THS was definitly exciting. I want to thank Sean Hayes, Jeff Rodick, JD Dilorenzo, John Snyder, David Leonhart, and Jim Bennett for participating in the class.
Round 1 of qualifying: Jeff Rodick and Sean Hayes both running 9.93's for the top spot. I think Sean had him by .002
Round 2 of qualifying: Sean took the #1 spot with a class record 9.85
Round 3 of qualifying: Jeff beat the record with a 9.849 to take the #1 spot forcing Sean to turn it up harder and taking the recoed back with a 9.801. JD also ran a personal best of 10.179. John Snyder was sneaking up on his first 9 second pass, but ended up with a 10.34 in qualifying
Final qualifying ladder was:
1. Sean Hayes 9.801@136.66
2. Jeff Rodick 9.849@136.00
3. JD Dilorenzo 10.179@133.96
4. John Snyder 10.340@135.18
5. Dave Leonhart 11.773@117.38
6. Jim Bennett 13.006@102.96
First Round:
Jeff Rodick ran another 9 second pass with a 9.878 beating Dave Leonhart's 11.725
Sean Hayes ran a 10.769 besting Jim Bennett's 13.066
John Snyder ALMOST ran a 9 when he turned the wick up and ran a 10.094 after JD broke his driveshaft
Second Round:
Sean Hayes had a Bye and ran a 14.813 saving the car for the Finals
In what turned out to be the closest race of the class, John Snyder got off the line first and ran his first 9 second pass with a 9.980 beating a Jeff Rodick's 9.914 on a holeshot win
Finals:
Sean got out on John and ran a 9.963 to John's coasting 13.325
It needs to be noted that Jeff and Sean ran all their pases in the 9's
Also John Snyder needs to be congratulated for running his first 9 second pass and is only the 3rd guy to do officially do it.
Thanks to all those who braved the elements and made the trip. Can't wait for next year.
