Matt Hartford came all the way from Phoenix, AZ to compete at the U.S. Street Nationals with his Summit-backed Sport Compact.  He ran 6.824/202.33 in his 202 c.i. turbo Cavalier to qualify 18th in Outlaw Pro Street.  Tommy D'Aprile sent him packing in the first round.

Annette Summer ripped off a 6.508/225.45 which landed her in the Number Three position and gave her top speed of the meet.  Unfortunately, she was a no-show for the first round in her twin turbo '63 Corvette.

Brian Robbins and Tim O'Hare came out just after the semi-final round to make a couple of test passes.  O'Hare had struggled all weekend only running a 7.12/190.71 to qualify 22nd.  He lost in the first round to Randall Haynes' '02 'Vette.  A 6.723/207.37 was all Haynes needed to stop O'Hare's losing 7.08/155.95.  After the first round O'Hare came out and ran a fine 6.60.  He seemed to have found the gremlins.  Robbins had lasted until Round Three with Keith Engling's Hurst Olds.  Both cars left the line and O'Hare streaked to a 6.56.  Robbins' dry sump tank split about a hundred feet out and the big Olds turned left and slammed the left lane guardrail, then turned right and headed for the right side rail and slammed the right side into the rail with the chutes out, sliding to a halt at the thousand foot mark.  Robbins climbed out unhurt, but the beautiful Olds will need some major cosmetic surgery.  The ensuing cleanup and the fact that a fog bank was rolling in and soon would cover the track caused the track management to call the race in the interest of safety.
