Notes from Eliminations Round 1
Elimination Round 1 Pictures are here. 
Vinny Budano stepped it up for Eliminations Round 1 with the fastest run of the round with a 6.339 @ 222. The 2007 Pro Street Champion has his repeat on the line for 2008, but efforts like this show that he can turn things around.
The highlight of the round was Steve Matusek’s dance across the middle of the track. We will cover the details later, but the entire crowd clapped when he got the car straight. The sequence is in the above link
Butch Kemp is letting everyone know in Pro Stock that he isn’t going to be let down by the additional weight. Butch showed this by being the fastest in the round with a 8.655 @156.08
Pete Richart shows up this morning, techs his car and takes it to run eliminations. No practice runs, no qualifying. Pete some how managed to score a 7.50 his first pass down the track for the weekend. He will be a contender tomorrow if he can dial the combination in more.
