Brinsfield ran the left lane all weekend. Musi cuts a great .008 light and gets out on Brinsfield who trails slightly with a .085 light. Musi drifts towards the centerline and drives the car back to the groove and past to the right as he tries straighten out his ride Brinsfield streaks to 6.277-229.82 for the win. Musi slows to a 7.292- 134.87 as he sees he can't catch him

Scott Cannon, Jr. staged against Pat Musi in round one and brought the r's up after he lit the second bulb, and Musi sat there. It was at least 12 seconds until he staged, but Cannon never flinched. He waited with his engine revving and trailed .061 to Pats' .043 light. Cannon got to about 300 ft and the Stude shook the tires and drove him towards the centerline which he crossed and took out 1/8th mile cones. Musi ran 6.36-221.29 for the win.

The Pro Mod class featured a couple of veteran teams and drivers. Dale Brinsfield, a veteran Pro Mod driver and currently an instructor for the Roy Hill driving school, squared off in the finals round against another old Pro Pat Musi. That final round was a classic with Musi and his nitrous oxide injected ’57 Shoebox squaring off against Roy Hill’s supercharged 04 Mustang. Brinsfield got to the final when potential Pro Mod rookie of the year Scotty Cannon Jr. crossed the notoriously slick Moroso track’s centerline with his supercharged Studebaker while racing against Musi in the first round. That put Musi into the finals against Brinsfield and he knew he was at a performance disadvantage to the supercharged Mustang. Musi had a near perfect .008 light while Brinsfield had a respectable .085. Never the less Brinsfield’s 6.277/229.82 ran Musi down and Musi clicked it early running a 7.292 at just 134mph.


Frank Altilio took home the Quick-16 title by defeating Bruce Liberman. Liberman left first with a .025 light to Altilios' late .178 RT. At the long end it was Altilio running 7.340-179.21 on his 7.33 dial to defeat Bruce who was unable to run his 7.50 dial and lost with a 7.66-172.14 effort.

The winner of Quick 16 2004 Series, with an overall points total of 246 points was defending Citrus Nationals Champion Bill Empke of West Palm Beach, FL. Empke has been racing at Moroso Motorsports Park since 1981 in every class running from Super Pro to Pro Mod. Although Empke won the overall points Championship, Frank Altilio, of Ocoee, took the class win with a winning pass of 7.340 at 179.21 mph. Altilio defeated local racer, Bruce Liberman after Liberman failed to hit his target dial-in by 0.166 against Frank Atilio’s .010 difference.
