DARLINGTON, S.C. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 1 qualifying
in Mopar Performance Parts Pro Modified at the 28th annual Prolong
Super Lubricants Winter Nationals listing lane, driver name,
elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.437/217.42, Now #1
Right Lane: Mel Eaves Runs 8.859/119.73, Now #2
12:16 PM Pittman is new to IHRA Pro Mod, but he's run Super Chevy
and Scotty Cannon is standing out there, showing his approval of
the run.
Left Lane: Troy Critchley Runs 8.452/110.16, Now #2
Right Lane: David Roemer Runs 22.706/33.47, Now #4
Critchley's run looked pretty good to half track, but shut it off,
so had a problem we couldn't see. Roemer was off the throttle
early.
Left Lane: Harold Martin Runs 6.434/215.58, Now #1
Right Lane: Michael Neal Runs 6.756/191.97, Now #3
Two good runs, Neal's car trailing puffs of smoke on the top end.
Left Lane: Tommy Mauney Runs 6.404/222.80, Now #1
Right Lane: Kevin O'Dell Runs 6.535/208.10, Now #4
Mauney screamed down the left lane, but to half track O'Dell was
right with him. Then Mauney pulled away and O'Dell's engine
started eating pistons.
Left Lane: Carl Spiering Runs 6.497/211.39, Now #4
Right Lane: Chris Cline Runs 6.734/193.27, Now #6
Spiering is sporting ECW sponsorship this year and makes an
extreme run to match. Cline's car steadily drifted left and he
just missed the timing markers at the finish line.
Left Lane: Dwayne White Runs 7.874/179.76, Now #8
Right Lane: Dale Westfall Runs 22.425/33.17, Now #11
Both cars spun the tires hard, Westfall worse than White.
Left Lane: Ron Kammes Runs 7.072/201.76, Now #9
Right Lane: Wayne Turkelson Runs 6.537/214.93, Now #6
Turkelson is an infrequent runner, but he made a nice pass here.
Kammes fell off the pace early in the run, the problem not
evident.
Left Lane: Tim McAmis Runs 6.524/212.86, Now #6
Right Lane: Tommy Gray Runs 6.424/218.02, Now #2
Gray moves right into the top part of the field on a nice opening
pass.
Left Lane: Chuck Nuytten Runs 6.628/206.13, Now #10
Right Lane: Ronnie Hood Runs 6.489/214.96, Now #5
Hood's car was all over the right lane and he still clocked a good
time.
Left Lane: Buzz Varner Runs 8.052/112.18, Now #16
Right Lane: Al Billes Runs 6.411/220.98, Now #2
Billes nailed it with the '63 Studebaker, a nice, quick run, only
one major course correction we could see.
Right Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 6.486/219.94, Now #6
Stott's car started to dive to the right at half track and he
drove through it nicely to save the run.
Left Lane: Carl Moyer Runs 6.483/214.14, Now #7
Right Lane: Barney Squiers Runs 6.473/213.64, Now #6
Two nice runs, side-by-side. The top ten cars are all under 6.5
seconds on their first pass of the weekend.
Left Lane: Randy Boler Runs 8.218/111.91, Now #21
Right Lane: Rickie Smith Runs 6.420/218.48, Now #3
"Tricky Rickie" makes it look easy, right down the
groove. Boler's car chattered the tires and skated all over the
lane.
Left Lane: Mike Castellana Runs 11.044/74.83, Now #25
Right Lane: Roy Wasko Runs 6.740/203.58, Now #17
Castellana had the wheels up and was headed for the centerline,
wisely shutting it down. Stroaight pass for Wasko, but off the
pace.
Left Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.456/218.23, Now #7
Right Lane: Terry Housley Runs 6.855/208.75, Now #20
Nice run by Stott - now the top twelve are under 6.5 seconds.
Left Lane: Ed Burnley Runs 6.721/205.32, Now #18
Right Lane: Dale Brinsfield Runs 6.470/217.70, Now #8
Burnely appeared to be on a good pass, but then the car twitched
and tried to go to the right. Nice pass by Brinsfield, now the top
thirteen are under 6.5 seconds.
Left Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 10.361/84.35, Now #30
Right Lane: Steve Vick Runs 6.422/219.29, Now #4
Hoover shook and abandoned the run, but Vick made a nice pass to
make it fourteen under 6.5 seconds on their first pass.
Left Lane: Fred Hahn Runs 6.551/212.06, Now #19
Right Lane: Billy Harper Runs 6.450/215.34, Now #8

This is a Dodge Viper - no kidding. It's in a really basic blue,
just leaving the Haas shop in the last couple of the days. Jenkins
has a horrible 60 foot, moves left, moves right, wiggles through
the middle of the track --- and puts his Viper into the show on
the car's first pass down the track! Amazing.

and then just sit there for well over minute. Finally, Pittman
turns on the stage light and Brinsfield pulls in right after him.
Brinsfield is out of the gate first and never looks back. If he
would of he could of seen Pittman head straight for the guardrail
right off the starting line. He pedals once has he attempts to get
it back into the groove, and then crosses the centerline.

covered until just past half track when a big puff of smoke comes
from the car. Mauney takes advantage and the win light.

parts and Stott moved out to win by a big margin.

Results for Final Round |
DARLINGTON, S.C. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of final, round 4
eliminations in Mopar Performance Parts Pro Modified at the 28th
annual Prolong Super Lubricants Winter Nationals:
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Ed Hoover ('63 Corvette) 0.463 11.735 115.35
(L) Tommy Gray ('53 Corvette) 0.395(R) 6.350 220.40
6:02 PM A '63 split-window against a '53 "bathtub." Gray
chose the left side against the local but then threw it in the
trashcan with a too-early launch. Hoover needed the break because
his car hooked with one rear tire and spun the other, the car
violently trying to go through the guard rail and Hoover reaching
deep into his driving skills to save it and stay legal. He did, no
contact with either the wall or the centerline, for the victory.
