Frank
Affronti and Dave Hughes back up from their burnouts. Affronti
will go ballistic red after having problems at the line.
Hughes follows with a pretty big red too, but at that point
he'd already won. |
Lots
and lots of Comp cars. I love it; Competition Eliminator
is my favorite class. |

Like
last year, Maple Grove's top ET bracket racers were invited
to race at the Auto Plus Nationals. |

I
know this wheelstanding Comet wagon all too well, having
raced among and against Gary Simpers, Jr. for many years.
Gary has the car down to a science.

Stock
Eliminator, Round 3: Jerry MacNeish in the D/S Camaro had
a good 10.853 on a 10.84 dial,
but his .044 sealed his fate
against the .012 of Tom Dauber.
You can see that Dauber has a dropped nose ahead of MacNeish. |

I
love this mid-track shot of Mike Letellier in the white
BB/SA Camaro charging on Dave Ficacci in the 1969 B/SA Camaro.
Ficacci was .008 against the
good .019 of Letellier. |

| Ken
Miele in the near-lane Mustang was probably kicking himself
after going .022 on the 'Tree
to George Cable's .058, then
going .06 under to Cable's
.03 under. We've all done it,
just part of racing. |
Craig
Marshall in the near lane dodges a bullet and gets lucky
here. He had the 'Tree big-time, .012
to Jim Boburka's .046, so he's
got .03 in the bank from the start. Boburka then runs .02
off the dial, which means Marshall now has .05 in the bank.
Marshall runs dead-on with a 6 on the brakes. That's cutting
it pretty close. |

Sal
Biondo in the near lane and Peter Biondo in the far. Sal
straps Peter with an .015 light
to Peter's .039, then goes
under by less to take the win. |
Mike
Epprecht is the beneficiary of a Competition Single here
when his opponent was a no-show. |

|
| Some
more cool mid-track shots: Here's Marty Rinehart, Jr. in
the '69 SS/DA Camaro on the run from Wendell Howes in the
SS/AH Barracuda. Wendell had a stellar .009
but can't run the number. |
