The annual Twin 30 lap features were held Friday night, with Billy Drake putting the hurt on the other 36 drivers by taking both features. The evening started out with Mike Glasscock turning in fast time at 13.171 seconds. The dash was won by Drake over Roger Long, Justin Allgaier, Kevin Weaver, Glasscock and Mike Mullvain.
The heats had Toby Scharp winning over Mike Glynn and Jim Loomis, even though Scharp's car broke as he took the white flag, but he had enough of a lead to coast back around to win. Second heat was Jay Sparks over Richie Hedrick and Butch Smith. Heat three went to Jr Shickel over Jeff Leka and Michael Bradley. The final heat saw Roger Long move to the low side and post the win over Eric Smith and Steve Sheppard, Jr.
Semi features went to Joe Ross, Jr over Marvin Burton and Jr Shickel, even though Ross had an oil line come loose early and the car put out smoke the whole way. The second semi went to Jeff Leka over Gary May and Jay Sparks.
The first feature had Glasscock taking the early lead from the pole, with Long zooming by on lap 4. Drake managed to catch up and pass Long on lap 22 to lead the final eight laps. Long came home second over Glasscock and Weaver.
First feature finish: Billy Drake, Roger Long, Mike Glasscock, Kevin Weaver, Mike Mullvain, Jason Feger, Gary May, Justin Allgaier, Chris Dick, Jr Shickel.
The fast 14 qualifiers were then inverted for the second feature, with Jason Feger and Donnie Waldon on the pole. Feger jumped out to a huge lead, until Roger Long ran him down and passed him on lap 18 with a rough pass as they were lapping a bunch of cars. Long's car seemed to have problems, as he then came became very erratic and out of control, but sell leading until lap 26, when the tenth place starting Drake passed him by and went on for the win Long held on for second with Feger third.
Second feature finish: Billy Drake, Roger Long, Jason Feger, Justin Allgaier, Kevin Weaver, Eric Smith, Joe Ross, Jr, Jeff Leka, Gary May, Michael Bradley.
