Since it opened in 1989, Heartland Park Topeka has always been a favorite of the Patterson Racing Team. At his home track this weekend, Todd Patterson added another national event win to his illustrious Competition Eliminator record. Patterson qualified his brand new B Street Roadster in the number three spot with a run of 7.95 E.T. In the first round of 32, Patterson defeated Michael Johnson and then beat Larry Larson in round two. In round three, Patterson's run of 7.994 was good enough for a margin of victory over Chase Williams of 0.0225 seconds. Up against Patterson-Powered 3-time NHRA World Champion David Rampy in the semi-finals, Todd Patterson's reaction time of .014 seconds was on the right side of the light - compared to Rampy's .004 red light. That win set up a final round identical to last year's Heartland Park Comp Eliminator final. Patterson faced Lou Ficco in a B/AA Cavalier. Ficco could not catch him as Patterson's B/SR made it's quickest run of the event, 7.934 E.T., to take the victory again in 2007. |

Event Title |

In an all classic Patterson Power final, Ian Landies Jr. drove his 295 C.I. F/A Cavalier to victory over Tony Stephenson's similar bodied 304 C.I. F/AA. Ian Jr. posted an impressive -0.64 under 8.20 elapsed time in the final, compared to Tony's -0.60 under 8.18 elapsed time. Both drivers rely on Patterson Racing engines to give them a competitive advantage to win event titles. “Dad had been using Patterson engines for
about ten years and I knew that they would give me a good piece.
This engine makes a lot of power, I mean a lot of power and
it’s a really fun car to drive.”
