Fall Fest 2012 at Atoka Motorsports Park in Atoka, OK served as a great season ending event for racers in the Mid-America Sand Drag Series with the points battles going down to the very end. In the Top Eliminator class, Jeff Sieg not only won the final round over Dee Trower, but he also took the 2012 MASD TE championship trophy back to Missouri. In the Pro 1 Cars class, John Acker clinched the championship, but could not complete the full season sweep as Glenn Swanner defeated him in the semi-final route en route to his first sand drag class win. The Pro 1 Quads championship battle came down to the semi-final round where Mollie Eades lost a close battle, which clinched the championship for Texas racer Luke Martin. Unfortunately for Luke, he would fall the eventual class winner Randy Kimbley in the semi-final round. Kimbley went crazy as he completed a rare feat as he won three ATV classes on the night as he took the Pro 1, 2, and 3 Quads classes. Note: Run Sheets are now posted.
