The Spitzer Enterprises Top Gun Series, the quicker of the two divisions in the Goodson Pro Top Outlaw Series, kicked off their 2008 season in Timberlake , NC at Roxboro Dragway. The competitors put on a great show for the fans including sub 4 second passes at over 180 MPH down the 1/8 mile.

On Sunday, Booher earned the semi-final win and lane choice in the finals when he took out Dave Harris with a 3.90 second pass at 184 MPH. While in the other semi-final match-up Mueller ran 4.02 at 181 MPH to earn the win over Ty Parker. In the finals, Booher put up the quickest time of the event, 3.882, to take the win light over Mueller who ran 4.015.
“It was a good start to the season. We have a lot of new things going on this year and we couldn’t do it without the help of so many great people. There are so many people to thank, two of which are Mike Spitzer of Spitzer Enterprises and PTO member and fellow drag racer Bruce Westfall of American Colorscans who are the title sponsors to our Top Gun and Super Eliminator classes. We are expecting some really good fields in both classes coming up in London in a couple weeks,” said Phil Esz , President of PTO.
