LAS VEGAS - Results of round 1 eliminations in Top Alcohol Dragster at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Pacific Division, event at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
  613 Joey Severance                         68 Ron Anderson                 
E1   ****WINNER****  0.069  5.302 269.46                     0.109  5.555 270.05
 Qualified:             #1  5.298 270.86                        #8  5.574 263.87

Joey Severance runs close to qualifying numbers and is never headed going down the track for the win. Anderson gave up a lot at the green and his improved numbers aren't good enough for the win.

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
   64 Kim Parker                            590 Steve Griboski               
E1   ****WINNER****  0.104  5.318 268.92                     0.114  5.486 265.59
 Qualified:             #2  5.362 260.31                        #7  5.488 263.82

They leave just a dime apart, but Parker's power is no match for an improving Griboski.

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
  724 Casey Grisel                         7299 Nick Januik                  
E1   ****WINNER****  0.126  5.499 262.23                     0.072  5.734 261.02
 Qualified:             #3  5.376 262.08                        #6  5.434 263.72

Januik is away first by a bunch and has better numbers to the 330 foot lights, but the dragster starts to lose pace at that point and Grisel drives on by for an easy win.

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
  734 Johnny Ahten                         1766 Mike Burns                   
E1   ****WINNER****  0.027  5.359 267.43                     0.076  5.533 263.77
 Qualified:             #4  5.402 265.59                        #5  5.426 264.86

Ahten finds some more tune up for his better RT and takes a decisive win over a slowing Burns.
