The Race:
With 7 cars, R. Jeter led the class during our 2 run qualifiers with a 9.8x at 130+mph. We let the track pick who got the bye........7 CARD Draw! Lucky Mr. Robertson picked the lone Ace!

In the first round:
On a double tree cut down it went to Claytor who was closer on his dial running a 10.14 on a 10..09 vs Carlton running uncharacteristically off his by 2/10th slower. S Jeter took the win against car #104 with him breaking out by 1/2 a 10th. Not bad for a 1st time drag racer! R Jeter cut a .016 light on me to advance as I slept and spun to a 10th off my dial Robertson strolled down the track on his bye run. to a 10.4@137+ Carlton & I bought back to have some more racing fun in the 2nd round.

2nd round:
Card picks again! And its almost a repeat race of the 1st round......except S Jeter taking out Robertson on the hole shot with a .09 light vs a .53. Oyer took out R Jeter with a 12.42 on a 12.40 and a .06 light to a 9.91 on a 9.85 with an .03 light......it was dam close at the stripe and we had to look at the bulb to see who took it. Claytor ran a 10.16 on a 10.09 with both near a .07 tree....Carlton still off by a 1/10th slower on his dial cost him again!

3rd round Semi-finals:
Claytor raced S Jeter with another close race but a double break-out!......Claytor cut down the tree with a .0191 with a 10.088 on a 10.10 dial to a .066 with a 12.30 on a 12.32. Oyer get the comp bye with a better R/T in the last round by .0023!

4th round Finals:
Oyer squeaks out his 1st MACC win with a 12.3796 on a 12.37 dial with a .1013 vs Claytors 10.1159 on a 10.08 with a .0962 tree..... .0308 at the stripe!!!!!!
