Next are the dragsters of Todd Hope of Norwich, Ontario with 300 points and Spencer Hyde of Stratford, Ontario with 279 points.
Fourth overall and first on the Top Sportsman side is the team of Dave Bell of Grand Bend, Ontario and Mike Wagg of Waterdown, Ontario with their 1994 Dodge Daytona and 278 points.
