Results for Elimination Round 1

LEICESTER, N.Y. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of round 1 eliminations in Omega Performance TS Shootout at the 12th annual CARQUEST Empire Nationals:

 W/L  Driver                                       RT        ET   Speed

 (W) Larry Sinke ('36 Oldsmobile)                0.557      6.438 216.65
 (L) Jack O'Dell ('70 Chevelle)                  0.544     11.277  73.49
7:03 PM We open the "Night of Fire" with the Omega Top Sportsman Quick 8 and #1 qualifier Sinke faced first alternate O'Dell when Paul Rocco was unable to answer the call. O'Dell chattered the tires hard while Sinke launched hard and straight, making a nice run and bettering his qualifying run.
 (W) Mike Janis ('63 Corvette)                   0.054     12.306  92.45
 (L) Harry Rockwell ('92 Probe)                  0.000(R)  (Broke)
Rockwell left before the tree was activated and then Janis spun the tires very hard, so Janis' redlight probably cost him the race.
 (W) Joe Boniferro ('99 Avenger)                 0.000     (Broke)
 (L) Mike Swinarski ('68 Camaro)                 0.000(R)  (Broke)
The winner here will face Janis in round two. But there almost wasn't any winner. Strange - Boniferro rolled through the beams while staging, then backed up, then Swinarski left before the tree was activated. Swinarski is the winner since Boniferro committed the first foul.
 (W) Jim Gleason ('99 Monte Carlo)               0.443      6.744 207.27
 (L) Kasey Janzen ('93 Lumina)                   0.556      6.669 211.31
Finally a good race - Gleason with a big holeshot, big enough to carry him to the win.

Sunday


Results for Final Round

LEICESTER, N.Y. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of final, round 2 eliminations in Omega Performance TS Shootout at the 12th annual CARQUEST Empire Nationals:

W/L Driver RT ET Speed

(W) Mike Janis ('63 Corvette) 0.536 6.509 215.51
(L) Jim Gleason ('99 Monte Carlo) 0.454 6.899 197.75
Yes, this is the final round - the other two competitors (Mike Swinarski and Larry Sinke) broke, so instead of running two bye runs and then the finals - here they are! Gleason won the tree, but Janis almost matched his qualifying performance to win easily.
