November 7, 2020 with a perfect forecast and perfect weather the SuperCar camp headed to world famous Atco Dragway Atco, NJ to complete the 2020 season and crown a new SuperCar World Champion. The entry list for the fall finale did not disappoint. All the heavy hitters showed up to record new best ET's and to flex there muscles in there respected classes and races. For the first time in many years we have not one or two Fords in the field but three. All coming from the Oreland, PA the Cannon and Doyle crew brought out three competitive Fords to do Battle in the series. Also from Oreland, PA Brian Doyle and his 1971 Challenger R/T came out to set some new records. Also attending this event was our out NJ camp. Led by Ray Garrison they did not disappoint. Bringing 7 SuperCars out to do battle. With everyone SuperCar Tech'd and ready to do battle we move to qualifying.
With 22 SuperCars staged and ready the qualifying order saw regular Ted Daros and his 1969 Record Holding Nova in the number one qualifying position with a solid 10.736 E/T in the number two slot we have Ralph Barbagallo and his 1970 Road Runner.

Closing out the 2nd quik eight was Adam Witkowski and his 1972 Charger Rallye 340. The fields are set and we are ready to go racing.
Round one in the quick eight was critical for Tom Tarzwell's Charger. For the Charger to have any path to the Championship a win was a must. Paired up with World Record Holder Ted Daros the chance of a W in the Charger lane was slim but not impossible. Ted has been known to push the tree once and a while with this be the case and will the Charger gain the points needed to be the 2020 Championship. Both SuperCars Stage and are ready to go. Ted cuts a .118 light and motors to a win. For Barbagallo to win the 2020 World Championship he needs to forge his way thru the field to the Final. Winning the Final today would guarantee him the Championship. Both Ted and Ralph win their respected semi final match ups. Both SuperCars are ready to go. The Atco surface as usual is prepped one last time to perfection for the class. Both cars stage and are ready to go. Ted knowing Ralph has in the past caused him to red light leaves cautiously with a .224 light. Ralph knowing he can seal the championship cuts a .169 light and they are off. Ted makes his way to the 300 ft mark spinning the hides. Ralph has no luck as he looses traction from the hit. Ted runs and 11.436 to Ralph's 12.08.
In the second quick eight we moved to the final as Platinum Ray and his GTX finds self in the final against the big bad buick of Jake Martinez. The Classis Mopar vs Buick battle is about to go down.
