FUNNY CAR CHAOS - Qualifying Session #3 (FINAL)


After a pair of hard fought qualifying sessions on Friday night, the 38 cars in attendance faced off to see who was going into eliminations, and who was going home. At the top of the heap were the "A" field runners, which ran from "top dog" Dave Hirata in the Motry Family blown fuel Mustang. His 3.454 e.t. was well ahead of the rest of the field, with #2 runner, Kirk Williams nearly a quarter of a second slower in his "200 Proof" entry. The bump spot for the "A" field was a seriously stout 3.894 - 172.39 held by Mary Reep in her "Grim Reeper".

The "B" field numbers ranged from #1 qualifier Chuck Loftin clocking in at 3.980 -173.96 and at the bottom of the group, Robbie Massey" with a very decent 4.147 - 139.83. Lower down were the "C" field with the eight qualifiers spread between Alex Barker's 4.186, down to Kris Battery's 4.442 e.t. And at the tail end were the "D" fielders, starting with Neil Girot at 4.454 and finishing with defending series champion Tom Furches at 5.124 - 143.78. On the outside, and desperate to get in to eliminations were series regulars Mike Buchanan, Dustin Bradford, and the blown fuel entry of Vic Tiffin.
