Thanks again for everyone coming out and supporting this deal. It was great to see some folks from out of state making the haul, it takes a lot to travel that far and race and I really appreciate it!
We had 9 cars on the grounds for the race, but unfortunately some broken parts got the best of a few. Things got started off in a big way in friday night testing when Matt Wuertz stood his small block F1R mustang on the bumper and went for a ride. Unfortunately this run also resulted in a broken connecting rod. Word is they'll be back soon with "old iron-sides".
After dealing with off and on brief showers during qualifying on Saturday, eliminations got underway. Without a doubt the biggest news from first round was when Scott Kositzky turned on the second kit in his nitrous assited SBF mustang and blasted to a 5.34 to advance to the second round vs. Eric Torrey in his twin turbo mustang. Chris Maggaro, who made the haul up from Lee's Summit, MO also won with a holeshot against Christian Huffman with 5.74 to a 5.71.
In the second round John Puckett took on Kositzky in a battle of nitrous assisted small block fords. Kositzky continued his winning ways posting another pass in the 5.30's. On the other side of the ladder, Mark Wusel who came down from South Dakota with his turbo charged small block Malibu, was paired up with Maggaro in what would be one of the closest races of the day. Both had ran a .74 in the previous round and both had turned up the wick a little bit for this round. Maggaro was able to just hold on long enough to beat Wusel with a 5.57 to a 5.59.
In the finals it was Kositzky and Maggaro. Kositzky didn't miss a beat and made his fastest pass of the day, a 5.32 at 132. Maggaro fell off a little to a 6.00 at 123.
Hope to see you at the next race next weekend, June 11th at Cedar Falls Raceway. Then it's back to Eddyville on the 25th.
