Low e.t. went to Dan
Horan Jr. with a 6.180 and top speed was
Mr. Horan again at 238.03
A/FUEL, which is Goodguys answer to top alcohol,
had 17 cars out for a 16 car show.
Bill Wayne was on another
planet as he turned an incredible 6.362 @ 219.94
to trounce the always- tough Ron Attebury, who
ran a respectable 6.583 @ 212.91. Wayne's numbers
in the final were good for low e.t. and top
speed.
JR. FUEL A also featured a racer who was flirting
with the twilight zone of his class. Scott Parks,
son of Frank Parks of Neil & Parks fame, ran
an amazing 7.003 in eliminations to come within
a whisker of the elusive six-second time slip.
In the final the six-second zone would have
to wait until another day, as Scott ran a 7.019
@ 188.95 after Jon Rowley fouled away a 7.205
@ 184.95.
Low e.t. obviously went
to Parks' 7.003 with top speed also going to
the
"tin-bendin' kid" with a 189.91 mph blast
JR. FUEL B was the domain of cagey slingshot
veteran Don Enriquez who defeated another veteran
in the guise of John Rasmusson in the final,
a 7.269 to Rasmusson's 7.353.
Low e.t. went to Enriquez at 7.269 with top
speed going to rival Rasmusson 182.18 mph.

the A Gas winner
- AA GAS: Ed Moss over Jim Taylor 6.72 @ 205

And so it begins, another year of Goodguys/VRA
race action. After the March Meet, the other
races always seem to lack a certain magic. Maybe
with the return of Vegas and the return of night
racing to Pomona, the Goodguys will be able
to sustain the momentum and the car counts of
the March Meet. For the good of our little "hobby,"
let's hope so!
