In the ProCharger Street Outlaw class, the number one qualifier was Georgia’s own, Mike Calvert. Calvert qualified with a 7.381 at 187.14. Next was Billy Glidden at 7.597 at 157.72. Randy Leavy was picking things up himself at a 7.600 at 181.67 and Terry Strange and the “white car” were still fixing the bugs at a 8.348 at 164.77.

On Sunday eliminations, it was Leavy making a single when Calvert didn’t show (broke engine apparently) and in a battle of the Hoosiers, Glidden won over Strange. In the finals it was Glidden over Leavy with a 7.651 at 172.08 to a tire spinning Leavy.

In the Edelbrock Street Bandit class, it has been a dog fight all season long. The Bandit “regulars” include Ken Compton, Matt Jones, Rod Houck, Cale Aranson, and on a frequent basis, Kurt Neighbor and Richard Lelsz. Gainesville was no different. And we got to throw in James Black and John Sommerfield into the mix. Ken Compton qualified first with an 8.820 at 154.18. Matt Jones came in next at an 8.922, also with a 154.18. Then it was Houck, Lelsz, Aranson, Black, Neighbor and Sommerfield, respectively.
When it came down to eliminations in the finals, it was Matt Jones over Kenny Compton with an 8.790 at 155.06 to a losing 8.755 at 154.71. Jones had a .48 better light.

The ProCharger Street Renegade class had a full field of racers, led off by Manny Geno. Geno qualified first with an 8.449 at 166.69. The next six cars were all in the 8’s and then there were four more in the 9’s. Jason Andron was second at 8.461. Next was DJ Loiacano at 8.549. In fourth place was Ronnie Wilson at 8.565 and in fifth place was Mike (remember me?) Freeman at 8.782.

In the finals on Sunday it was an all Florida showing with Jason Andron winning over Loiacano with an 8.457 at 163.16 to the losing 9.186.
