Results for Elimination Round 1ENNIS, Texas - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of round 1 eliminations in Pro Stock at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 17th annual O'Reilly Fall Nationals presented by Castrol Syntec: W/L Driver RT ET Speed (W) Gene Wilson (Mopar Parts Neon R/T) 0.449 6.840 202.06 (L) Tom Lee (J&J Racing Neon R/T) 0.409 8.999 105.69It's 61 degrees, 60 percent relative humidity, the barometer 30.40 and steady, the track temperature 78 degrees, under a light overcast. The density altitude is near sea level, about 3,000 feet better than yesterday, so the Pro Stockers should be flying today and upsets could be plentiful.
Two Dodges in the field and they meet in round one. If you believe the rumors, Wilson could replace Lee in the Allen Johnson Dodge next year, so this matchup was an interesting one and the first time they have raced each other in NHRA Pro Stock. They have met in several IHRA "Mountain Motor" finals, just about evenly split.
Lee nailed Wilson to the tree, but something broke and Wilson went by for a surprisingly easy win and his best elapsed time for the weekend.(W) Greg Anderson (Vegas General Constr Cavalier0.451 6.828 202.97 (L) Bruce Allen (Reher-Morrison Grand Am) 0.430 7.069 163.54Allen was 2-1 against Anderson in prior races this year and Allen had this one in the bag until half track, then his car just quit running. Anderson's margins (negative means he's behind): G And Margin 60ft(-0.038), 330 ft(-0.044), 660ft(-0.041), 1,000ft(0.015). MOV: 0.2208 seconds (approximately 53 feet).(W) Kurt Johnson (AC Delco Cavalier) 0.440 6.792 203.94 (L) Larry Nance (U.S. Marines Cavalier) 0.445 7.360 147.92For the third time in a row, the car in the right lane slowed markedly past half track. Strange things going on??? Look at KJ's speed, a career-best for Johnson and a track record.(W) Jim Yates (Splitfire/Peak Grand Am) 0.462 6.810 201.74 (L) Tom Hammonds (Winnebago/Itasca Cavalier) 0.454 21.259 34.76Yates beat Hammonds in their only prior meeting this year. Yates has been struggling to find speed this weekend, changing just about everything that can be changed, including the engine and drive train. He's consistently been among the quickest for the first half of the race track in every session, but the car has been "laying down" on the top end. This time the right lane car broke early in the run. Yates wins, but he's still looking for speed.(W) Brad Jeter (Caravelle Beach Club Cavalier) 0.452 7.631 133.29 (L) Tom Martino (Martino Racing Grand Am) 0.325(R) 6.844 201.52Not much to say here...jeter slowed, but the win light was already on in his lane. He loses lane choice to Kurt Johnson in round two.(W) Mike Edwards (Young Life Cavalier) 0.425 6.826 201.25 (L) Warren Johnson (GM Performance Parts Grand A0.483 6.795 203.43These two were 1-1 in prior races this year, WJ winning in Columbus and Edwards in Denver, enroute to Edwards' second win of the year. Edwards cut the tree down and WJ could not catch him, Edwards overcoming the right-lane jinx for a huge holeshot win. WJ was closing fast, but ran out of race track, Edwards winning by a car length. Edwards faces Yates next round, Yates with lane choice.(W) Jeg Coughlin (Jeg's Mail Order Cavalier) 0.421 6.817 202.06 (L) George Marnell (Marnell M'Sports Grand Am) 0.445 6.860 201.20Jeg defeated Marnell once before during this season, in the first round at Topeka. This one was all Coughlin, away first then holding a car length lead all the way down the track. He races Anderson next round and will have lane choice.(W) Steve Schmidt (Steve Schmidt Racing Grand Am0.871 6.826 202.02 (L) Ron Krisher (Eagle One Cavalier) 0.000(R) (Broke)Krisher's car had a leak when they fired it for the burnout and the crew pulled the nose off, fixed the leak, then put it back on. meanwhile, Schmidt had done his burnout and was back behind the line, waiting for Krisher. Starter Rick Stewart signaled Krisher to make a short burnout and stage immediately. Krisher made a normal burnout, across the line, and as soon as he backed up, the starter sent Schmidt without giving Krisher a chance to stage. Schmidt faces Wilson next round and will have lane choice.

Almost. It was a classic drag race, Jeg leading by a few thousandths at every incremental marker. Jeg's margins: 60ft(0.004), 330 ft(0.007), 660ft(0.006), 1,000ft(0.005).

Yates matched Jeg's elapsed time, but loses lane choice in the semifinals because Coughlin had a better speed.(W) Kurt Johnson (AC Delco Cavalier) 0.457 6.785 204.03 (L) Brad Jeter (Caravelle Beach Club Cavalier) 0.431 13.204 63.51Jeter launched and slowed almost immediately.

In other words, almost perfect conditions for Pro Stock except for the humidity.
This was a huge matchup for the 2002 championship, Jeg leading Yates by 68 points and having a virtual lock if he won here. Jeg staged first and Yates flinched, so Jeg is now 5-0 against Yates this year and well on his way to the POWERade championship.(W) Gene Wilson (Mopar Parts Neon R/T) 0.419 6.840 202.06 (L) Kurt Johnson (AC Delco Cavalier) 0.438 6.822 203.11On a holeshot, Wilson goes to his second final round of the year.
