GRAND BEND, Ont. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Outlaw at the Inaugural Mopar Parts Canadian Nationals presented by Castrol listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
      Left Lane: Jim Lamb         Runs 6.767/170.16, Now #1
     Right Lane: Scott Ray        Runs 7.407/129.38, Now #2
12:26 AM Almost on schedule, here come the first of the Professional categories for their first shot at the Grand Bend Motorplex racing surface.

Lamb's car was backfiring, but it was Ray's car that started trailing black smoke and then there was a flash fire atop the engine - but no oil on the track.
      Left Lane: Chris McClellan  Runs 6.987/171.88, Now #2
     Right Lane: Todd Avery       No Time, Now #4
Avery left before the tree. McClellan fired the wild-looking altered down the left lane on a good first pass, but slowed on the top end.
      Left Lane: Laurie Cannister Runs 6.160/222.22, Now #1
     Right Lane: Dan Bandish      Runs 6.214/222.44, Now #2
Laurie's car shook in this repeat of the Darlington final round and that was enough for Bandish to get to the finish line first - but this is only qualifying.
      Left Lane: Mick Snyder      Runs 6.139/220.85, Now #1
     Right Lane: Mike Decker      Runs 6.183/216.08, Now #3
Snyder is graduating this weekend - with a 3.85 grade point average! He'll miss the ceremony to race here - and he celebrates with a #1 spot on the ladder with a fine run.
      Left Lane: Jeff Chatterson  No Time, Now #10
     Right Lane: Ed Lyons         Runs 15.624/47.08, Now #8
Chatterson had problems getting the car out of the staging lanes, the engine not firing when his turn came, so Lyons ran solo. Lyons chattered the tires and danced all over the launch pad before giving it up.
      Left Lane: Mark McElwee     Runs 6.450/218.34, Now #5
McElwee is debuting a brand-new car here, a Y2K Spitzer. The chassis looked fine, but the engine trailed smoke from half-track on.
