and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.183/228.85, Now #1

Right Lane: Paul Athey Runs 6.727/214.04, Now #6
Best prior run: 14.943/55.00, Was #11
12:58 PM It's 65 degrees, 86 percent relative humidity, barometer 30.12 and
steady, overcast.
Athey's car made a horrible burnout, the tires biting
instead of spinning. He's in the blower car this weekend, by the way, Quain Stott
switching to the nitrous car for this race. Janis just ran away from Athey here,
Janis on an extremely straight smooth run, Athey's car apparently down on
power.
Left Lane: Danny McVay No Time, Now #12
No Prior Run
Right Lane: Shannon Jenkins Runs 6.247/223.17, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.285/222.11, Was #3
McVay left before the tree, then headed for the wall, so he lifted. Very
nice run by Jenkins, one of the quickest ever by a nitrous car.
Left Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.283/223.25, Now #3
Best prior run: 11.098/79.91, Was #9
Right Lane: Harold Martin Runs 6.285/223.28, Now #5
Best prior run: 6.289/223.14, Was #4
Two very nice runs, Stott smoothly down the left lane in the nitrous car and
Martin improving over his career best elapsed time by 0.004 seconds.
Left Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 6.363/222.99, Now #6
Best prior run: 11.268/83.34, Was #10
Right Lane: Chuck Nuytten Runs 7.402/165.29, Now #10
No Prior Run
Nuytten's Corvette hiked the left front wheel way up, then headed for the
centerline, so he backed off to straighten it out. Nice pass by Hoover, clean and
straight.
Left Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 6.280/221.89, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.285/226.01, Was #4
Right Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 7.358/126.51, Now #10
Best prior run: 10.946/74.90, Was #11

event, straight and smooth.

Best prior run: 7.140/180.81, Was #9
Right Lane: Al Billes Runs 6.257/225.00, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.397/222.62, Was #7
Last pair and Billes makes a nice, hard run, right down the groove. Savell's
car was sluggish off the line and never did pick up the pace.

time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane: Paul Athey Runs 6.714/221.67, Now #8

Right Lane: Mike Castellana Runs 12.141/79.93, Now #12
Best prior run: 12.162/85.35, Was #12
8:06 PM Last chance to change dancing partners for tomorrow. Both these
drivers have had problems getting down the lane in their first two runs. Both
chattered the tires very hard on the launch, both cars heading to the left.
Castellana lifted. Athey pedaled and continued, barely missing the wall.
Left Lane: Al Billes Runs 6.332/223.21, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.257/225.00, Was #3
Right Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 11.843/85.69, Now #7
Best prior run: 6.363/222.99, Was #7
"Hoov" spun the tires hard and shut it down. Billes went right down the
groove, but was unable to get into the twenties this time out.
Left Lane: Harold Martin Runs 6.469/218.69, Now #6
Best prior run: 6.285/223.28, Was #6
Right Lane: Danny McVay Runs 8.271/125.90, Now #12
No Prior Run
McVay left before the tree last time, so needed only to make a legal pass to
get into the field as the thirteenth car. His car is listed as a Camaro, but looks
more like a Beretta. Clean pass by Martin, but way off his first and second round
pace.
Left Lane: Chuck Nuytten Runs 8.334/138.61, Now #11
Best prior run: 7.402/165.29, Was #11
Right Lane: Mitch Stott Runs 6.238/227.04, Now #2
Best prior run: 6.280/221.89, Was #4
Nuytten rolled the beams. Stott made a very nice run, smooth, straight, and
quick.
Left Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 6.427/215.34, Now #8
Best prior run: 7.358/126.51, Was #10
Right Lane: Quain Stott Runs 6.447/200.20, Now #5
Best prior run: 6.283/223.25, Was #5
Stott's car was slow off the mark and then picked up the pace a bit. Stott
was on a good pass, maybe a tenth better, but there was a big flash of flame from
the engine around the 1,000-foot marker and he slowed.
Left Lane: Shannon Jenkins Runs 6.275/222.00, Now #3
Best prior run: 6.247/223.17, Was #3
Right Lane: Mike Janis Runs 6.238/226.77, Now #1
Best prior run: 6.183/228.85, Was #1
The best nitrous car versus the best blower car, a great pairing to close the
round, and "The Iceman" gives Janis a run for his money, but Janis blower had too
much for Jenkins on the top end.
Left Lane: Tim Savell Runs 7.244/151.94, Now #10
Best prior run: 7.140/180.81, Was #10
Oops, one more car. Savell's engine was smoking on the top end and he had
the chutes out before the finish line.

(L) Tim Savell ('92 Lumina) 0.000(R) (Broke)
Savell was a no-show, but Stott tried to make a hard run anyway. Instead, he
lost traction and shook hard, then coasted through.
(W) Ed Hoover (Trussel Constr. '63 Corvette) 0.450 6.359 223.02
(L) Alan Pittman (Grave Digger '41Willys) 0.448 6.367 221.45
Good drag race, Hoover ahead at the start, trailing through the middle, then
coming on strong at the finish. Hoover's incremental margins: 60ft(0.027), 330
ft(-0.019), 660ft(-0.026), 1,000ft(-0.004). MOV: 0.0065 seconds (approximately 2

(L) Mike Castellana (Western Beef '41 Willys) 0.438 12.107 78.18
Castellana was away first, but went into instant, massive tires shake and had
to shut it down. Nice pass by Stott for the win and a bye into the
semifinals.
(W) Danny McVay ('97 Beretta) 1.200 11.665 108.27
(L) Shannon Jenkins ('68 Camaro) 0.000(R) (Broke)
Jenkins took too long to stage and after seven seconds the autostart system
turned on the red bulb. McVay cruised through with the win light on, then Jenkins
drove through.
(W) Al Billes ('53 Studebaker) 0.510 6.251 226.39
(L) Chuck Nuytten (CN Billet Blocks '63 Corvette0.602 7.062 157.21

round two.
(W) Harold Martin (AC Delco '02 Grand Am) 0.525 6.468 217.88
(L) Paul Athey (Mohegan Sun '63 Corvette) 0.503 12.599 68.01
Athey's car shook and turned right, crossing the centerline before the
330-foot marker. Athey cruised down the right lane for a bit, then crossed back
over into the left lane. Meanwhile, Martin made a clean pass, though off his
earlier pace. He will have lane choice against McVay next round.

(L) Danny McVay ('97 Beretta) 0.961 10.153 124.81
This was a "gimme," McVay not even attempting to make a race of it. Martin
takes the gift and advances to face Mitch Stott, coasting the last 300 feet, giving
lane choice to Stott.
(W) Ed Hoover (Trussel Constr. '63 Corvette) 0.488 6.289 223.14
(L) Mike Janis (Jan-Cen Engines '63 Corvette) 0.493 6.307 226.73

1,000ft(0.035). MOV: 0.0238 seconds (approximately 8 feet).

the groove with his best run of the weekend.
(W) Harold Martin (AC Delco '02 Grand Am) 0.494 6.589 214.45
(L) Mitch Stott (Radiac Abrasives '63 Corvette) 0.593 10.394 85.79
Tire shake claimed Stott while Martin made his way down the lane on an
off-pace run. There were words between the crews after the run, the substance of
the discussion not evident from our vantage point. Hoover has lane choice in the
finals, matching two nitrous cars for a change.

4:42 PM This was Martin's first final round in IHRA Pro Mod competition, but
he is still seeking his first win. The two left together, but then Martin got out
of the groove and fell back, even though Hoover's run was far from "in the groove"
too, moving to the left edge of the groove and then back toward the centerline.
Hoover had the lead by 330 feet and then extended it the rest of the way down the
track, Martin throwing in the towel before the 1,000-foot marker.
