Results for Qualifying 1
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Mopar Pro
Modified at the Third annual CARQUEST Autumn Nationals listing lane, driver name,
elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.391/216.24, Now #1
Right Lane: Steve Cossis No Time, Now #2
1:33 PM Cossis' car rolled back out of the staging beam when he brought the
RPMs up. Good opening pass for Pittman.
Left Lane: Ronnie Hood Runs 6.342/220.40, Now #2
Right Lane: Fred Hahn Runs 6.242/220.26, Now #1
Hahn's car didn't get off the starting line cleanly and still set a tough
challenge for the rest of the field. Good run by Hood, but Hahn left him far
behind.
Left Lane: Paul Athey Runs 6.494/200.62, Now #5
Right Lane: Steve Vick Runs 6.354/219.15, Now #3
Athey had top lift to keep the '51 Mercury on his side of the centerline.
Nice pass by Vick, no wiggles, no waggles.
Left Lane: Kjell-Hakan Mostron Runs 7.045/163.59, Now #7
Right Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 6.326/220.84, Now #2
Mostron chattered the tires and got very sideways. Very nice opening pass by
Hoover, clean and straight.
Left Lane: Todd Howard Runs 6.487/215.68, Now #6
Right Lane: Carl Moyer Runs 6.555/215.96, Now #8
Both cars ran well to half track, then had problems.
Left Lane: Harold Martin Runs 6.409/222.25, Now #6
Right Lane: Mike Castellana Runs 10.305/77.77, Now #11
Castellana chattered the tires and slowed.
Left Lane: Chris Cline Runs 10.209/105.23, Now #12
Right Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.293/223.06, Now #2
In this pair it was Cline with starting line problems while Janis came out of
the box with a competitive tuneup, looking to clinch the championship here at
Rockingham.
Left Lane: Tim McAmis Runs 6.440/216.72, Now #8
Right Lane: Chip King Runs 7.447/131.97, Now #13
King's car spit out the blower belt at half track. No visible problems for
McaMis, but he needs to pick up a tenth of a second to be competitive.
Left Lane: Scott Ray Runs 8.631/97.71, Now #15
Right Lane: Shannon Jenkins Runs 6.325/219.61, Now #3
Ray's Corvette sports a hood scoop this weekend in an attempt to solve the
fuel system problems that have plagued him. No joy here, the car off the pace from
the start. Nice pass for "the Ice Man."
Left Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.377/219.83, Now #7
Right Lane: Jerry Williams Runs 6.536/207.69, Now #13
Two clean runs, Stott getting a good baseline run on the books here.
Left Lane: Todd Tutterow Runs 12.017/77.33, Now #21
Right Lane: Tommy Mauney Runs 6.365/220.30, Now #7
Tutterow's car turned hard left on the launch and he had to lift. Nice
opening pass by mauney, straight and smooth.
Left Lane: Danny Perry No Time, Now #24
Right Lane: Kevin O'Dell Runs 6.427/214.42, Now #11
Perry's new '63 split-window Corvette got out of the groove, then fishtailed
and the rear end swung out to the left, clipping the wall, the rear wing peeling
the trackside signs off the wall. The car rolled over once and it appeared that
the throttle hung open because when the rear of the car came down the car went into
a violent series of side-over-side barrel rolls at half track. The car shed the
hood and several body panels before coming to a stop, upside down, in the middle of
the track. After an anxious few minutes, we heard the call from the safety crew,
"He's out of the car and being checked out." He appears to be okay, but his new
race car is a mess.
Left Lane: Burton Auxier Runs 10.996/79.15, Now #22
Right Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 12.493/83.33, Now #24
Stott shook and shut off. Auxier had a nitrous explosion.
Left Lane: Ken Regenthal Runs 10.100/89.42, Now #20
Right Lane: Thomas Patterson Runs 11.422/77.85, Now #24
Lots of tire chatter here, Patterson getting very sideways.
Right Lane: Not on File No Time, Now #29
Don't know who this is, but it's a radical '34 Chevy with a blower. Same
story as many others, lots of tire chatter and shake. He also left before the tree
was activated, so it was a totally wasted run.

Best prior run: 10.100/89.42, Was #18
9:41 PM Patterson's right rear tire bit, the left rear didn't. The car
turned hard left and he shut it off. Regenthal made a nice, soft pass to get into
the field - for now, anyway.
Left Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 6.282/221.38, Now #2
Best prior run: 12.493/83.33, Was #20
Right Lane: Burton Auxier Runs 19.312/40.83, Now #21

turning hard right on the launch. No problems for Stott, hard and quick all the
way down the track.
Left Lane: Kevin O'Dell Runs 6.379/218.09, Now #11
Best prior run: 6.427/214.42, Was #13
Right Lane: Todd Tutterow Runs 6.331/217.32, Now #6
Best prior run: 12.017/77.33, Was #20

Best prior run: 6.536/207.69, Was #18
Right Lane: Chris Cline Runs 10.863/79.79, Now #21

Runs 8.220/133.09, Now #20
Best prior run: 7.045/163.59, Was #19

No Prior Run
Right Lane: Todd Howard Runs 6.431/215.44, Now #16
Best prior run: 6.487/215.68, Was #17

Right Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.312/212.16, Now #4
Best prior run: 6.377/219.83, Was #11
Castellana slowed immediately, couldn't see why. Stott made a very nice run
to move out of the bottom half of the field.
Left Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.243/223.02, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.293/223.06, Was #3
Right Lane: Harold Martin Runs 6.372/212.83, Now #12
Best prior run: 6.409/222.25, Was #14
Janis made a very nice run, right down the groove. Martin's run also looked
pretty good, but the trackside spotters took a close look at his lane and called
for the cleanup crew, a black flag penalty called for oil on the track.
Left Lane: Fred Hahn Runs 6.260/221.49, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.242/220.26, Was #1
Right Lane: Paul Athey Runs 6.396/211.86, Now #15

so he shut it off.

No Prior Run
Pesz's car drifted steadily left and he had to yank it back to the groove.
He also went off the top end of the track. All in all, not a good day.
Right Lane: Gary Ellis Runs 7.559/175.05, Now #24
No Prior Run
Ellis made his burnout, backed up, then shut the engine off to wait for the
safety crew to tow Pesz out of the way. Ellis' car is painted silver and red, in a
Confederate flag motif, and the car is called "Southern Thunder." He's working on
his license, so probably won't show on the qualifying sheets.

No Prior Run
8:51 PM Lockwood reached deep down and came up with a strong, straight final
run to bump Kevin O'Dell and put Harold Martin on the bubble at 6.372. One of the
cars went a bit long at the bottom of the hill (can't see it from here), so there
was a brief pause in the action.
Right Lane: Carl Moyer Runs 6.341/218.30, Now #10
Best prior run: 6.342/209.01, Was #10
Moyer made a single pass and improved a whole thousandth of a second on a

Just-bumped Martin fails to improve, leaving him in the first alternate slot.

of steam on the top end and came up short. King made a good run, but nipped a
couple pistons on the top end and slowed.
Right Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.249/224.17, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.243/223.02, Was #2
Janis had a great launch, a 1.014 60-foot time, but could not match Hahn's
pace on the top end.
Right Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 6.253/221.63, Now #4
Best prior run: 6.297/218.02, Was #8
10:03 PM Hoover chose to make the rerun since he was on a good run when
something stopped the finish line clocks. The rerun was worth it, a pretty run,
right down the groove. Meanwhile, we have word that Fred Hahn's run won't count
because the car came up light at the scales.

Results for Final Round
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of final, round 4 eliminations
in Mopar Pro Modified at the Third annual CARQUEST Autumn Nationals:
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Fred Hahn (Summit Racing '01 Chevy Corvette) 0.464 6.567 169.93

9:12 PM Last year's champion and the points leader for this year's title
square off in the final round. Janis is close to clinching the title, leading Alan
Pittman by almost 300 points at this point. The race was a white-knuckler in both
lanes, both cars all over the lane and neither driver wanting to lift. From this
end of the track it looked like either or both were going to hit the wall. Both
drivers put the chutes out early, the win light on in Hahn's lane. Margin of
victory = 0.027 seconds (approximately 7 feet). Track safety workers checked both
lanes and reported that Janis crossed the track boundary line, about three feet
from the wall, but Hahn did not. Then they went to work on the track, trying to
regain the traction that the rain apparently washed away.
