By Larry Sullivan

BATON ROUGE, La. - Results of round 1 eliminations in Nostalgia Fuel Altered at the 2012 Nitro Jam Series, IHRA Mardi Gras Nitro Jam presented by Domino's Pizza, Day Two:


 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
  760 Mike Hilsabeck                        601 Tom Padilla

8:41 p.m. Hilsabeck came away from his first Nitro Jam last night with the champion's share of the goodies.

Looks like he plans to make a habit of this winning thing - he had a nice starting line advantage and a much quicker run for an easy win. Padilla made a good run, with a strong finish, but Hilsabeck got the win light.

 7171 Ron Maroney                           784 Kyle Hough                   
E1   ****WINNER**** -0.012  6.521 212.11                     0.111 No Time

Maroney's win streak was broken last night and it looked like he'd have to wait until Pittsburgh to start a new one because he left early here. However, Hough's altered kept drifting left and he took out the 1,000-foot timing reflector. Based on the "first or worst" rule, crossing the centerline is worse than a red light and Maroney is reinstated as the winner.

Now we're on a brief hold for light rain.
