Round 1

Eric Stubbs

Round one began with great match up between #1 Eric Clark’s blown ‘69 Mustang and local favorite Eric Stubbs’ turbocharged ‘02 Mustang. Stubbs fouled with a -.177 reaction time and handed the win light to Clark who shut off at half track and coasted through with a 5.63/86.47.

Chris Domino (near lane) and Clark Cooper.

The next pair up saw Domino run better than his qualifying number with a 4.39 at 170.07 mph that beat Cooper who red lit with a -.134 reaction time while running 5.50/96.73. Rencher was next up against Richard Willett. Willett got a sizeable lead at the start, carding a .047 light to Rencher’s .133, but the holeshot was not enough as Rencher streaked by with a 4.26/161.06 to a shut off 5.95/83.83 for Willett. The final pair in the first round saw Chris Smith thunder to a 4.08/178.64 (Low ET of the meet) to cover Kevin Wilson’s 4.84/ 142.54 effort.
