Automatic title in his clean Mustang with a 13.52 on a 13.46 after
fellow Ford driver, Matt Delbaugh fouled in his13 second `86

Bill Mark's wheelstanding Olds 442 is always a threat to take the
Outlaw Street title.
Out Law Street
was the domain of Rusty Miller in his Modified Eliminator
Grey Hare Nova. The R&S Miller Trucking small block carded a
10.24 on a 10.21 to stop Bud Poust's 12.57 on a 12.50 in his potent S-10.

Ken was driving his daughter's 4 cylinder Mustang
convertible.
Bone Stock
Truck went to Lynn Umberger's Jeep over Merv Moyer's F-250
Ford.

Defending Street Automatic Champion, Mike Renninger, stepped into
Top Street by qualifying with a 11.00 flat pass. He bowed out the
second round to Larry Taylor's Dart when Taylor ran a right on
10.38 at 129.73 MPH.
Kevin Romeo made the trek from New Alexandria to try his hand in
Outlaw Street.
There is nothing cooler than a `32 Deuce coupe. Steve Mertz's is unique
because it's powered not by a Chevy or a Ford but by a 440 MOPAR.
Track photographer, Todd Dziadosz, was not in attendance
due to illness. We have posted a combination of stock photos and
