BUDDS CREEK, Md. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Outlaw at

name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Leroy Dewdney Runs 6.352/218.27, Now #2
Right Lane: Dave Christensen Runs 6.267/213.43, Now #1
2:04 PM We open with a new entry in the left lane - don't know who it is,
but it's a tough-looking altered. Two good runs on the newly ground and paved
track surface.
Left Lane: Mick Snyder Runs 11.053/72.32, Now #4
Right Lane: Laurie Cannister Runs 6.130/208.05, Now #1
The points leaders square off in the second pair - Laurie launched with the
wheels up and storms to a very nice result. Snyder also had the wheels up on the
launch, but shut it down early, probably due to tire shake.
Left Lane: Michael Barclay Runs 6.131/223.58, Now #2
Right Lane: Scott Ray Runs 6.448/210.37, Now #5
Barclay posted a stout 0.967 60-foot time and ran away from Ray on a nice
pass, just a clock tick slower than Laurie.
Left Lane: Mike Decker No Time, Now #8
Right Lane: Mark McElwee Runs 9.938/102.71, Now #6
Decker's car was late to fire and he had to do an abbreviated burnout - then
had to drive out the other end when the car wouldn't go into reverse. McElwee went
through the clutch on the launch and shut it down.
Left Lane: Neal Parker Runs 6.175/225.26, Now #3
Right Lane: Ed Lyons Runs 6.455/200.53, Now #7
Parker's '48 Fiat joined those in the 'teens on a nice, smooth pass. Lyons
left hard, the wheels up, but fell back quickly from half track on.

Results for Qualifying 2
BUDDS CREEK, Md. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro Outlaw at
the 9th annual Expressautoparts.com President's Cup Nationals listing lane, driver
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: Grant Flowers Runs 6.694/197.74, Now #7
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Karen Haddock No Time, Now #11
No Prior Run
1:10 PM Haddock's engine died on the burnout and she had to be pushed back
behind the line before Flowers could make his run. Nice pass for Flowers, clean
and straight.
Left Lane: Ed Lyons No Time, Now #6
Best prior run: 6.455/200.53, Was #6
Right Lane: Neal Parker Runs 6.300/219.69, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.175/225.26, Was #3
Lyons broke on the launch and coasted through too slowly to get a time.
Parker's Fiat altered launched hard, but labored in the middle of the run.
Left Lane: Mark McElwee Runs 6.614/208.71, Now #8
Best prior run: 9.938/102.71, Was #9
Right Lane: Leroy Dewdney Runs 6.800/209.33, Now #9
No Prior Run
Dewdney was the mystery driver yesterday and his car failed tech after the
run, so his first run was disqualified. This run puts him ninth in the order,
half a second slower than yesterday. McElwee squeezes in on the bump spot with a
clean pass.
Left Lane: Scott Ray Runs 11.471/79.94, Now #6
Best prior run: 6.448/210.37, Was #5
Right Lane: Mike Decker Runs 6.102/217.74, Now #1
No Prior Run
Decker had problems yesterday so this was his first qualifying pass - and a
fine one indeed, the dragster carrying the front wheels for about 200 feet on the
launch and straight down the groove. Ray launched and slowed immediately, his
problem not evident from our vantage point.
Left Lane: Laurie Cannister Runs 6.142/217.07, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.130/218.05, Was #2
Right Lane: Michael Barclay Runs 6.124/222.00, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.131/223.58, Was #3
We mistakenly keyed in Cannister's speed as 208.05 mph yesterday, we
apologize for any confusion we caused. This was a nice show for the crowd, two
string-straight runs as Cannister and Barclay swap spots on the ladder.
Left Lane: Dave Christensen No Time, Now #6
Best prior run: 6.267/213.43, Was #5
Right Lane: Mick Snyder Runs 6.142/223.25, Now #4
Best prior run: 11.053/72.32, Was #11
Christensen's car failed to fire, so Snyder closed the session on a single,
the top five all in the 'teens now - a quick field indeed.

lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following
run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:

Right Lane: Dave Christensen Runs 11.687/29.00, Now #6
Best prior run: 6.267/213.43, Was #6
8:02 PM Big wheelie by Christensen, and it appeared something broke
immediately for Snyder. "Oh-for-two" so far this round.
Left Lane: Mike Decker Runs 6.122/218.94, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.102/217.74, Was #1
Right Lane: Laurie Cannister Runs 6.060/222.18, Now #1

order.

Best prior run: 6.175/225.26, Was #5
Right Lane: Grant Flowers No Time, Now #9
Best prior run: 6.694/197.74, Was #9
We were scheduled to see a pair of altereds face off, but Flowers'
"Voodooist" would not fire. Parker's car once again labored in the middle of the
run and he got close to the wall, so called it off.
Left Lane: Karen Haddock Runs 6.257/214.45, Now #6
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Ed Lyons No Time, Now #9
Best prior run: 6.455/200.53, Was #8
Haddock had problems getting the car out of reverse on the burnout, but
managed to get it staged. Then Lyons broke and Haddock bumped him from the field
on a nice last-ditch effort.
Right Lane: Scott Ray Runs 10.168/97.73, Now #8
Best prior run: 6.448/210.37, Was #8
Ray was the final car, so he was safely in the field, but he wanted to move
up and avoid a first-round match with the #1 qualifier. But tire shake ended his
run early and the field is set.
