NORWALK, Ohio - Final order after 3 rounds of qualifying in Stock Eliminator at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Inaugural Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals:

Psn--Num--Class-Driver, Home Town, Machine-----------------ET---Index---(+/-)

1 1788 H/SA Bruce Noland, Leesburg VA, '73 Camaro 11.214 12.45 -1.236
2 3656 D/FIA Bruce Witherspoon, Lansing MI, '90 Corvette11.192 12.30 -1.108
3 1499 B/SA Jim Boudreau, Tewksburry MA, '69 Camaro 10.454 11.55 -1.096
4 2808 B/FIA Bobby Warren, Clinton NC, '98 Firebird 10.629 11.70 -1.071
5 1044 A/SA John Shaul, Fultonham NY, '64 Fury 10.264 11.30 -1.036
6 1656 A/SA Kenneth Miele, Egg Harbor Twp NJ, '67 Shel 10.282 11.30 -1.018
7 3200 K/SA Tim Lowe, Macy IN, '72 Skylark 11.951 12.95 -0.999
8 1056 C/S Todd Bednaz, Terryville CT, '68 Camaro 10.656 11.65 -0.994
9 1021 J/SA Gene Monahan, Brockton MA, '86 Firebird 11.757 12.75 -0.993
10 751 D/S Ben Wenzel Sr., Freeland MI, '67 Camaro 10.823 11.80 -0.977

Regardless of what the published rules for AHFS are,here is a situation that looks like it warrants horsepower.The number one qualifier was well over a tenth of a second faster than the number two qualifier,and over a quarter of a second faster than the number ten qualifier.I'm sure he worked real hard on his combination,but he could have still been number one qualifier by running 1.13 under and slowed it down a tenth.What we don't know is if the numbers 2-10 qualifiers were in bracket mode?On paper though,it looks like horsepower is warranted.
