(May 1, 2006) -- Montgomery (AL) racer Harley Miller says it has been

circle, but he did it in style Saturday (4/29), winning the Pro ET event in
a final over former track champ Kenny Gray of Opelika (AL). Miller took his
"Breakout" 1969 Camaro to a win with a 6.061 run on his 6.04 dial at 112.05
miles per hour. Gray powered his "Mr. Big Block" 1987 Woody rear-engine
dragster to a 5.398 run on a 5.37 dial at 127.70 miles per hour in a losing
effort. Prattville (AL) racer Andy Finley and Jason Cahoon of Millbrook (AL)
