Klock cleans their clocks!!


The Grand Beaver title fell to Bob Klock in his 440 Challenger over Saturday's champion, Roy Kline. Bob cut a .036 light and ran a 12.348 on a 12.25 at 99.83 MPH to Roy's .043 light and an off pace 11.74 on a 11.57 at 112.90 MPH to take the Betty Goodman Memorial trophy. Overall it was one of the best days ever in the Klock stable with son Josh and daughter Melissa picking up wins in Baby JR and Baby TCR.
Everybody wants to get their photo taken with "Crazy Dick" Goodman.

 Frank Romeo had to show his boys how it was done by taking the Top ET title away from 2006 Champion, Jeff Duck with a right on 10.15 at 135.97 MPH to the Duck's 7.98 on a 7.94 at 163.19 MPH. Frank's day came to an end when he lost in the finals of
Top Beaver to Bob Klock with a -.006 red light.

It's the Doc by a mile over Division Champion, Billy Maturo. Doc ran a 8.61 on a 8.53
at 137.67 MPH to Billy's off pace 9.13 on a 8.90 at 155.14 MPH. Bill had a much better light, .021 to .052, but old age and treachery trumps youth and enthusiasm again.

It sure looks close to us!! Mike Boyer dropped a heart breaker to the Doc when he fouled with a -.041 light and ran a 9.64 on a 9.59 at 141.33 MPH to Doc's 8.53 on a 8.57.

Semi final action went to Billy Maturo over Ken Kauffman when Ken drew a foul. Billy ran a 8.90 on a 8.89 at 154.82 MPH to Ken's 8.90 on a 8.79 at 147.13 in taking the win.  


Blase' Raia was on his game all weekend long. He downed Snake Kurtz in the finals of Modified on Monday to capture his second Modified title of the weekend. Even with a bum knee, Bill can jump at least a little. On Sunday he captured the IHRA Iron Man for his win over Jason Howell.

Track photographer, Todd Dziadosz, caught a great shot of just how close it was in the semi's of Modified when Jason Weaver used too much brake peddle. JW had a better light with .019 to Blase's .045 but gave up the stripe by .004 with a 10.07 on a 10.05 to Raia's right on 8.98 on an 8.98. Those Beaver Boys are really tough drivers.

This is how close Doug Kline was to going into round four of Modified. 


Bob Klock in his Challenger copped his first Iron Tree of the season when he stopped points leader, Dave Weaver in the finals of Street with final round win over Dave's   Charger. Melissa and Tammy celebrate.

Tyler Thomas broke his Firebird but was able to borrow a winner when he stopped Hot Rod Trophy shoe, Derek Hartley in the finals with a 18.99 on a 18.93 at 74.86 MPH
to Hartley's 15.25 on a 15.22 at 89.50 MPH in his 6 cylinder Chevette.

 TCR was a battle of the sexes. In Monday's action, points leader, Zack Miller in his Nova downed cutie Carly Smith's Cougar with a 10.23 on a 10.20 at 66.39 MPH to Carly's run out 11.140 on a 11.15 at 63.23 MPH. 


Cody Gibson put his Repozest rail in the winners circle with a final round win over Dan Dunkleberger when he ran a 7.98 on a 7.92 at 77.53 MPH to Dan's 10.75 on a 10.63 at 58.31 MPH. Woody and his family are on a happy ride to retrive the winner.  
Lil Beaver semi's went to Mark Romeo's Nova. Jim Holland took the title in his GTO.


Josh Houpt picked up his first ever win in Baby Beaver when he downed Cody Binkley with a 11.29 on a 11.15 at 54.51 MPH after Cody went red.

Blase now has an eliminator title in JR, Street, Modified
and Top. Is a Bike in his future?

Mike Boyer onboard his `Busa cut a great .004 light and ran a 9.60 on a 9.54 at 137.71 MPH to stop Billy Maturo in the semi's. Mike then dropped a close one to King Ed Fetterolf in the title match running right on but a little late.

In the all Ford finals of Street it was Sue Vollman taking her first ever title over veteran, Dale Rhoads classic `66 Mustang. Sue ran a 12.01 on a 12.00 at 114.48 MPH to Dale's better .058 light forcing him to run out by .003 with a 12.167 on a 12.17.
