Three days after the largest one-day crowd in the track’s history rewrote the record books, Mark “Woody” Woodruff made his own history and raised performance levels to an astonishing new level while winning his first title in the 2008 Street Car Shootout Series at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois. While fans from all over the Midwest enjoyed a flawless event during the filming of “PINKS! All Out” the previous weekend, the GIR crew offered more of the same in what, quite simply, was the best racing event in the four-year history of the SCSS. Spectators, racers and officials agreed the July 1st, 2008 edition of the SCSS was everything the series was originally conceived to be.
Records were shattered in all but one category and no less than forty-two percent of all entries recorded career-best performances in what was amazing weather for the first day of July. The air temperature never exceeded 84 degrees and, even in the worst conditions of the event, the corrected elevation never rose higher than 2127 feet above sea level. A cloudless sky put the track surface temperature at 131 degrees when qualifying began and made traction a tricky proposition until the starting line eventually found shade from the grandstand billboards. When the sun finally set, traction became plentiful and the “air” eventually dropped to a fantastic 1288 feet, a five-year best for the first week in July. The track temperature fell to 89 degrees after sunset but the performance parade actually began long before dark.
Twenty-five minutes after qualifying began, Tim “Moose” Mallicoat wheeled his familiar “Hellraiser” 565-cubic inch naturally-aspirated ‘68 Camaro to the starting line and proved traction was available with an 8.71-second pass at 157.19 miles per hour. Fans eagerly watched as Mark Woodruff, a regular Wednesday night competitor at GIR, pulled into the waterbox with his immaculate 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Nova SC. In itself, the orange behemoth was an SCSS record; using a monstrous 706-cubic inch Chevy powerplant produced by famed Pro Modified engine builder Charlie Buck, the nitrous oxide-injected machine utilized an electronic fuel injection unit created by drag racing’s best EFI engineer, Pro Modified racer Harold Martin. The 3250-pound Nova, built around a Yates chassis, launched hard but immediately fried the tires. “Woody” attempted to “pedal” out of the tire smoke and eventually got the car to hook up but finally aborted the run just past halftrack. Although the run appeared to be a disaster, only those who saw the timeslip were aware of the car’s surprising 123.25 mph eighth-mile speed even though the car was hardly ever under full power!
Tony Tobnick, the SCSS ET and Speed record holder at 8.34/166.11, was the next threat to Mallicoat’s pole position. The McCoy-chassised nitrous small block ‘91 Mustang left the line with an easy 1.35-second sixty-feet elapsed time but a fuel delivery problem cut the power to the Ford before the finish line resulting in a coasting 9.34/131.31 effort. Minutes later, Tony Huff made his first attempt with the black 1957 Chevy Bel-Air in which he has chased Mallicoat throughout the year for the SCSS championship point lead. The 510-inch nitrous Chevy rocketed to a 1.246 “sixty” and poured on the power through an arrow-straight run. The Dale Huff Motorsports flagship covered the first 330 feet in 3.50 seconds, a new SCSS record. At the eighth-mile, Huff broke Tobnick’s 5.40 ET record with a blazing 5.37/131.48. At the finish line, the scoreboards reported a career-best 8.37...only three hundredths of a second from Tobnick’s SCSS record…at Huff’s fastest speed ever, 161.61 mph. The crowd roared its approval.
Huff’s near-record pass was made in daylight and few of the “hitters” made any more attempts until after sundown. After the track temp had dropped almost thirty degrees, Mallicoat made his second effort and the winningest SCSS driver improved to a 1.26-second “sixty” and a strong 8.67/155.83. Two pairs later, Woodruff returned to the starting line with few fans knowing what to expect. After another thundering burnout, “Woody” eased the Nova off the starting line with a 1.43 “sixty” and, by hafltrack, the car was still hooked up. Although his 5.70-second eighth-mile ET was strong, it was no record-breaker. However, there was a hint something amazing was happening; Woodruff’s eighth-mile speed was an ungodly 139.23 mph…more than five miles per hour faster than any eighth-mile in SCSS history!
