Default Vegas E-1

Leo also won round one in Super Stock, as did Don Kennedy.

The next 2 rounds of elims won't be run til the end of today's show, after all the Pro qualifying--late this evening, my time.

In GA, Tommy Pettigrew made it to the quarter-final round.

But, that's as far as he could go.

Maybe the Pontiac guys will do better Sunday.

Well Leo made it thru round 3, in both Stock & SS. Hey, a double would be cool. He gets the 4th round bye, in Stock.

Brad Burton also won his 3rd round, in Stock.

So, these 2 guys get to race on Sunday. Good luck to both !

Default Sunday Elims--Vegas

They decided to run 2 rounds of Stock and SS elims, before the Pros run. Brad & Leo both survived both rounds, in Stock.

http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop

Leo also won round 4, in SS, but tripped the red light in round 5.

Leo gets the bye, in the semi-finals. So, if Brad can win his race, it'll be an all Pontiac final, in Stock ! How cool is that ?
