STANTON, Mich. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Screamin'
Eagle Nitro Harley at the 19th annual CARQUEST Northern Nationals listing lane,
rider name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Jay Turner Runs 8.327/107.92, Now #1
Right Lane: Allen Peterson Runs 8.648/150.50, Now #2
12:38 PM Turner apparently had the wheelie bar set wrong because the front
wheel was way up there and he had to back off to get it down. Peterson's engine
went sour on the launch.
Left Lane: Runs 7.118/199.95, Now #1
Right Lane: Doug Vancil Runs 7.890/202.47, Now #2
Don't yet have the tech data on the rider in the left lane, but he's from
the Netherlands and this is his first outing in this division. He goes to the
provisional pole position on a straight, clean run. Vancil's bike balked on the
launch and he managed to get it to run after a bit of struggling.
Left Lane: Mike Romine Runs 7.302/173.67, Now #2
Right Lane: Johnny Mancuso Runs 8.354/110.30, Now #5
Mancuso left softly but had to abandon the run at half track. Clean, full
pass for Romine.
Left Lane: Bill Furr Runs 6.656/213.92, Now #1
Right Lane: Jim McClure Runs 6.733/211.41, Now #2
After watching the first four pairs struggle, we finally get two nice runs,
side by side.
Left Lane: Jack Romine Runs 12.813/75.18, Now #10
Right Lane: Steve Stordeur Runs 6.625/204.91, Now #1
Stordeur's bike backfired a couple times on this run, so the elapsed time
was amazing. Romine smoked the tire on the launch.
Left Lane: Ray Price Runs 14.025/157.12, Now #12
Right Lane: Mark Conner Runs 7.478/179.92, Now #6
Price's engine balked and almost stalled on the launch. Conner left hard,
but had to back off at mid track for some reason.

Results for Qualifying 2
STANTON, Mich. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Screamin'
Eagle Nitro Harley at the 19th annual CARQUEST Northern Nationals listing lane,
rider name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run,
best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane: Johnny Mancuso Runs 6.765/207.61, Now #4
Best prior run: 8.354/110.30, Was #9
Right Lane: Stan Verheijen No Time, Now #5
Best prior run: 7.118/199.95, Was #4
12:39 PM Verheijen hit the finish line reflectors, DQ'ing his run - and
Mancuso's run may not count either. The Dutchman was on a straight line toward
the finish line line marker from the launce. He leaned way to the right and the
bike just wouldn't come back away from the line. Mancuso was also over near the
centerline, but didn't appear to hit anything.
Left Lane: Jim McClure Runs 6.801/158.81, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.733/211.41, Was #3
Right Lane: Bill Furr Runs 6.698/201.11, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.656/213.92, Was #2
McClure was on a very good run until the top end, where he slowed, allowing
Furr to go by.
Left Lane: Steve Stordeur Runs 10.068/110.85, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.625/204.91, Was #1
Right Lane: Mike Romine Runs 6.855/188.32, Now #5
Best prior run: 7.302/173.67, Was #6
Stordeur's bike was smoking the rear tire and he shut it down. Romine was
battling with the bike all the way down the track, salvaging a good ET.
Left Lane: Allen Peterson No Time, Now #10
Best prior run: 8.648/150.50, Was #10
Right Lane: Jay Turner Runs 6.685/209.25, Now #3
Best prior run: 8.327/107.92, Was #9
Turner's problem yesterday was not the wheelie bar, it was the bump in the
left lane - he calls it a "launching ramp" - and said he felt like Evil Knievel
when his bike launched off the bump, the rear wheel leaving the track. When the
engine unloaded, the fuel system shut it down. Here he made a run more like we
expect from "Team Bulldog," the wheel in the air (but not uncontrollably) way down
the strip. Peterson broke on the launch, slowly coasting down the strip.
Left Lane: Doug Vancil Runs 6.914/209.15, Now #8
Best prior run: 7.890/202.47, Was #9
Right Lane: Ray Price Runs 6.823/190.27, Now #6
Best prior run: 14.025/157.12, Was #12
The bump spot these two were trying to better was Mark Conner's 7.478, so
both were more than capable of beating it. Both did so handily, Price overcoming
the new bike blues that have been dogging him and Vancil also getting in, making
it an all-six field. That bumped both Conner and Verheijen.
Left Lane: Mark Conner Runs 7.293/172.44, Now #11
Best prior run: 7.478/179.92, Was #10
Right Lane: Jack Romine Runs 7.067/192.63, Now #9
Best prior run: 12.813/75.18, Was #12
Two tried, two came up short, both engines struggling.

Left Lane: Johnny Mancuso Runs 7.284/151.43, Now #5
Best prior run: 6.765/207.61, Was #5
Right Lane: Steve Stordeur Runs 6.526/224.21, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.625/204.91, Was #1
11:54 AM Team bikes and they were side-by-side to 330 feet, but then
Mancuso fell back and slowed while Stordeur screamed down the strip, bettering his
#1 qualifying run by a tenth of a second a running the fastest speed ever.
Awesome!!! Remember, it's only time trials and doesn't count toward records, but
it's fun to watch.
Left Lane: Doug Vancil Runs 7.923/117.41, Now #8
Best prior run: 6.914/209.15, Was #8
Right Lane: Jay Turner Runs 6.723/213.21, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.685/209.25, Was #3
Nice pass by Turner, but after Stordeur's rocket shot it's
anti-climatic.
Left Lane: Ray Price Runs 6.676/195.43, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.823/190.27, Was #6
Right Lane: Bill Furr Runs 6.673/207.32, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.656/213.92, Was #2
A pair of good runs, Furr fighting for control while Price was smoothly down
the groove.
Left Lane: Mike Romine Runs 7.020/177.54, Now #7
Best prior run: 6.855/188.32, Was #7
Jim McClure is in the field but didn't show up for a time trial run. Don't
know yet if he's here or not. Romine made a good start, but there was a puff of
smoke from the bike just past half track and he slowed on the top end.
