The Classic lived up to its name, in many ways. It was one to remember for many years as both racers and race fans turned out to celebrate the 2008 season. Thanks to Snap-on Tools, BiMart, Baxter Auto Parts, and 99.5 The Wolf, everyone appeared to have a blast. 
The final major event of the season lived up to its name as Snap-On Tools, BiMart, Baxter Auto Parts and 99.5 The Wolf presented the 23rd Annual Fall Classic at Woodburn Dragstrip. Ed “The Outlaw” Jones wowed the crowd with full quarter-mile passes on two wheels in his 1875 authentic Concord Stagecoach reproduction. Pro Nostalgia shootout qualifiers battled it out to the very end, with Dewayne Sanders emerging victorious over Spud Miller. The Top Alcohol Funny Cars we led by the impressive runs of Dave Germain and Shane Harter. Mike Austin and Gregg Lawrence were masters of the Blown Alcohol and Injected Nitro Dragsters. And the crowd went wild with the Thunder and Smoke of the Jet Funny Cars driven by Kyle Skidgel and Bill Hosford blasting their way through the quarter mile at over 270 mph.
