PRO STOCK VS HOT STREET

In Pro Stock, teammates Greg Delaney and Skip Baskin met up in the finals with their clean Chevrolets. When the lights dropped, it was Baskin who was able to pass the Camaro in a close 8.57 to 8.59 match.

Robbie Blankenship’s 8.59 led the naturally-aspirated Hot Street contingent into the elimination sessions. Blankenship then defeated teammate Don Bowles Sr. on a holeshot to meet up with first-time finalist Rick Riccardi. In the finals, Blankenship let it all hang out to take the win with a 16-thousandths MOV. He matched up with Don Baskin in the Super Bowl and took the win.

STREET RADIAL VS REAL STREET

For Street Radial, eight cars showed up and Brad Schehr got the number one position with a 8.75, followed closely by Mike Fratena’s 8.79. Those two boosted cars also met in the finals, and Schehr got a slight holeshot and was able to squeak by Fratena for the event win.

After early-season struggles, Tim Matherly is finally getting a handle on his 2010 Mustang, as he took top honors during Real Street’s qualifying rounds with a strong 9.52 elapsed time. Eliminations found Matherly meeting up with longtime rival Bruce Hemminger, where Hemminger took the win as Matherly shut it down early. Hemminger also won over Brad Schehr in the Bowl.

MEAN STREET VS PURE STREET

Mean Street had six cars in attendance, with Don Baskin getting the number one spot with a 10.13. It came down to Jeremy Gillam and Baskin in the finals, but it was Baskin who prevailed running a 10.23 to take out Gillam’s red Mustang.

Jim St. Charles has been running well over the last few races in Eibach Springs Pure Street, and here in Illinois he qualified at the top of the field with a 10.27 at nearly 132 MPH. But once eliminations began, Brandon Alsept and Flyin’ Brian Meyer crushed the competition to face off for all the marbles in the final round, with Alsept coming out on top – 10.24 to 10.39. He was then taken out by Don Baskin in their Super Bowl matchup.
