With

had a

the lead
Cable

built
for

night.
EJ went
down in
the 5th

leaving
Ray
Holmes
as the
last man
with a
shot to
knock
Cable
off the
champion’s
podium.
The only
way
Holmes
could
catch
him was
with a
race
victory
and he
had his
work cut
out for
him. He
worked
his way
through
8 tough
rounds
to make
it to
the
finals
where he
met up
with
Will
Kivett.
Kivett
was
chasing
his
third
big

of the
year.
The race
was over
early as
Holmes,
in his
’63
Corvette,
turned
it red
by .006
seconds
handing
the race
win to
Kivett
and the
championship
to Tom
Cable.
Kivett
was on
his game
in the
final
and was
going to
be tough
to beat

down an
11
