David Hance had the misfortune of getting out of the groove at the start of his qualifying run, moving over to the centerline and then having the car hook hard right, hitting the guardrail. David was all right but the car wasn’t.

During eliminations, Mike Herring (shown) took out Jacobs and Samuel to get into the finals. Don Walsh handled Simons and Hopko in eliminations to meet Herring in the finals. It was Herring’s big block nitrous Mustang outrunning Walsh’s supercharged small block Mustang in the finals, 6.532/210.62 to Walsh’s losing 6.653/208.04.

In the ProCharger 10.5 Street Outlaw class, twelve racers made the cut in qualifying, with Billy Glidden on top with a 7.181/186.14. Tim Lynch (shown) was right behind (in a back-up Mustang) with a 8.364/189.83. Tim’s regular 6-second Mustang is going through some re-doing at the chassis shop and will be out soon.

During eliminations, Glidden ran 7.11, 7.20, and 7.19 to put him in the finals with Eric Pezzuti’s Mustang. It was close but in the end, Glidden’s 7.187/188.28 was just enough to compensate for Pezzuti’s .007 light. Pezzuti ran a 7.425 at 189.15. As the No. 1 qualifier and class winner, Glidden also collected the Aeromotive Outlaw Challenge bonus of $500.

During eliminations, Lance Styck had his Mustang in front at the finish line only to have a parachute failure cause his car to veer over into the grass at the extreme end of the track and turn over. Lance was OK but since he was not able to go across the scales, the car he beat was re-instated back into competition.
