Domestic and import cars are running 8.50 Index this weekend. here Gonzalo Rivera warms up his 1976 Mazda GLC turbo.

Adam Flamholc has been fighting tire shake this weekend and his round one pass was along the same lines pedaling his way to a win over Mike Iania.

Isaoas Rojas (shown) and George Williams both made runs in the 6.0 range and will advance to round two.

Mike Therber put his gorgeous 69 AMX in the final with Lee Neal’s Mike thompson racing Engines ATF equipped  Xtreme S-10. Therner took a holeshot .025 to Neal’s .106. That a big gap to make up in a tight class like 10.0 Index sporting 52 cars in class this weekend. Neal’s 10.007 was a good effort but not enough to get under Therber’s 10.029 run. Fellow 10.0 racer Allan Kremkau builds the Hearbeat engines machined AMC powerplant. Mike dedicates this win to his brother Paul who passed  12 years ago.

John Wallauer has been racing his 73 Duster practically since it was new after trading his wife’s car in on it at the dealership. John built the car and several other here himself with his Duster sporting much of the original paint. 8.50 Index opponent Kenny Puffenburger hails from Bradenton, Florida with his 76 Camaro and put up a fine .002 light getting out by .005 on the Duster. At the stripe it would be Waulluer with an 8.565 earning the win over Puffenburger by the same .005 in a very close side by side final.

Josh Klugger and Mark Kyger were the final pair in Outlaw Drag Radial with Klugger having lane choice. That would not matter as Kyger broke a rocker after starting the car for the round.

Ken Quartuccio driving for car owner Rich Beaumont, who happened to also have two cars in the final round in two classes. This Camaro, and the other, driven by Jeff Ennslin, the Pro Street Outlaw winner. Just .005 separated the two at the hit and a nice side by side race. Quartuccio would take the stripe with a 7.27 at 191, his fastest pass of the day. Alm’s game 7.38 at 192 was also his best effort of eliminations. C&S Performance is the teams engine builder with a Skinny Kid Chassis and Larry Ennslin as crew chief.

The Pro Mod final was of epic proportions as ET and MPH track record holder Kevin Fiscus paired up with George Williams in a rematch of the 2013 final. Fiscus pulled off a 5.89 though his 252 MPH blast remains in place. His .038 was a nice head start and they went down side by side. The scoreboards lit up to the tune of 5.960 at 27 for Fiscus and just .034 later Williams’ 5.994 at 236 popped up making this the first five second Pro Mod side by side race at Orlando. Fiscus/Klugger Racing has back to back wins in Pro Mod and doubled up in Outlaw Drag Racinl carding Klugger’s first in their new Racecraft Inc. built Mustang with both cars featuring Pro Line Racing power.
