Not in the quick four was Gary Read (Haight & Sullivan) 7.11, Mike Boyd (above) 7.44 at 194 mph (Boyd is a Nostalgia Fuel Alt, not unlimited), Randy Eakins brand new yellow Fiat from Bradbury, CA at 8.16, Jeff Diehl's "Witch Doctor" at 8.89, and Randy Bradford's 9.18. Diehl, the defending champion, just could not get the fearsome Fiat to go down the track during qualifying.

In round one, Fassl and Famous Amos must have found
something in the AZ based T roadster, as they laid down Low ET
and Top Speed of the entire event at 5.70, 247.18 mph to defeat
Ruiz at 6.06, 228.83 mph.

In the final blast off of the AA/FA's, Greg Daebelliehn (photo) cranked out a fine pass of 5.80, 222.72 mph to narrowly defeat Fassl's 5.82 at an even faster 253.16 mph. Fassl also had a face full of oil, making this a typical Fuel Altered side by side pass, as the AA/FA's just missed each other too!

Mitch King was in the consolation AA/FA race with Jeff Diehl, and it was a sideways affair, with King getting the win at 6.53 to a close 6.80. Never a dull moment with the Fuel Altereds!

PRO MOD

There was a full field Pro Modifieds made up of entries from the West Coast Pro Mod Association and any one else who had a Pro Mod.

Glen Kerunsky and his bright yellow Tim McAmis-built 1957 Chevy led the qualifiers with a 6.50 at 217 mph.

Also cranking out some fifties were John Scialpi 6.50, Dennis Radford's Viper 6.52, Wayne Torkelson Jr 6.55, Kip Dupruis' Buick at 6.57, and Kurt Kuhn's 6.59. Danny Rowe's '38 Chevy and Lee Smith's Oregon Vette both turned in 6.60's. Joe Dehaney, Pat Stoken and Thomas Lee also were on hand.
