Very unhappy about being disqualified, the two left the entry area kicking up a large cloud of dust on their way back to the car haulers. The announcer would later explain that the deadline for registering for the heat was 2 p.m. The two drivers had arrived late. He said rules were rules, and the drivers had to be disqualified. With only five cars on the track the final heat of the night lacked some of the excitement of the other two classes. What was fun to watch was the fight to the finish between the numbers 19 and 04Maddog cars. The first three cars were eliminated pretty quickly. Then it was a 'dog fight' to the finish for the 19 and 04. There were times when the two cars reminded one of boxers in a ring, circling each other, sizing each other up, and trying to determine where to deliver that knock-out blow. However, in the end, it was a quiet track that determined the winner. At the exact same time, both car engines died. The crowd roared. What now? The announcer urged each one to get their car started saying the first to start would be the winner of the heat. Inside the cars, one could see both drivers trying hard to get the engines to roll over. In the end it was Maddog who got there first, and was immediately declared the winner. CONTINUE
