Results for Elimination Round 1

STANTON, Mich. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of round 1 eliminations in Lizzard Racing Engines TS Shootout at the 20th annual CARQUEST Northern Nationals:

 W/L  Driver                                       RT        ET   Speed

 (W) Carl Rossler ('55 Bel Air)                  0.736      6.806 196.85
 (L) Jim Detrick ('99 Probe)                     0.472      8.213 123.85
6:50 PM Right on time, the "Night of Fire" begins with the Lizzard Racing Engines Top Sportsman Quick 8. Rossler's crew had a problem getting the driver's door closed after fanning the smoke out of the car from the burnout and that may have distracted him because he was extremely late. But luck was with Rossler, Detrick launching into violent shake, the car bouncing and all over the lane. By the time he recovered, he was trailing Rossler, who posted his best ET of the weekend for the win.
 (W) Harry Rockwell ('92 Probe)                  0.569      7.505 134.77
 (L) Al Matarazzo ('88 Thunderbird)              0.480     11.470  74.42
Matarazzo launched and his car went through some violent gyrations, almost hitting the guard rail before he got it tamed down. Rockwell was on a good pass to half track and then his engine started eating itself. He got the win light, but may not be able to return.
 (W) Kenny Rucker ('63 Corvette)                 0.519      6.679 209.62
 (L) Doug Mills ('93 Thunderbird)                0.495      6.873 204.01
Good drag race, Mills away first and Rucker going by at half track for the win. He will have lane choice against Rossler in the semifinals.
 (W) Scot Johnson ('92 Firebird)                 0.529      6.786 206.61
 (L) Tim Decoff ('67 Nova)                       0.498      7.029 194.91
Decoff got a small holeshot, not nearly enough to hold off Johnson. Johnson has lane choice against Rockwell in the semis.

 W/L  Driver                                       RT        ET   Speed

 (W) Harry Rockwell ('92 Probe)                  0.562      6.977 170.08
 (L) Scot Johnson ('92 Firebird)                 0.000(R)  (Broke)
7:57 PM Johnson got the "yips" and left before the tree started down. Rockwell got the freebie, but wounded the engine in the lights, leaving a trail of oil on the top end and shutdown area.
 (W) Kenny Rucker ('63 Corvette)                 1.363     15.089  59.77
 (L) Carl Rossler ('55 Bel Air)                            (Broke)
Rossler was unable to return after losing an engine in the first round and Rucker just drove it through to advance to the finals, where he may be able to do the same thing for the Quick 8 win if Rockwell's engine is too badly damaged to continue.
