Both the Summit ET and Junior Dragsters were on hand as well as a few drivers and riders tuning and testing their rides.  Since the program on Sunday was running so smoothly it was decided to have three rounds of qualifying rather than the usual two. This gave the racers and their crew additional time to make any adjustments that were needed.  After a lunch break it was time for elimination as the countdown for determining the day’s champions.

Two zones were for the bigger kids while the little ones had two zones of their own. Since the crowd was smaller due to the weather the kids had a bigger
