HEADS-UP NIGHT

** Points Results At Bottom Of Page**


Holbrook Racing Engines 10.5 Outlaw
 

       It was another great year to start off the Team Z Heads-Up Friday’s. The sun was shinning, barely any wind and the spectators kept filling the stands. For the first Holbrook Racing Engines 10.5 Outlaw class there were not enough cars to fill the 16 car field. However there were enough cars to fill the stands for an exciting show! The cars battled it out through the qualifying rounds. Some cars needed all three qualifying rounds and some only needed one to be set for the race. Disappointment came at the end of qualifying when Trace Meyers was making his first and only qualifying pass. Trace took off the starting line and half way down trouble came. His wheel and axel came out of the rear end. He was able to get the car stopped without hitting the car next to him or the wall. At the end of qualifying, Dan Millen and his Livernois Motorsports sponsored Ford Mustang took the LD Motorsports low qualifying spot with a 7.596 at 192.39 MPH. In first round of eliminations “Bucking” Brad Tyson lined up against Tim Johnston and staged the cars. With the tree activated, Brad came off first and stayed ahead of Tim all the way down going into next round of eliminations. At the end of first round of eliminations there were only 4 cars not in the race. At the fourth round of eliminations, it was down to the final between Dan Millen and Jeremy Glass. Both cars ran great through the night even with the temperatures beginning to drop. Dan lined up on the Varsity Ford left lane and Jeremy pulled up into the F.A.S.T. right lane. Both drivers pre-staged, but neither would stage. Nearly two minutes went by, before Glass bumped into the beams. The tree came down and Jeremy came off the starting line first with a .016 light, Dan following behind with a .039 reaction. Excitement came when Dan Millen pulled ahead and took the lead down by the 1/8^th mile. Dan crossed the finish line first with a 7.539 at 191.47 MPH and Jeremy Glass slowed it down and crossed through at 8.910 at 109.98! Millen was unstoppable, it did not matter what lane or track temperature, he went 7.90’s at 190 plus MPH!

Final Qualifying

WHEEL TO WHEEL ALL MOTOR CLASS

       During qualifying for the new Wheel to Wheel Powertrain All Motor Class Butch Kemp and mega wheelstanding Nova took the LD Motorsports Low E.T. Bonus with a 9.281 at only 125.70! The car kept going straight up in the air and drifting to the right. He finally decided to make a run in the left lane and had enough track to run a 8.98 at 148 mph! At this point he had the he had the field covered by .5 seconds. In the semi-finals, Butch was running Jim Wojda and his 1984 Mustang that has been running 9.4’s. Kemp red lights by -.002 seconds giving the Ford the win light. In the finals, we had Andrew Dart with his new Camaro who qualified second with a  9.44. It was sure to be a close race. The tree dropped  and the two cars had almost the same reaction times. At the eighth mile, the Mustang was ahead by .3 seconds and kept the lead getting the win light. Jim is our first winner and now the points leader.
