 W/L  Driver                                 RT        ET   Speed

 (W) Jim Detrick ('90 Probe)                0.518     7.466 195.14
 (L) Mike Hartis ('99 Corvette)             0.552     7.528 203.86
5:47 PM The first Friday "Night of Fire" is starting early because there's some severe weather headed this way, lightning already visible behind the tower. We open with the Shootout, always a wild show. Detrick gets the win at both ends of the track.
     Bryon Rich ('63 Corvette)
     Al Matarazzo ('88 Thunderbird)
Just as these two started to stage, a light sprinkle started to dot the racing surface. So they shut them down and pushed the cars back off the launch pad. Stand by for updates.
 (W) Darrell Thomas ('98 Camaro)            0.545     8.836 111.33
 (L) Mike Stawicki ('69 Camaro)             0.779    18.953  35.45
12:38 PM Saturday - and we resume. Both cars with problems, Stawicki slowly going down the track and Thomas violently fishtailing on the top end - but he won it anyway.
 (W) Bryon Rich ('63 Corvette)              0.501     6.727 203.19
 (L) Al Matarazzo ('88 Thunderbird)         0.572     6.970 198.93
Rich left first and then pulled away to win by a margin of victory = 0.314 seconds (approximately 92 feet).
 (L) Mike Swinarski ('99 Firebird)          0.000     6.727 203.19
 (W) Richard Penland ('95 Corvette)         0.667     7.939 170.95
Swinarski was a no-show, giving Penland a free pass to the semifinals. In the semifinals it's Matarazzo with lane choice over Thomas and Detrick over Penland.
