Saturday's 1st Round
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Randy Parks 0.449 5.715 248.96
(L) Michael Gunderson 0.490 9.435 96.10
3:05 PM and we're way behind schedule, but we're
plugging along... Gunderson leaves in a cloud of tire
smoke, and it's all over...
(W) Greg Roberts 0.473 5.850 250.48
(L) Bob Bears 0.642 5.774 245.16
Bears takes a big nap, and lets Roberts thunder by at
250plus, winning by 0.093 secs, well over a carlength.
(W) Darrell Russell 0.457 5.719 249.79
(L) Allen Hartley 0.444 6.062 208.33
Hartley never had everything working, the engine
sounding off-song from the start...
(W) Jay Payne 0.464 5.700 248.75
(L) Doug Kelley 0.166(R) 16.202 46.80
Kelly knew he had to take a shot...
(W) Keith Stark 0.527 5.711 229.18
(L) Michael Bartone 0.496 6.090 235.23
Bartone had the head start, but a slight tire shake
then a wisp of tire smoke and that was all Stark needed to
streak ahead...
(W) Candy Bartone 0.450 5.843 233.52
(L) Dennis Drath 0.476 6.168 237.46
The ex-Candy Lebor steps up from her qualifying pace,
meanwhile Drath shakes then smokes the hides, leaving an
opening for Candy to drive thru...
(W) Bill McCornack 0.481 5.826 250.27
(L) Douglas Foley 0.550 6.096 222.77
McCornack is driving for John Costanza, the new
benefactor of Tommy Johnson Jr... Just like during
qualifying, Foley's machine would leave well then shake at
about 400', he'd pedal and meanwhile McCornack was driving
away...
(W) Jeremy Torstveit 0.507 6.121 180.46
(L) Randy Bayne 0.650 5.988 222.38
The Doc gets a huge headstart, then bangs the engine
at 1000' and has to hope that he can coast across ahead of
Bayne... he does it, but on the replay you can't tell who
won, it was so close. Wow.
That's all.
(R) = Red light foul

Sunday's 2nd Round
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Greg Roberts 0.400 9.040 92.55
(L) Jeremy Torstveit 0.200(R) 5.870 247.78
12:49 PM and the Safety Safari rolls out for a quick
cleanup... And the timing monitor has gone nuts again, not
showing any numbers... I know Torstveit redlighted, but not
by how much, so don't put any confidence into the 0.200 or
0.400 numbers shown above... the rest is off the scoreboard.
(W) Candy Bartone 0.507 5.946 231.60
(L) Darrell Russell 0.473 6.465 167.03
Russell shakes, and Candy advances with lane choice
over Roberts...
(W) Randy Parks 0.467 5.675 249.86
(L) Bill McCornack 0.446 11.484 70.67
And just like that, the #1 qualifier is outta here...
not a good weekend for the Costanza Racing team, with TJjr
out as well...
(W) Jay Payne (No Time)
(L) Keith Stark (No Time)
And the timing monitor has gone nuts again
no numbers to give you, but
Payne will get the win here, as Stark had a violent crash,
the car spinning and barrel rolling starting at about 300'
off the line. We can't tell anything for sure. He is being
transported to Shands Medical Center. We'll update his
condition as soon as we receive additional information...
that was the final pair of the round.
(R) = Red light foul
