BAYTOWN, Texas - Results of round 1 eliminations in All Motor at the Toyo Tires Import Nationals:

 Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-Rd-Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed
   1 Scott Kelley       11.301 119.59  Q    6 Joel Mandl         23.000   NS
 *****WINNER***** 0.570 11.255 118.40  E1                  0.625 22.046  40.44

Whoever wins this race will have a single into the final round. Kelley didn't leave much on the table - great reaction time, and low ET of the meet for all Motor. The Toyo Tires sponsored VW looks very strong today.

 Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-Rd-Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed
   2 Co Torres Gee      11.737 110.90  Q    5 Julie Phan         13.107 103.59
 *****WINNER***** 1.003 12.109 100.69  E1                  0.861 13.791  98.71

Despite a terrible reaction time Gee has the horsepower to drive around Phan.
