ODESSA, MO (Aug. 25) – The Dwarf Car Racing Association, competing with Dwarf Cars and Mod Lite Cars, concluded the night during “CARMAGEDDON” 2007 at I-70 Speedway. 23 cars representing Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, qualified for the Feature Event through 3 eight lap heat races and a 5 lap pole dash that determined the starting position of the top six qualifiers. Pole dash winner, David Raffurtty called the coin toss which resulted in the inversion of the top six cars for the feature start.
