first-time winner in Jeff Crooks, who picked up the victory after final-round opponent Tom Carlson fouled by five-thousandths. The Manitoba-based Crooks, in his ’67 Firebird, made his way through eliminations with a string of near-perfect lights. He was also good at the finish line when necessary, including a perfect 9.900 pass that held off Scott McMaster’s perfect .000 reaction time in round three. In that battle, Crooks turned on the win light by a scant .0009-second.Â
