Final Qualifying Sheets


Final Qualifying Notes

Super Street Outlaw

Sam Vincent is showing the SSO crowd how he can make the hot air work with his own atmosphere, with his nitrous combination and pushes his Mustang into the 20s with a 7.262 @ 192.93 mph pass.

Though in the other side of the induction ladder, John MacDonald is showing that he wants to win the ZMAX race again this year by bumping up to the number two qualifying spot with a 7.374 @ 192.33.

Phil Hines showed up last night and put himself at the bottom of the ladder with a lifting 9.303 pass. Andrew De Marco is out of the race this weekend due to technical difficulties.

Hot Street

The Hot Street class is the one class the suffers the most from the hot air, though Tim Eichhorn was able to push up the ladder to the third spot with a 8.680 @ 155.94 mph blast.

Part of breaking records is dealing with tare downs at the tech shed. Number one qualifier Bruce Hemminger bested is run from last night with a 9.433 @ 142.28 mph pass.

Factory Stock

Factory Stock Champion Tommy Godfrey also showed up last night and wedged himself into the number two spot in Factory Stock right behind Jay Dold with a 11.206 @ 119.12 mph.

Saturday Evening News From The Pits

Bob Cook has had quite the opposite race when compared to Joliet. There, he was on top all weekend and without problems. Yesterday he suffered from a wheel stand that damaged his rack and pinion. Today, during his final qualifying round, Bob noticed the transmission felt funny. During the evening test session, the second gear went out on Bob. Luckily, it did not happen during eliminations so he had time to put a fresh one in.

Last night's engine woes for Conrad Scarry will not end. He was unable to run in the final qualifying round of Pro Outlaw 10.5 or the evening test session. The team is still battling wiring problems, in which they were blaming on... me.

That's it for Saturday, see you tomorrow!
