listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following
run:
Left Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 6.345/223.10, Now #2
Right Lane: Chip King Runs 6.301/225.03, Now #1
1:48 PM Two low thirties in the first pair, King close to the track speed
record right out of the box.
Left Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.329/225.45, Now #2
Right Lane: Paul Athey Runs 6.352/207.69, Now #4
Two blower cars squared off here, and both made solid opening runs, the crisp
air apparently suiting the blower cars just fine. Pittman misses the track speed
mark by 0.04 mph.
Left Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.285/228.46, Now #1
Right Lane: Todd Howard No Time, Now #6
Nice pass by Janis to reset the track speed record decisively. Howard
launched and shut it down almost immediately with shake.
Left Lane: Steve Vick Runs 12.647/66.89, Now #7
Right Lane: Carl Moyer Runs 6.338/222.80, Now #4
Vick's Camaro turned hard left on the launch and he clicked it off.
Left Lane: Mike Castellana No Time, Now #10
Right Lane: Scott Ray Runs 7.266/140.33, Now #7
Castellana's car would not fire and Ray's lost fire at the end of the
burnout. Ray got it refired, but the car blew a bunch of "stuff" out the headers
on the run. It looked like oil, but there was nothing on the track, so maybe it
was steam (and that's not good news).
Left Lane: Steve Cossis Runs 6.409/222.18, Now #8
Right Lane: Shannon Jenkins Runs 6.301/223.76, Now #3
Two good runs, Jenkins very straight and smooth.
Left Lane: Michael Lockwood No Time, Now #14
Right Lane: Al Billes Runs 6.407/222.88, Now #8
Lockwood made a burnout and then shut it off. Billes' Studebaker was a bit
loose over the first 300 feet.
Left Lane: Ronnie Hood Runs 13.359/56.37, Now #13
Right Lane: Fred Hahn Runs 6.233/220.58, Now #1
Hood's Corvette went every direction but straight on the launch and he shut
it down. Hahn went right down the groove, the chute out as he crossed the line and
still quick enough to reset the track ET record.
Left Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.318/223.02, Now #5
Right Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 6.709/170.19, Now #12
This family bragging rights contest was fairly close to about 1,000 feet,
then there was a flash of flames from under Mitch's car and he coasted across the
line. Quain made a nice, straight, full pass.
Left Lane: Harold Martin Runs 9.490/105.94, Now #14
Right Lane: Steve Gabriel No Time, Now #20
Gabriel left way before the tree was activated - Martin was still staging!
Martin backed out and restaged, then one rear tire broke traction on the launch and
Martin backpedaled, then cruised through.
Right Lane: Kjell-Hakan Mostron Runs 14.417/56.26, Now #17
Mostron came all the way from Finland to shake the tires hard and coast
through.

Mitch Stott.

2:11 PM Athey had his hands full once again, the car heading for the wall

W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Al Billes (Quaker State '53 Studebaker) 0.538 6.436 222.77
(L) Steve Vick (Kyles Trucking '68 Chevy Camaro) 0.478 7.456 144.58
2:00 PM Vick leaves first, but has problems before the 330-foot marker and
Billes goes by for a surprisingly easy win.
(W) Carl Moyer (Karl Chevrolet '57 Chevy Bel Air 0.595 11.733 72.72
(L) Fred Hahn (Summit Racing '01 Chevy Corvette) 0.000(R) (Broke)
Hahn staged and then left, the timing system triggered by his rear wheels.
Moyer launched and slowed immediately, a winner nonetheless.
(W) Mike Janis (Jan Cen Engines '63 Chevy Corvet 0.461 6.291 222.66
(L) Paul Athey (Mohegan Sun '51 Mercury) 0.517 6.331 222.73
All Janis, away first and quickly down the groove with low ET of the round so
far. He will have lane choice against Billes in the semifinals.
(W) Quain Stott (Lee Boy '63 Chevy Corvette) 0.569 6.455 187.68
(L) Ronnie Hood (Fulwylie M'Sports '63 Chevy Cor 0.000(R) (Broke)
Hood's engine "melted down" in the first round and the team was unable to
make the switch in time to answer the staging call, so Stott got a test run here.
It may have been a planned 1,000-foot pass, hard to say, Stott on a good run to
that point, then slowing. He was more than quick enough to earn lane choice
against Moyer in the semifinals.

lost a lot of ground before the 330-foot marker. Moyer wins handily and advances
to the finals.
(W) Mike Janis (Jan Cen Engines '63 Chevy Corvet 1.877 13.808 83.00
(L) Al Billes (Quaker State '53 Studebaker) 0.000(R) (Broke)

Finals
EPPING, N.H. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of final, round 4 eliminations in
Mopar Pro Modified at the 6th annual Amalie Oil North American Nationals:
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Mike Janis (Jan Cen Engines '63 Chevy Corvet 0.496 6.318 226.58
(L) Carl Moyer (Karl Chevrolet '57 Chevy Bel Air 0.481 6.352 221.78
5:18 PM We're down to the last two finals - Pro Mod and Top Fuel. Janis was
expected to be here, but Moyer has struggled. At one point this season he
"retired," only to show up again and put on a great show here. Moyer left first
and then had his hands full, going the long route down the right lane in an
exciting drag race, Janis the winner but Moyer the sentimental favorite. Margin of
victory = 0.019 seconds (approximately 6 feet). That extends Janis' lead in the
championship a bit more, but there are still three events to go.
