Left Lane: Terry Walters Runs 6.830/201.94, Now #1
Right Lane: Rocky Watford Runs 13.975/57.64, Now #2
12:18 PM Under hazy skies and with cool temps, we should see some quick runs
today. Watford slowed immediately, couldn't see why. Full pass for Walters.
Left Lane: John Konigshofer Runs 6.609/209.98, Now #1
Right Lane: Chuck De Mory Runs 7.355/196.87, Now #3
DeMory's car bogged, then took off. Konigshofer sets the bar very high for
those who follow.
Left Lane: Randy Moore Runs 6.685/208.07, Now #3
Right Lane: Jerry Yeoman Runs 6.651/209.36, Now #2
Two nice, straight passes here...
Left Lane: Tom Lee Runs 6.603/210.67, Now #1
Right Lane: Johnny McLain Runs 6.932/203.49, Now #6
Two clean passes, Lee strong and straight down the groove.
Left Lane: Carl Baker No Time, Now #10
Right Lane: Angelo Alesci Runs 6.619/209.23, Now #3
Baker shook and then broke on the launch, almost coasting to a stop before he
got it refired and drove it away. Nice pass by Alesci, clean and smooth.
Left Lane: Dwayne Rice Runs 6.672/208.62, Now #6
Right Lane: David Jenkins Runs 6.670/208.55, Now #5
Two nice passes here, just a few thousandths of a second and a fraction of a
mile per hour apart.
Left Lane: Chris Holbrook Runs 6.737/205.69, Now #9
Right Lane: Gene Wilson Runs 6.598/209.82, Now #1
Two clean runs...Rockingham winner Wilson the first into the fifties here at
VMP.
Left Lane: Steve Williford Runs 6.683/208.39, Now #9
Right Lane: John Montecalvo Runs 6.620/209.07, Now #5
And two more...
Left Lane: Ron Miller Runs 6.616/210.31, Now #4
Right Lane: Tony Fox Runs 7.784/171.71, Now #16
Fox's Mustang bogged on the launch, then came back to life - looked almost
like he was using a throttle stop! Nice, clean pass by Miller.
Left Lane: Elijah Morton Runs 6.661/211.30, Now #8
Right Lane: Brian Gahm Runs 6.730/205.32, Now #13
Two more clean passes, the field getting quicker and quicker.
Left Lane: Steve Spiess Runs 6.694/208.14, Now #13
Right Lane: Bob Holzer Runs 13.973/59.03, Now #20
Holzer got the wheels way up and then the car slowed. Pretty good run by
Spiess, but only good enough for the bottom part of the ever-quickening field.
Left Lane: Jason Collins Runs 6.662/210.80, Now #9
Right Lane: Ed Machacek Runs 6.702/207.30, Now #15
Two more good runs, the first-round bump spot now a 6.730!
Left Lane: Doug Kirk Runs 6.714/207.88, Now #16
And Kirk lowers the bump even further.
Right Lane: Terry Leggett Runs 6.678/206.51, Now #12
Leggett was on a new-car single and made a very good first pass, the first
time we've seen him, solidly in the field and lowering the bump to 6.702 with
three rounds remaining!
Left Lane: Richard Penland No Time, Now #27
Penland came up to make his inaugural pass in Pro Stock, but had problems on
the line and didn't make a run.
Right Lane: Wally Stroupe Runs 12.981/83.66, Now #24
New car for Stroupe, a '01 Pontiac Grand Am, so he also got a solo pass. The
new car blues did him in, the car turning hard right on the launch, barely missing
the wall.

6:19 PM After just one qualifying session this is already the quickest Pro
Stock field in history, Ed Machacek's 6.703 bump time quicker than the 6.709 bump
at last year's President's Cup Nationals at Budds Creek. Leggett steps up once
again with a fine pass, but Kirk's car wagged its tail several times and he
slowed.
Left Lane: Ed Machacek Runs 6.764/206.73, Now #16
Best prior run: 6.702/207.30, Was #16
Right Lane: Jason Collins Runs 6.637/210.57, Now #7

Best prior run: 7.784/171.71, Was #23
Right Lane: Ron Miller Runs 6.631/210.57, Now #4
Best prior run: 6.616/210.31, Was #4
This time Fox's car shook and danced, forcing him to pedal it. Nice pass by
Miller, but no help.
Left Lane: Angelo Alesci Runs 14.933/75.39, Now #6
Best prior run: 6.619/209.23, Was #5

Best prior run: 6.932/203.49, Was #21
Right Lane: Elijah Morton Runs 6.638/211.69, Now #9
Best prior run: 6.661/211.30, Was #12
Nice pass by Morton, but McLain is still looking for the combination, though
his is one of the better runs in the left lane.
Left Lane: Gene Wilson Runs 6.613/209.79, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.598/209.82, Was #2
Right Lane: Carl Baker Runs 6.614/211.46, Now #5
No Prior Run
This time Baker got it right, the car straight down the groove and into the
field, bumping Spiess. Now the bump belongs to Randy Moore at 6.691. Oh yeah,

Right Lane: Steve Williford No Time, Now #15

Right Lane: Randy Moore Runs 6.620/210.57, Now #8
Best prior run: 6.685/208.07, Was #16
Moore goes from the bubble to the top half of the field (barely) on a good
effort. Now the bump is Williford's 6.691.
Right Lane: Richard Penland Runs 7.086/185.15, Now #24
No Prior Run
Penland broke on his first attempt. so this is his new-car solo pass in his
Wally Stroupe team car.

No Prior Run
Stroupe closes the session in his new Grand Am, the car with the front end in

Right Lane: Rocky Watford Runs 6.812/203.65, Now #24

Lee heads toward the wall just past 60' and shuts it down.

Right Lane: David Jenkins Runs 6.683/208.26, Now #16

Jenkins doesn't help his cause here.
Right Lane: Brian Gahm No Time, Now #22
Best prior run: 6.730/205.32, Was #22
David Jenkins has survived the round so far on the bubble and Gahm has the
last chance to knock him off. He'll have to run a weekend best. No dice, Gahm
drives through the clutch and shuts it down at half track. Maybe Jenkins should buy
a lottery ticket for tonight's drawing?
