Dominican Republic native and the 2011 Street Car Super Nationals Champion Jose "El General" Gonzalez had broken the doorslammer ET record twice and finished qualifying with his turbocharged car delivering a 5.730/259+ lap on Saturday.  (Darr Hawthorne photo)

Detroit's Don Walsh Jr., was fast, running a close 5.736 ET at a mind-boggling 261.27 mph. It looked as though Gonzalez and Walsh might meet in the Pro Street finals of the PSCA’s marquee event.  (Tim Marshall photo)

Sitting quietly, without fanfare in the background was the newly crowned 2012 NHRA Pro Mod champion Troy Coughlin and his JEGS.com turbocharged Corvette. He qualified third behind Gonzalez with a  best of 5.842/253.75 mph. (Tim Marshall photo)
