The Shearer-Fab 8.90 racers had a strong field of 17 cars trying to claim one of the 16 top spots. The Chumley Motorsports #1 Qualifier was, once again the man, the myth, the legend "Chico" in his 1963 Chevy II with an 8.902!! Unfortunately Chico went down to mechanical gremlins, which entitled Gary Moore the TI Dyno Assassin Cash . With the championship on the line, several “Spoilers” reared their heads including that of Scott Williams and his 1965 Malibu SS from Warren, Michigan. Semi-Finalists were Bob Getsy in his stick shift equipped 1957 Chevy and “Big Charlie” Moore in his nitrous fed SBC 69 Chevy Camaro. The finals came down to our championship spoilers of Scott Williams vs Jeff Clark in his nitrous fed BBC 69 Chevelle. Jeff, who had announced earlier in the season that he is moving out of state, and was not expect to make our season finale. However, he decided before leaving he was going to officially put his stamp on the RENEGADE RACING ASSOCIATION series by claiming his first Shearer-Fab 8.90 victory. Jeff best of luck from our family to yours!!!
8.90 POINTS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Championship boiled down to two racers Al Matuska and Paul Suloff who were tied in points after 5 events. Going into the season finale both racers knew they had to be on top of their game, and also knew it could come down to a face to face tie-breaking shoot-out. When both racers were eliminated from competition in the second round, the pressure of the championship set in. These two have proven themselves time and time again to be amongst RENEGADE RACING ASSOCIATION'S elite. In the Championship Shoot-out both cars left with their wheels in the air and sporting nearly identical reaction times, at mid-track Al’s 65 Malibu began reeling in Paul’s jackrabbit quick 67 Camaro and at the stripe Al claimed the double breakout victory by a scant margin of .003. Congratulations to Al, Paul and all the 8.90 Points Championship participants.
