Sunday Morning Update
After two days of nearly perfect mid 70-degree weather here in Bowling Green, we've been greeted with rather chilly conditions this Sunday morning as the NMRA closes out the 2010 season with one final day of racing. Several championships are to be decided as the action gets underway today, and one of those will be the Hot Street chase, as Don Bowles trails points leader Charlie Booze by less than two rounds. Jim Brown had a valve stem rip out on his left rear slick in yesterdays second qualifying session, causing the tire to go completely flat. With the inner liner changed out, Jim came out for the final session looking for a six-second run and the car just quit on him as he stuck it in second gear. Jim will square off with Jim Monson in the opening round of Outlaw 10.5 in what should be a great race given their similar performances this weekend.

Eliminations Round One Notes
Real Street
Dave Ginter put on an event greater show than he did last night, standing it up on the rear bumper and dragging it to nearly 150 feet before hooking hard right, up onto the left rear tire and slamming down at a hard angle, busting the right front suspension and knocking some of the front bodywork off the car. Meanwhile, Craig Baldwin made a less eventful 9.487 pass in the other lane to advance.Jim Breese advanced to the next round with a 10.862-second defeat of Mike Bell, who blew it up bigtime in the lights and trailed death smoke all the way to and around the turnoff. Bruce Hemminger went low for the round at 9.249 on his solo run, and Eric Tate defeated a broken Dan Baumann to advance to face Baldwin.
Factory Stock
John Leslie Jr. took the higher-qualified Jay Dold down on a holeshot in the first round, his 11.23 just edging out Dold's 11.21.Carlos Sobrino easily defeated Eric Shankles in the first round with a slowing 11.87 at 110 MPH to advance to the next round, where he will face Tommy Godfrey in a matchup that will essentially decide the 2010 championship. Matt Amrine went low for the round n his single at 11.105, Louis Sylvester advanced with an 11.223 over Charlie Rankin, and Rick Walsh bested Zane Reed with an 11.557.
Pro Outlaw 10.5
Conrad Scarry showed that yesterdays national record 6.68 effort was just a preview of things to come, as on his opening round single, his car hiked the front end near halftrack and charged to the quickest lap in the history of the category, a 6.576 at 215.96.Jim Monson and opponent Jim Brown both launched with the wheels and rattled the tires almost simultaneously. In what could've become a great peddlefest, Monson pulled over to the side Brown motor on through the top end. On the bottom half of the ladder, Mike Murillo took down Dwayne James and his shutoff effort with a 6.990 at a slowing 183 MPH.
Super Street Outlaw
Sam Vincent and his hard-charging nitrous car came blasting out of the gate, but began to drift out of the groove with the front wheels danging a couple feet in the air, forcing him to lift and hand the win to Chip Havemann, who made best run of the weekend at 7.44.Phil Hines launched into instant tire smoke, and he could only watch as Andrew Demarco charged to what read as a 7.14, but was clearly a timing malfunction. Andrew will face top qualifier John Macdonald in round two, who slowed to a 9.36 on his solo pass. John Urist received a first round break single and went 7.389 at 189, and will face Travis Franklin in round two with an 8.35 defeat of Vinny Barber.
Hot Street
Charlie Booze Jr. ran low ET of the round in his defeat of Keith Courtney at 8.448 and 153 MPH to Courtney's 8.77.Rick Riccardi pulled off a huge holeshot defeat of the higher-qualified Robbie Blankenship, nailing a great .008 light to take the win, 8.65 to 8.51. Riccardi will face Booze in round two. On the other side of the ladder, Max Gross took down Tim Eichhorn, 8.57 to 8.66, and Down Bowles kept his title hopes alive with an 8.53 to send Mike Curcio home.
Renegade
Chad Allmandinger pulled of a huge upset in the first round, as top qualifier Bob Cook launched into a wheelstand, forcing him to pedal and try to run down Allmandinger, coming up just short by an 8.50 to 8.53 count. In round two, he will face Bart Tobner, who downed Jason Wagoner with an 8.81. On the other side of the ladder, Brian Mitchell advanced with a 8.818 and will square off with new champ Chris VanGilder, who launched hard and then coasted through on his break single.
Drag Radial
Sean Lyon might as well put a dial-in on his car and enter the bracket class as well, pounding out another 7.830 at 179 on his first round single. In round two, he'll face Adam Jude, show slowed after opponent Marvin Bridge redlit.Jason Lee finally got it together when he needed it most, charging to a 7.953 at 177 to defeat number two qualifier Enzo Pecchini and his 8.03 in a great side-by-side matchup.
Pure Street
After a weekend of carnage-free racing all weekend, it got messy in the opening round of Pure Street, as points leader Steve Gifford blew an engine right near half track, getting fluid under the tires and sending him all over the lane and into the wall head-on before backing around and smacking the wall again in the rear. Opponent Don Baskin advanced with a slowing 14.42. Meanwhile, Brandon Alsept, who now has new championship life with the early exit of Gifford, singled to a wheels-up 10.39.

Eliminations Round Two Notes
Super Street Outlaw
With the championship race still to be decided, top qualifier John Macdonald squared off with newcomer Andrew Demarco and had his hands full, wrestling his ’01 Mustang back into the groove the entire length of the quarter mile for a 7.64 to 7.74 win. Unfortunately for this crew that has worked all weekend – plus driving 8 hours back to Michigan for parts – the powerplant in John’s car let loose in the lights, trailing smoke through all the way through the shutdown area. To add insult to injury, the parachutes failed to blossom, sending John off the end of the racetrack into the field.
John Urist, still in the title chase, advanced with another 7.389 to send Travis Franklin and his 8.29 home, while Chip Havemann staged and idled downtrack on his bye run. Chip will face Macdonald in the semifinals if the MotorCity Motorsports team can make repairs.
Real Street
In round two, Bruce Hemminger advanced with another great 9.24 at 143 MPH, and in the semifinals, will face Tim Matherly, who just staged and cruised downtrack on his competition single. On the other side of the ladder, Craig Baldwin moved on with a 9.49 at 140 in defeating Eric Tate, who got out of the groove.
Factory Stock
In a matchup that would decide the Factory Stock championship for 2010, Tommy Godfrey easily outran Carlos Sobrino, 11.06 to 11.23 to earn the title. Meanwhile, John Leslie downed Rick Walsh with an 11.350 and will meet Matt Amrine, who ran an 11.16 to defeat Louis Sylvester, in the semifinals.
Pro Outlaw 10.5
Mike Murillo used his single run into the final to his advantage, powering to a 6.96 at an early shutoff 179 MPH. In the final he will face Conrad Scarry, who disposed of Jim Brown with a national record backup run of 6.622 seconds.
Hot Street
Charlie Booze ran low ET of the weekend in the semifinals, defeating Rick Riccardi with a stout 8.429 at 156 to Rick's 8.773. Booze will face Don Bowles in the money round, who bested Max Gross by an 8.519 to 8.607 count.
Renegade
Chris VanGilder made a masterful save, launching with the wheels up and getting out of the groove, nearly up on two wheels before sashaying side to side without ever making contact with the wall. Meanwhile, Brian Mitchell in the opposite lane ran low ET of the weekend at 8.373 and 164 MPH to advance into the final. There, he will meet Bart Tobner, who downed Chad Allmandinger, 8.4325 to 8.590.
{ad:HHP}
Eliminations Pit Notes
The lack of a thrash in the Macdonald pit area pretty much tells the tale, as breakage incurred in the second round victory has ended their weekend. With less than a two round lead in the points, John Urist still has a chance at coming from behind to earn the championship with a win today.This is just the kind of maintenance you want to be performing between rounds. Conrad Scarry actually ran too quick for a backup of the 6.68 in the first round, and will be loaded for bear to see just what this racetrack has in round two.After Rick Riccardi's massive wheelstand aided by the stiff headwind in yesterdays final Hot Street qualifying session, Rick and crew had to change or repair both front tires, replace a front wheel, the steering, headers, K-member, and some of the front bodywork in order to make the first round this morning. Rick indicated he and his crew were 50-50 on making the call, but after a drive around the pit area this morning to check the suspension and steering, they made the decision to give it a shot.. And a good one it was, as Rick stole one at the tree from Robbie Blankenship to advance to the second round.
{ad:HHP}
Semi Final Eliminations Notes
Drag Radial
Jason Lee was on a great pass, but lifted early and slowed to a mid 8-second lap in a defeat of Adam Jude. In the final, he'll meet Sean Lyon, who has been on a rail all weekend, running another 7.82 on his solo run.
Real Street
Bruce Hemminger and Tim Matherly blast off into the sunset in a matchup that would decide the 2010 Real Street championship. At the stripe, Matherly made a huge run with a 9.24 to down Hemminger's off-pace 9.30 to claim the crown and the advance to the final.
Pure Street
In the final, Brandon Alsept, who downed Don Baskin in the semifinals, will face Shawn Johnson.
Factory Stock
John Leslie pulled out the quickest run of the weekend in his semifinal pairing with number one qualifier Matt Amrine, cracking off an 11.00 to Matt's 11.18. Tommy Godfrey took an easy solo pass for a trip into the final round.
{ad:HHP}
Final Round Eliminations
Conrad Scarry dominated Pro Outlaw 10.5 all weekend, and capped off a race in which he reset the national record and earned another championship by downing Mike Murillo in the final, 6.630 at 213.64 to an all-over-the-track 8.497.John Urist was never headed by Chip Havemann in the Super Street Outlaw finale, drifting around a little on the cold surface but laying down a 7.419 at 191.97 to steal the championship away from incoming points leader John Macdonald.In the Hot Street finale, Don Bowles knew he was at a performance disadvantage to Charlie Booze, and gave it everything he had, but got loose and was all over the left lane, relegating him to being a spectator to Charlie's all-time best run of 8.387 at 160.06 for the win.Brian Mitchell made the best run of the weekend in Renegade in the final round, defeating Bart Tobner with an 8.341 at 163.67 after an .074 to .114 holeshot. To put it best, Sean Lyon was a machine this weekend in Drag Radial, qualifying number one, resetting the national record, and making five straight passes between 7.820 and 7.830, including a 7.820 in the final to down Jason Lee, who gave it everything he had in the slick left lane, coming up just short with a 7.94.Newly crowned champ Tim Matherly overcame a huge .064 to 190 holeshot to run down Craig Baldwin, 9.430 to 9.647 for the win in Real Street. Brandon Alsept came into the final round as the favorite, but we don't run them on paper, as Alsept powered into another wheels up launch and missed a gear just beyond 60ft, while Shawn Johnson cruised to a 10.032 at 133.01 to close out the season with a win.Season champ Tommy Godfrey cemented his great year with a win in Factory Stock with an 11.137 at 119.33, while opponent John Leslie had something let go in the drivetrain on the top end in a shower of sparks.

Welcome to StangTV's coverage of day two here at the NMRA World Finals at Beech Bend Raceway Park. We saw plenty of near-record elapsed times in several categories yesterday in the great conditions that we've been met with this weekend, and with slightly cooler temperatures today, we expect more of the same bumper-dragging action. We're underway with bracket time trials this morning, with round two of qualifying set to get underway at 10:30 AM.Chip Havemann and crew are still busy making repairs to their transmission following troubles yesterday and hope to have everything buttoned back up later in the day to improve upon their qualifying effort.John McDonald and crew experienced more breakage than previously thought, as it was determined that the engine leaned out last night, pushing a head gasket out. John has made the 8-hour trek back to Michigan to retrieve parts so they can get the car turned around for eliminations tomorrow. The team hoped to back up the 7.28 last night and earn the extra points for a national record toward their championship hopes.Jim Monson was all smiles following his first foray into the six-second zone during yesterdays qualifying. Jim mentioned that he went a personal best 4.57 at the YellowBullet.com Nationals at Cecil County, but kept his newfound increase in performance under the radar as best he could until he came to Bowling Green.

Conrad Scarry blasted to a 6.683 at a booming 220.22 MPH to put a leg up on a national record that would certainly help his championship hopes this weekend.Jim Brown's left rear tire began going down just off the starting line, and by the time he made the turn at the top end, the car was dragging the pavement.

Final Round Qualifying Notes
Pro Outlaw 10.5
The weather conditions changed considerably from the first session this morning, with rainy overcast skies, strong winds and jacket-like col temperatures. The type of weather that makes horsepower. Conrad Scarry came to the line loaded for bear, ready to back up his earlier 6.68 for a new national record.

Super Street Outlaw
John Urist improved slightly upon his earlier 7.39 effort with a 7.387 at 188.91 that kept him in the third spot behind Johnny Mac and Sam Vincent.Sam Vincent will try to play spoiler in the championship race tomorrow between John McDonald and John Urist, as he goes into eliminations second with his 7.34 from earlier in the day.

Jim Breese stood it up a little higher than he may have liked on his opening shot, throwing a shower of sparks as he crashed back to earth and pulling over to the side of the track as a precautionary measure.
Drag Radial
Jason Lee earned a huge round of applause from the crowd here at Beech Bend, as his car continued to climb even after this shot, carrying the front end out just short of the 330-foot mark before heading for the guardrail, at which point Jason wisely lifted off the loud pedal.Sean Lyon began qualifying right where he finished off Test 'n Tune, going low for the round with a great 7.933 at 178.87.Enzo Pecchini is running like a bracket car thus far this weekend with an 8.00 and two 7.99's, including a 7.994 at 176.74 to hold down the second spot on the leaderboard.

Renegade
Here, you can see Chad Allmandinger and his '80 Capri standing it way up in the air before slamming back to the ground about 150-feet out. What you can't see is A.J. Wyce in the opposite lane performing a wheelstand of equal altitude, bringing the crowd to their feet.Brian Mitchell leads after the first round of Renegade with an 8.458 at 162.14. Bart Tobner is slated second with an 8.544 and soon-to-be points champ Chris VanGilder is third at 8.672.
Super Street Outlaw
Johnny Mac laid down a stout 7.286 at 193.07 that put more than a tenth on the rest of the field to open qualifying, but trailed a little smoke as he went through the lights.Sam Vincent was on a heck of a pass in his attempt to one-up McDonald, but his nitrous-assisted '88 Mustang nosed over at 1000ft and slowed to a 7.41 at just 161 MPH that still earned him the third spot in the order.John Urist sits in the second spot after one round with a nice and smooth 7.392 at 189.55.
Pro Outlaw 10.5
Conrad Scarry charged his way straight to the top of the qualifying order with a 6.773 at a slowing 188.46 MPH after taking a hairy ride in the lights that saw his car pointed every way but straight before the chutes righted the ship. Meanwhile, Jim Monson, in the near lane, made his first ever six-second pass with his small block combination with a 6.948 at 201.73 to hold down the third spot.Jim Brown made a clean 7.062 at 192.74 lap for the fourth spot heading into tomorrow's eliminations.Mike Murillo, who trails Scarry by less than one round in the points chase, made a great lap of his own to open qualifying with a 6.894 at 207.94 to earn the second spot.

Chip Havemann and crew were in the early stages of removing their transmission for the second time already this weekend. This team has a long night ahead of them in order to make tomorrows second round of qualifying.John McDonald and crew were performing just a little more than typical routine maintenance following their opening shot of 7.28 seconds. A crew member indicated a possible issue with heated plugs as they removed the intake manifold.The Allmandinger crew was busy using hammers and any tools at their disposal to straighten the headers and collectors after crashing back to the pavement following a massive first round wheelstand.
