Welcome to the results page. After each race, we will have the results of each race, the "who made it and who didn't"! Who struggled and who was on top!
Q-2 came around and the temp was still 89 with density altitude of around 6600'. Penner tightened up with his 7.5557/174. Hill made the program with his 7.7243/172. Meshirer improved with a 7.7999/133. Wheelers 23T squeezed the index with a 7.8395/165. Greg moved up the SWSC ladder via a nice 7.6339/174.
During a brief lull (during which Jacob Penner of Penner's Automotive Machine served up most welcomed fresh fajitas) the SWSC pairings were revealed.
SWSC eliminations exploded out of the box as #1 Buck Woolen met #8 Gary Hill. After identical .064 rts, and a side-by-side under-index pass, Buck got the win with his less offensive 7.5675/177 vs Grays farther under 7.5543/176, a spectacular SWSC margin of just .0126 seconds! WOW!!! Next up was #4 Andy Mears vs #5 Greg Powell. Powell started earlier and ran right on the index (7.6069/173) as Mears ran a sub-index 7.5854/176 for the loss. #2 Don David met #7 Lyle Byrum. Don left first but struggled to a 7.846/139 to Lyles better (and winning) 7.7667/173. The final pair in E-1 was #3 Bill Norman and #6 Jacob Penner. Bill got the win with his superior 7.6159/167 to Penners 7.6536/176. Also in E-1, Don David collected the Jerry Norman Race Cars drivers bounty on Lyle Byrum with Dons better rt of .0672 to Lyles .0759. And Bill Norman took the Good Vibrations Quick Light Award with his .0184, the best rt of eliminations all night!
Round 2 of SWSC eliminations began when #1 Buck Woolen and #5 Greg Powell rotated their power plants. Bucks fired but Greg's aluminum monster was barking like a chained up dog and surrendered to the quick alternate from E-1 Andy Mears. Mears quickly did his burnout and lined up with Buck Sr. Bucks sub-index 7.5926 (.0074 under) had to move aside to Mears winning 7.6584/171! OW! That hurt! But Andy Mears had to say "Thanks, Dad." The other half of the round was #3 Bill Norman and #7 Lyle Byrum. Byrum advanced on his 7.6838/171 when Bills lane...... had a FOX in it! Quick, lift, 'chute, brakes, etc.! Never seen anyone lose 'cause of an animal on the track. We're gonna have to start posting armed guards past half track!!
The SWSC final round featured #7 qualifier Lyle Byrum and first round loser and #4 qualifier Andy Mears. Andy left first with a nice .0110 rt, but his 7.7690/166 was passed by Lyles 7.7427/159. Do the math.....m.o.v. of .001 seconds! Lyle Byrum and Bobby Brown and The ATI Med-Assure Team got their second SWSC win of 2010.
Thanks to the management and staff of Hobbs Motorsport Park for a great surface. Hope to come back next year.
