Round 1 Notes
Super Street

• Some were surprised by the turnout of Super Street cars than anticipated in contrast to the awesome turnout of the Pro Street cars, especially with the growth of 10.5W racing. Most were predicting a full field at the next event as a few more NMCA cars got completed.



• Spiro Pappas established early on, with the absence of Jim Blair, that he may be the man to beat in Super Street, challenged strongly by Dan Millen. The first round supported that theory, as Spiro took care of Jeff Shawver with a best-of-round 7.04 at only 199.02 mph.

• Millen did his part on the other side going 7.12 at an impresive 208.67 mph with a .136 reaction time to defeated Matt Bell who only managed an 8.666. Both Spiro and Millen are single turbo machines.



• Crowd favorite and "long-haul" winner Mike Yedgarian and his ProCharger boosted Firebird suffered heartbreak when a red light in Round 1 ended his day taking on Shawn Zubler, who burned up a piston on the run and was still faster.



• During the opening ceremonies NMCA's Chris Vopat came out to entertain the crowd and to get the attention of just a few of his adoring fans.

Nostalgia Pro Street



• Jeff Colletta ran best e.t. of the round in NPS with a 7.59 at 182.81 mph victory over Phil Swales, but Jim Widener and Barbara Nesbitt also won their rounds with impressive runs. Barb cut a .012 light against Pat Adams and went a 7.68 at 182.70 mph.

It might seem "odd" that these Nostalgia Pro Street cars can run late model bodies like Colletta's sleek Camaro, but remember - NPS equals the old "Pro Street rules" of the category and not the actual body styles and years.
