BUDDS CREEK, Md. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Mopar Pro
Modified at the Tenth annual CARQUEST Auto Parts President's Cup Nationals listing
lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Kent Ferrell Runs 14.554/75.46, Now #1
Right Lane: Marc Hayes No Time, Now #2
3:28 PM Hayes left before the tree was activated. Ferrell launched, shook,
and shut it down.
Left Lane: Billy Harper Runs 20.534/34.99, Now #3
Right Lane: Mark Hemling Runs 12.651/76.95, Now #1
Hemling's car is painted in a red, white, and blue bunting motif. It doesn't
help. Both cars shook, Hemling backing off and cruising through while Harper
coasted with a dead engine.
Left Lane: Ed Burnley Jr No Time, Now #6
Right Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 6.797/162.22, Now #1
Burnley had a nitrous explosion, sending pieces of "stuff" flying. Stott's
run looked okay, but he was out of it way before the finish line.
Left Lane: Chris Cline Runs 11.589/75.83, Now #3
Right Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.186/229.70, Now #1
Cline's car shook and danced on the launch, but Janis' car went straight down
the groove, destroying both ends of the track record and running a pending World
speed record.
Left Lane: Scott Ray Runs 7.173/185.33, Now #3
Right Lane: Michael Faucher No Time, Now #10
Faucher is driving Kjell-Hakan Mostrom's Corvette, Mostrom back in Sweden
tending to the furniture business. He has problems on the launch, the car
sputtering and then coasting, the chute popping out as he pulled over next to the
wall. Ray got his car down the track, nothing spectacular, but with the problems
he's been having it's a step in the right direction.
Left Lane: Carl Moyer Runs 6.312/222.47, Now #2
Right Lane: Michael Lockwood Runs 6.362/222.51, Now #3
Two pretty good opening runs, both teams getting a nice baseline to tune
from.
Left Lane: Steve Vick Runs 10.902/78.82, Now #7
Right Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.275/226.92, Now #2
Vick's Camaro launched into shake, moving first toward the wall and then
making a hard move toward the centerline. Pittman went right down the groove with
no visible shake.
Left Lane: Harold Martin Runs 13.386/68.33, Now #11
Right Lane: Chip King Runs 6.331/225.30, Now #4
King made a nice run, clean and straight. Martin launched straight ahead,
but his rear tires were chattering and he shut it down.
Left Lane: Ronnie Hood Runs 6.306/223.10, Now #3
Right Lane: Kevin O'Dell Runs 6.414/219.15, Now #7
Hood shows there's nothing wrong with the left lane with a smooth, straight
opening effort. O'Dell's run was also clean and straight, but a full tenth slower
than Hood's.
Left Lane: Quain Stott Runs 11.245/71.38, Now #12
Right Lane: Steve Cossis Runs 8.928/98.33, Now #10
Stott shook and shut off. Cossis launched and then there were several
flashes of flame from under the car, but no oil on the track.
Left Lane: Paul Athey Runs 6.841/158.69, Now #9
Right Lane: Shannon Jenkins Runs 13.471/62.63, Now #17
Athey was on a good run, but the engine went silent way before the finish
line. Jenkins launched, shook, headed for the centerline, and shut it off.
Left Lane: Mike Castellana No Time, Now #0
Right Lane: Barney Squiers No Time, Now #0
Left Lane: Mike Castellana Runs 7.894/108.01, Now #11
Right Lane: Barney Squiers Runs 8.566/126.32, Now #12
Both cars shook and both drivers pedaled, Castellana getting very close to
the wall before throwing in the towel.
Left Lane: Fred Hahn Runs 7.058/139.10, Now #11
Right Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 6.327/220.91, Now #5
Hahn launched hard and appeared to be enroute to a very quick elapsed time,
but there was a flash of vapor from under the car at half track and the engine went
silent. Hoover made a nice opening run, clean and mostly straight.
Left Lane: Tommy Mauney Runs 16.688/64.33, Now #24
Right Lane: Carl Spiering Runs 6.555/216.65, Now #9
The previous pair of cars stopped short and these two had to shut their
engines off after completing their burnouts and preparing to stage. Both teams
chose to run immediately instead of cooling down and coming back later. Mauney's
car slowed immediately. Spiering's car went toward the wall and he did a job of
driving to save the run.
Left Lane: Al Billes Runs 9.950/91.28, Now #18
Right Lane: Ed Wasserbeck Runs 6.899/157.43, Now #12
Last pair of the round. Billes shook, headed for the centerline, and shut it
off. Wasserbeck sacrificed an engine, leaving a heavy smoke cloud starting at half
track. But the track was dry, no oil.

Modified at the Tenth annual CARQUEST Auto Parts President's Cup Nationals listing
lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following
run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane: Tommy Gray No Time, Now #29
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Thomas Patterson Runs 13.644/109.29, Now #18
No Prior Run
10:09 PM Gray didn't run in the first round and has been conspicuously
absent most of the 2001 season. It's a popular car with the fans and it's good to
see him back. Gray pulled the trigger too early and then shook hard. Patterson
launched and his car went into wild gyrations, fishtailing violently and up on two
wheels at least once before he reined it in. The track crew reported fuel on the
track, so he may have had a fuel leak that lubricated at least one of the rear
tires.
Left Lane: Ed Wasserbeck Runs 11.089/74.89, Now #12
Best prior run: 6.899/157.43, Was #12
Right Lane: Al Billes Runs 11.140/78.85, Now #15
Best prior run: 9.950/91.28, Was #15
Both cars spun the tires and shook hard, Wasserbeck heading for the
centerline and Billes toward the wall.
Left Lane: Carl Spiering No Time, Now #9
Best prior run: 6.555/216.65, Was #9
Right Lane: Tommy Mauney No Time, Now #20
No Prior Run
Spiering's car almost clipped the wall and both cars shook hard, then
coasted. Missed their times.
Left Lane: Michael Faucher Runs 11.356/76.05, Now #17
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Paul Athey Runs 15.333/48.14, Now #11
Best prior run: 6.841/158.69, Was #11
Same story, both cars overpowering the launch pad.
Left Lane: Mike Janis No Time, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.186/229.70, Was #1
Right Lane: Mike Castellana No Time, Now #28
No Prior Run
These two made their burnouts and then shut their engines off, the previous
pair not clear of the top end. Race officials huddle and decided to pull the plug,
the track too cold and damp to hold the power these cars generate. The cars
remaining in line will receive their five-point award for clean runs, but we're
through for the evening except for the jet-powered exhibition runs.

Best prior run: 6.414/219.15, Was #8
Right Lane: Scott Ray No Time, Now #29
No Prior Run
2:42 PM Time for "the bad boys!" The bump spot as we open the third round
is Quain Stott's 11.245, so you know the field will scramble before this round is
over. Ray's car was fishtailing as he launched and kept on wiggling, moving
further and further to the left, finally crossing the centerline just before half
track (but he missed the timing reflectors). Clean pass for O'Dell, well ahead of
Ray before they shared the left lane.
Left Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 11.224/79.79, Now #5
Best prior run: 6.327/220.91, Was #5
Right Lane: Paul Athey Runs 10.132/85.30, Now #11
Best prior run: 6.841/158.69, Was #11
One car we won't see is Carl Moyer - he sold his car and "retired" last
night.
Athey had the front wheels way up and the rear tires spinning.
Hoover launched hard and then slowed immediately.
Left Lane: Steve Cossis Runs 6.348/220.98, Now #7
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Ed Burnley Jr Runs 7.001/170.97, Now #14

Best prior run: 6.797/162.22, Was #11
Right Lane: Kent Ferrell Runs 13.390/86.07, Now #22
No Prior Run
Ferrell's car shook and danced on the launch and he shut it down. Stott's
pass looked okay, but he was off the pace all the way down the track.
Left Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.192/229.47, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.186/229.70, Was #1
Right Lane: Harold Martin Runs 6.383/222.25, Now #9
Best prior run: 13.386/68.33, Was #21

and Martin moving into the field. That bumps Barney Squiers, putting Fred Hahn on
the bubble at 7.058.
Left Lane: Shannon Jenkins Runs 6.242/224.51, Now #2
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Chris Cline Runs 11.505/99.98, Now #22

Left Lane: Mark Hemling Runs 6.393/222.11, Now #11
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Steve Vick Runs 10.647/76.57, Now #21

Vick had the front wheels in the air and the rear tires shaking, so he shut
it down. Nice run by Hemling to bump Burnley. Now the bump spot is Ed
Wasserbeck's 6.899.
Left Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.282/225.11, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.275/226.92, Was #3
Right Lane: Mike Castellana Runs 9.784/80.28, Now #20
No Prior Run
Castellana's '57 Chevy shook and turned hard left on the launch, so he shut
it down. Nice, straight pass by Pittman, his second twenty of the weekend.
Left Lane: Michael Lockwood Runs 9.813/90.69, Now #9
Best prior run: 6.362/222.51, Was #9
Right Lane: Tommy Mauney Runs 10.442/93.34, Now #22

marker.
Left Lane: Tommy Gray Runs 6.588/214.66, Now #17
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Fred Hahn Runs 6.124/230.49, Now #1
Best prior run: 7.058/139.10, Was #21
Hahn was on a good run yesterday and had engine problems. No engine problems

much of the run, almost crossing the centerline.

Best prior run: 11.356/76.05, Was #27
Right Lane: Al Billes Runs 6.374/225.15, Now #11

8:37 PM Here we go with the last round of qualifying for this event. The
bump is Mitch Stott's 6.425 and that should fall rather early in the round. Both
cars shook and danced, almost collecting the wall before shutting down.
Left Lane: Al Billes Runs 11.170/81.07, Now #12
Best prior run: 6.374/225.15, Was #12

Best prior run: 6.186/229.70, Was #2
Janis runs the quickest and fastest lap in history, resetting the World speed
record at 230.53 but running too quickly to use his 6.186 as a backup for an ET

the track.

eons short of the bump time.
Right Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 19.351/36.15, Now #6
Best prior run: 6.275/226.92, Was #6

12:56 PM Stott is in as first-alternate, for suddenly-retired Carl Moyer.
Stott launched, shook, skated around a bit, and pulled the plug. Lockwood spun the
tires hard on the launch, killing his elapsed time, but won easily.
(W) Ed Hoover (Trussel Constr. '63 Chevy Corvett 0.450 6.316 223.91
(L) Ronnie Hood (Fulwylie M'Sports '63 Chevy Cor 0.466 6.329 222.03
Two good runs, the cars not far apart on the launch and tied together all the
way to the line. Margin of victory = 0.029 seconds (approximately 9 feet).
(W) Shannon Jenkins ('68 Chevy Camaro) 0.516 6.940 217.77
(L) Mark Hemling ('63 Chevy Corvette) 0.437 7.797 212.09
Hemling got in on a last-ditch run last night. Both cars shook, Hemling
slowing immediately and Jenkins about 100 feet out. Then each driver realized the
other was having problems and got back in it, Jenkins with better momentum and the
win.
(W) Mike Janis (Jan Cen Engines '63 Chevy Corvet 0.446 6.173 229.90
(L) Quain Stott (Lee Boy '63 Chevy Corvette) 0.502 6.459 221.60
Janis needed a 6.173 to back up his 6.112 as an ET record and he did exactly
that. Stott's car shook and skated around a bit and fell behind quickly. The
speed also backs up his 230.53 as the new speed record. Janis has lane choice
against Lockwood in round two.
(W) Fred Hahn (Summit Racing '01 Chevy Corvette) 3.518 6.169 231.20
(L) Kevin O'Dell (O'Dell Electric '53 Studebaker 0.547 9.979 87.82

Janis. That also gives him lane choice over Hoover next round.
(W) Chip King ('01 Dodge Avenger) 0.531 6.303 223.54
(L) Al Billes (Quaker State '53 Studebaker) 0.480 11.415 71.94

violently.

(L) Steve Cossis (CompetitionPlus.com '53 Chevy 0.441 8.245 116.64

(L) Harold Martin (AC Delco '02 Pontiac Grand Am 0.479 9.194 121.61
Martin launched, shook, and shut off. Patterson made a good run, but nipped
a bunch of pistons in the lights. He will have lane choice over King next
round.

(L) Alan Pittman (Westbrook M'Sports '41 Willys) 0.442 6.271 225.60
2:32 PM We open the second round with a great drag race, the two cars welded
together all the way down the track. Pittman led early, but "The Ice Man" led
where it counts. Margin of victory = 0.003 seconds (approximately 12 inches).
(W) Mike Janis (Jan Cen Engines '63 Chevy Corvet 0.515 6.188 229.63
(L) Michael Lockwood ('66 Chevy Corvette) 0.483 6.380 222.77
Lockwood had the better light, but his car went out toward the wall and he
was no match for Janis' potent beast today.
(W) Chip King ('01 Dodge Avenger) 0.512 6.272 225.03
(L) Thomas Patterson (Texas Head Hunter '63 Corv 0.670 8.137 117.99
Patterson was dead late and then his engine went away with a spray of "stuff"
out the hood opening and under the car. It may have been water, it was coming up
in front of the blower. King advances, losing lane choice to Janis.
(W) Ed Hoover (Trussel Constr. '63 Chevy Corvett 1.521 12.419 83.03
(L) Fred Hahn (Summit Racing '01 Chevy Corvette) 0.000(R) (Broke)
Hahn was at the head of the staging lanes, but did not make a burnout.
Hoover idled through and it looked like his car was also a cripple, trailing smoke
on a very easy pass. He gives up lane choice against Jenkins in the
semifinals.
