Joe DaSilva added a
little extra "spark" to the racing.
In the ProCharger Street Outlaw class, there
were two turbo cars, one nitrous car and one
supercharged car. Bill Glidden arrived at the
track late and made the final qualifying session
with a standout run of 7.039/194.66. Chip Havemann,
Travis Franklin and Terry Strange rounded out
the field. Two guys from Texas and two guys
from Indiana.
On Sunday, it was Havemann (photo) over Strange
and Glidden over Franklin. Glidden had to install
a new clutch after his 7.0 run and if Franklin's
transmission hadn't gone away, he might have
had a good shot at the win. In the finals, it
was Havemann

(7.563/183.10)
over Glidden's tire shake 7.942/157.59.
Jumping to the Edelbrock Street Bandit class,
the first three qualifiers, Rod Houck (8.685),
Matt Jones (8.696) and Ken Compton (8.725) all
qualified under the official FFW e.t. record
(8.726 held by Jones) and Jones (156.50) also
was over the mile per hour record (held by him
at 155.94) too. These records seem to rotate
between these guys at each event. Cale Aronson
and Richard Lelsz (new car) were also in the
field.
