 You
couldn't go wrong betting on a Carlos to win
the Modified class. Carlos Gonzalez' '91 RX7
qualified first with an 8.055 at 166.91 mph,
while Carlos Perez' '83 RX7 grabbed No. 2 with
an 8.283/155.49. Carlos Gonzalez Jr.'s '73 RX3
qualified third with an 8.299/163.16, followed
by Jose Ortiz, Luis Ferrer Jr., Hector Cabrera,
Gary White, and Jose Toledo. Perez defeated
Gonzalez Jr. in the semi's, while Jr.'s father
planned revenge by beating Ferrer Jr.
Perez broke at the line to hand Gonzalez a
single pass in the final round. Gonzalez ran
8.472 seconds at 167.62 mph, and picked up his
trophy.
In Sport FWD, Jason Hunt's Civic took it all
the way, qualifying number 1 and defeating number
2 qualifier Brian Ballard's '91 CRX with a 10.034/149.20
over a 10.161/149.65.
Sport RWD, featuring both rear wheel and all
wheel driven vehicles, saw number two qualifier
Farley Mahabar's Supra run a 12.347/103.09 to
defeat No. 1 qualifier Juan Ruiz' '88 Porsche,
which clocked a 12.400/125.99 in the final round.
The records...shattered. The racers...ecstatic.
The fans...thoroughly entertained.
The sport compact drag
race at Moroso drew a variety of spectators,
including this alligator. This is probably one
track you really don't want to drive past the
shut-off area.
