Right Lane: Steve Vick Runs 10.799/97.22, Now #4

Right Lane: Scott Ray Runs 7.254/138.39, Now #18

Right Lane: Chip King Runs 6.493/220.30, Now #11
King shook the tires at 300 feet but was able to stay with the run. Patterson

Right Lane: Troy Critchley Runs 6.378/220.55, Now #4

Right Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.412/224.32, Now #5

Left Lane: Mike Johnson Runs 7.208/195.96, Now #25
Right Lane: Mike Lockwood Runs 6.409/220.44, Now #5
Lockwood got loose and used up a lot of track before he drifted toward the
center line. Johnson drifted toward the wall.
Left Lane: Rickie Smith Runs 6.371/217.53, Now #5
Right Lane: Tim McAmis Runs 6.347/222.73, Now #2
Both drivers had really good looking runs going until they hit the 1,000 foot
mark. After that, McAmis's car got loose and started to dance around the track.
Smith's car got loose and drifted toward the wall. Neither driver backed off and
both ended up with good times for this round.
Left Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.370/220.33, Now #5
Right Lane: Steve Salvadore Runs 8.589/106.29, Now #32

Right Lane: Paul Athey Runs 8.795/104.30, Now #34

and went sideways on the track. Foltz was smooth but slow.
Left Lane: Mark Mchugh Runs 11.851/89.98, Now #42
Right Lane: Bobby Baucom Runs 6.587/216.79, Now #22
McHugh was really loose as he came off the starting line so he just shut it
down. Baucom was smoother but was not quick enough to make the field.
Right Lane: Brian Daniels Runs 6.593/215.24, Now #23
A smooth run but not enough speed to make the field.
Left Lane: Dale Brinsfield Runs 6.556/212.93, Now #21
This is Brinsfield's first race in his new, supercharged '41 Willys.
Brinsfield was supposed to run earlier in this session but after he did his
burnout, the track spotters noticed oil at the end of the track and shut him down.
When the cleanup was continued, Brinsfield decided to make his run at the end of
the session so he had time to cool his car's engine.

field. Stott did just what he wanted to do with a very strong run that moved him up
12 spots in the qualifying order, with the third quickest time of the day so far.

Best prior run: 10.946/78.44, Was #45

No Prior Run
Right Lane: Mike Stawicki Runs 6.918/198.85, Now #35

2:43 PM - At the start of the third round of Pro Mod qualifying, the air
temperature was 79 degrees at 48 percent humidity. The barometric pressure was
30.14 and steady and the skies were sunny without a cloud in the sky. Stawicki
shook and spun the tires for the first 100 feet, but he stuck with it to complete
the run. Auxier started better but got really loose at 330 feet and had to back off
the throttle.
Left Lane: Johnny Rocca Runs 6.984/153.77, Now #31
Best prior run: 6.606/221.23, Was #31
Right Lane: Carl Bullock Runs 6.461/217.60, Now #22

Left Lane: Fred Hahn Runs 12.060/83.10, Now #14
Best prior run: 6.394/221.02, Was #14
Right Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 6.260/226.81, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.321/224.81, Was #4
Hahn came into this round sitting in the 14th position and with so many cars
outside the field, he wanted to move up to protect his position in the top 16. This
time, he spun the tires at 60 feet and had to back off. Stott had a really strong
run and moved up three spots in the order with the lowest ET of the weekend so
far.
Left Lane: Tommy Gray Runs 6.399/219.86, Now #15
Best prior run: 6.404/220.80, Was #15
Right Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.379/223.17, Now #9

Pittman shook the tires at 60 feet but he stayed with it and was only nine
thousandths of a second slower than his best time of the weekend. Gray beat his
previous best of the weekend by five thousandths of a second but it was not enough
to change his spot in the order.

Best prior run: 6.555/215.79, Was #27
Right Lane: Pat Moore Runs 12.722/64.82, Now #21

did not have the quickness he needed to beat the bump time of 6.409 seconds and
make the field.

No Prior Run
Right Lane: Thomas Patterson Runs 6.572/218.48, Now #11
Best prior run: 6.373/222.55, Was #11
Torkelson had not made a complete pass this weekend so he needed a good run.
He didn't get the run he needed as he got loose at 330 feet and used up a lot of
the track. Patterson shook the tires a bit but stayed with it to finish the
run.
Left Lane: Ed Burnley Jr Runs 16.928/43.37, Now #26
Best prior run: 6.517/218.55, Was #26

6.409 seconds. He didn't help himself on this run as he was headed toward the wall
and had to back off to get the car straightened out. Hemling spun the tires but
stayed with the run.
Left Lane: Brian Daniels Runs 9.074/100.89, Now #31

Athey was not in the field when he staged the car and needed to beat the
6.409 second bump time to crack the top 16. He came off the starting line hard,
started to shake the tires and the car fishtailed before he shut it down. Martin
had a smooth run but did not beat his best time from yesterday.
Left Lane: Bobby Baucom Runs 17.797/43.80, Now #30
Best prior run: 6.587/216.79, Was #30

Best prior run: 6.507/216.69, Was #26
Qualifying resumed after a long delayed to clean up oil that Michael Faucher
dumped on the track during a burnout. Steve Vick, who was scheduled to run with
Faucher, decided to go to the end of the pack for his third qualifying attempt.
Baucom shook the tires and backed off. Brinsfield slipped and slided while he used
up a lot of the track. He stuck with it but was not able to make the field this

a smooth run and bumped Mike Lockwood from the field. Jenkins had a strong run and
was just one hundredth of a second slower than his best time from last night.

Right Lane: Mark Mchugh Runs 7.416/143.73, Now #40
No Prior Run
Cossis got loose at 330 feet and drifted quickly toward the center line,
almost crossing over. He backed off and got the car back under control but had to
back off. McHugh must have seen Cossis coming toward him because as Cossis was
coming near the center line, McHugh's car veered hard toward the right wall.
Left Lane: Patrick Doherty Runs 6.586/213.54, Now #30
Best prior run: 6.578/210.90, Was #30

Best prior run: 7.015/206.39, Was #37

Faucher made their burnouts, Faucher dumped oil on the track. After the cleanup,
Vick decided to go to the end of the field for his third-round attempt. This time,
Vick shook the tires at 60 feet and shut down.

burnout. Brinsfield started to make his burnout but hurt the engine and had to shut
it down.
Left Lane: Terry Hall Runs 10.990/94.27, Now #41
Best prior run: 7.728/162.37, Was #41
Right Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.197/228.54, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.307/225.41, Was #4
Hall seemed to have no power on this run and made a slow, uneventful run.
Stott really hooked it up with the quickest run of the weekend so far. He's in the
number one spot for now.
Left Lane: Carl Bullock Runs 6.337/220.91, Now #10
Best prior run: 6.461/217.60, Was #24
Right Lane: Chip King Runs 6.256/225.33, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.391/223.43, Was #16
King has been sitting on the bubble and wanted to improve his time and get
into a safer position. He had a smooth, strong run and moved up 13 spots in the
qualifying order. It's a good thing he did because Bullock put together a strong
run and bumped Al Billes from the field. Troy Critchley, who was just unable to get
his car started and missed his qualifying pass, is now on the bubble with a 6.378
second bump time.
Left Lane: Steve Salvadore Runs 7.710/129.62, Now #41
Best prior run: 8.589/106.29, Was #42
Right Lane: Paul Athey Runs 7.357/129.80, Now #22
Best prior run: 6.426/218.90, Was #22
Athey shook the tires, got loose and drifted out of the groove. He ran close
to the wall for a few hundred feet and finally touched the wall at 1,000 feet.
Salvadore had a bit of shake and never got enough power to make a good run. Neither
driver qualified for elimination rounds.
Left Lane: Tori Cagle Runs 28.221/38.30, Now #47
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Johnny Rocca No Time, Now #32
Best prior run: 6.606/221.23, Was #32
Rocca did his burnout and when he backed up to stage, the parachute dropped
out. Cagle staged and took the light. He went back on the wheelie bar and shook the
tires, then shut it down and coasted the rest of the way. Sometime during the run,
the rear axle on Cagle's car broke and when he got to the end of the track, the
axle assembly fell out and the car had to be taken off the track on a flatbed
truck.
Left Lane: Mike Stawicki Runs 6.674/202.00, Now #36
Best prior run: 6.888/169.76, Was #37
Right Lane: Brian Daniels Runs 6.397/217.46, Now #19
Best prior run: 6.593/215.24, Was #31
Both drivers had smooth runs but neither was quick enough to make the
field.
Left Lane: Thomas Patterson Runs 6.411/225.86, Now #15
Best prior run: 6.373/222.55, Was #15
Right Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.219/228.73, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.336/224.92, Was #9
Both drivers were already in the field and were looking to improve their
spots in the order. Janis got what he wanted, moving up seven spots to the number
two position in the order. Patterson had a smooth run but did not move up in the
order.
Right Lane: Bobby Baucom Runs 6.285/223.36, Now #7
Best prior run: 6.587/216.79, Was #31
When Baucom staged, he was in the 31st spot in the order. This time, he had a
really strong run that put him in the top half of the field and bumped Troy
Critchley from the field. Baucom's 60-foot time in this run was 1.007 seconds.

Results for Elimination Round 1
BUDDS CREEK, Md. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of round 1 eliminations in Mopar
Parts Pro Modified at the Hooters IHRA Drag Racing Series, 11th annual CARQUEST
Auto Parts Mid-Atlantic Nationals:
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Shannon Jenkins ('68 Camaro) 0.464 6.316 223.39
(L) Al Billes ('53 Studebaker) 0.493 9.801 90.66
1:02 PM - Air temperature was 78 degrees, humidity was 48 percent and the
barometric pressure was 30.33 and steady. Prior to this round, Jenkins and Billes
have met six times in eliminations this year. Billes beat Jenkins three times, with
one of those wins coming in the final round of the Spring Nationals at Rockingham.
Jenkins has beaten Billes three times, including a final round win in the Northern
Nationals at Martin, Michigan in July. Jenkins was 30 points ahead of Billes in the
season championship when these cars staged. Both drivers had good launches but
Billes got loose at 100 feet. he tried to stay with it for a while but started to
go sideways so he backed off.
(W) Rickie Smith (Lucas Oil '01 Viper) 0.490 6.360 221.49
(L) Bobby Baucom ('00 Avenger) 0.595 10.880 72.44
Baucom was not in the field when he staged for his final qualifying attempt
last night. When he needed a good run, he really got it and moved into the number
two spot. This is the first time Baucom has qualified for eliminations this year.
Smith's only appearance in eliminations came at the Spring Nationals when he beat
Mike Janis in the first round and lost to Shannon Jenkins in the next round. Baucom
shook the tires at 100 feet and had to back off. Smith got loose on his own but was
able to stay with it for the win. When Baucom's car shook the tires, it shook so
hard that the rear end broke and the car had to be towed out of the shut down
area.
(W) Thomas Patterson ('63 Corvette) 0.462 6.509 223.25
(L) Quain Stott (Lee Boy Paving '63 Corvette) 0.537 13.809 64.32
Racing resumed again after a lengthy delay to clean up rear-end oil from
Baucom's car. This was the first time that Patterson and Stott have not met in
eliminations this year. Patterson won the ACDelco Canadian Nationals in Cayuga in
August. Before this, he's won ion the first round four times and lost three times.
Stott's record in eliminations this year is four wins and nine losses. Patterson
literally had his door blown off on this run but he got the win anyway. Stott shook
the tires at 100 feet and had to back off the throttle. Patterson had the better
light and was running out in front when the right side door blew off the car. He
kept on going for the win. Patterson will not be disqualified for leaving debris on
the track but he still has to pass the scales, so if his car was close to the
minimum weight, the missing door could cause a problem. Patterson gave up lane
choice to Jenkins in the next round.
(W) Kent Ferrell ('63 Corvette) 0.501 6.422 221.23
(L) Mike Janis (Jan-Cen Engines '63 Corvette) 0.549 7.058 159.36
This one was an upset. It was Ferrell's first appearance in IHRA Pro Mod
eliminations this year and he got to face off against the number one qualifier.
Janis has won eight of the nine first rounds he's been in this season and has a
total eliminations round record of 23 wins and six losses. he's been to the final
round five teams this season and won three times. Ferrell was first off the
starting line and just kept on going. Janis tried to catch him but shook the tires
just a bit at 330 feet and could not run down Ferrell. Smith will have lane choice
over Ferrell in the next round.
(W) Mitch Stott (Radiac Abrasives '63 Corvette) 0.476 6.295 227.80
(L) Alan Pittman (Grave Digger '41Willys) 0.476 6.322 224.58
Stott and Pittman have met three times this year before this round, with
Stott winning all three times. Overall, Stott's record in eliminations rounds is 14
wins and eight losses, with his only final round win of the season coming at Epping
three weeks ago. Stott has won in the first rounds six times this season and lost
three times. Pittman has four wins and seven losses in eliminations rounds this
year. Stott and Pittman had identical reaction times at the tree. Stott was ahead
by 44-thousands of a second at at 60-feet and Pittman was closing in as they ran
down the track. By the end of the race, Pittman had made up half of Stott's lead
but just ran out of room. Margin of victory: 0.0270 seconds (approximately 9
feet).
(W) Chip King ('01 Avenger) 0.525 6.464 196.24
(L) Harold Martin (AC Delco '02 Grand Am) 0.434 27.505 24.66
King and Martin have not met this year prior to this round. Martin's record
in eliminations rounds this year is six wins and nine losses, including a final
round loss to Ed Hoover at Shreveport in May. His first round record this year is
four wins and five losses. King has made it into eliminations three times and lost
in the first round all three times. Martin had the better light but shook the tires
hard at 60 feet. He backed off the throttle and there was a loud pop from his car.
King had a smooth easy run for his first win in Pro Mod eliminations.
(W) Tommy Gray (Undertaker '53 Corvette) 0.512 6.373 223.47
(L) Tim McAmis (Sanders M'Sports '63 Corvette) 0.549 12.149 79.86
This was the fourth race that Gray has entered this season and the second
time he qualified for eliminations. He made it into the semi-finals in the Spring
Nationals at Rockingham before he lost to Shannon Jenkins. In the second round at
Rockingham, Gray beat McAmis in the only other time they've meet this season.
McAmis' record in eliminations rounds this year is two wins and two losses, with
two first round wins. He qualified for the ACDelco Nationals in April but did not
return in June for the rain-delayed eliminations rounds. McAmis shook the tires
really hard and backed off on this run. Gray had a smooth run and won lane choice
over King in the next round.
(W) Ed Hoover (Trussel Constr. '63 Corvette) 0.539 6.363 213.67
(L) Carl Bullock ('41Willys) 1.079 7.018 220.37
This was the first time that Bullock has made it to eliminations this year in
the IHRA Pro Mod division. Hoover's record in eliminations prior to this round was
18 wins and seven losses and his first round record before today was eight wins and
one loss. Something must have been wrong with Bullock's car because he sat on the
line for more than half a second after Hoover took off. Hoover gave up lane choice
to Mitch Stott in the second round.

Results for Final Round
BUDDS CREEK, Md. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of final, round 4 eliminations
in Mopar Parts Pro Modified at the Hooters IHRA Drag Racing Series, 11th annual
CARQUEST Auto Parts Mid-Atlantic Nationals:
W/L Driver RT ET Speed
(W) Mitch Stott (Radiac Abrasives '63 Corvette) 0.507 6.227 227.77
(L) Shannon Jenkins ('68 Camaro) 0.434 12.842 71.14
6:15 PM - The air temperature was 72 degrees at 49 percent humidity and the
barometric pressure as 30.31 and steady. This was the third final round match-up
in a row between Stott and Jenkins. Each driver won one of the previous two races:
Stott at Norwalk and Jenkins at Epping. At the end of the third round of
eliminations, Jenkins was 74 points ahead of Al Billes in the season points
standings. A win here would have given him 40 more points and extended his lead to
114 points. That would not be enough to clinch the championship today, so all he'd
have to do is make a qualifying attempt at Rockingham in three weeks and he'll
clinch the number one spot. When this was done, Jenkins did not get the win he
needed, so he'll have to do more than just make a qualifying pass at Rockingham.
Jenkins beat Stott at the tree by 73 thousandths of a second but he shook the tires
at 60 feet and had to back off the throttle right away. Stott had a strong run and
made up for the slower start by the 60 foot mark and then just kept driving
away.
