The North vs. South Shootout was a weekend of redemption for Pro Nitrous finalists Fredy Scriba and Billy Albert. It was a homecoming for Scriba, who earned his first world championship last season but lost in the first round at the first two races of this season. Albert, on the other hand, lost on a bye run in the Maryland semifinals last season when his car wouldn’t start. This time around, Scriba denied Albert his first Pro Nitrous victory in a side-by-side final round. Scriba left first in his Musi-powered “Sorcerer” ’69 Camaro and held the lead through the finish line with a 3.712 at 206.29. Albert wasn’t far behind with a 3.727 at 206.42.
Scriba’s road to victory started with an all-Robert-Hayes-built matchup against Brian Shrader, who nearly stopped Scriba with a .008 reaction time and a 3.755, but Scriba snuck by with a 3.711 at 206.57. It was Scriba’s turn to go .00 in the second round, where he cut a .007 light and ran a consistent 3.72 at 207.82 to defeat three-time world champion Tommy Franklin and his 4.095. Scriba had a bye run to the final round in the semis, but he used it to record a 3.738 at 206.07 to get lane choice over Albert.
Driving an Albert-powered ’20 Camaro previously fielded by his tuner, “Tricky” Rickie Smith, Albert qualified No. 5 and made it through a first-round match with Tony Wilson, posting a 3.719 at 206.20 over Wilson’s 3.748. Dane Wood cut a .009 light to get out ahead of Albert in the second round, but Albert made it up with a 3.733 at 206.10 to Wood’s 3.889. That sent Albert back to the semifinals, where a simple mechanical issue prevented him from taking advantage of a bye run to the final round at last year’s North vs. South Shootout. He got redemption, using a .019 light and a 3.741 at 206.32 to get the holeshot win over past Elite Top Sportsman world champion Buddy Perkinson and his 3.733 at 204.01.
