ROWE MINUS SCALPI

Danny Rowe debuted his new John Scalpi-built '36 Chevy. Scalpi also builds the five-inch bore center Sonny Leonard style wedge motors for Rowe. Rowe ran a best of 6.815/198.54, which is way off of his normal performance standards. One reason for that may have been that Scalpi, who usually tunes that car, wasn't at the event. Another factor may have been that Rowe had four different brands of Pro Mod tires mounted in his pits for testing.

IT'S A SNAP

A lot of racers were questioning why Mike Stawicki's Snapcase-backed '63 'Vette got an invitation to the "big dance" at Gainesville. The Buffalo-based racers answered that question quickly as they came off the trailer with a stout 6.252/224.32 and backed it up with a 6.251/224.83 to qualify seventh in the quickest eight-car Pro Mod field in history. In the first round they ran a respectable 6.323. Are there any more questions?

Just as a note, the band Snapcase's lead guitar player is Jon Salemi, who crews and works on the car between rounds. ss, this one a 6.90 at 202 to Mangrum's tire-shaking 8.27 at a coasting 117 mph.
