ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. - Notes from final, round 3 qualifying in Pro Stock Bike at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 34th annual K&N Filters SuperNationals presented by Pep Boys listing lane, rider name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane: Bruce Dickson Runs 9.194/157.87, Now #30; Best prior run: 9.517/141.45, Was #30
Right Lane: Andrew Hines Runs 7.216/185.66, Now #17; Best prior run: 7.631/137.55, Was #27
3:30 PM - Current weather conditions: 60 degrees, 68 percent relative humidity, the barometer was 29.93 inches, with a track temperature of 88 degrees.
Dickson's bike came off the starting line very slowly and never got up to speed. Hines had his best run of the weekend but it was not enough to make the feel.
Left Lane: Wesley Wells Runs 7.398/174.55, Now #25; Best prior run: 7.352/181.18, Was #25
Right Lane: Keith Freeman Runs 7.654/175.68, Now #26; Best prior run: 7.449/178.68, Was #26
A pair of uneventful runs that did not put either driver into the field.
Left Lane: Gary Tonglet Runs 7.300/182.85, Now #23; Best prior run: 7.344/184.02, Was #22
Right Lane: Lloyd Straus Runs 7.287/184.14, Now #21; Best prior run: 7.344/183.17, Was #23
Another pair of runs that left both riders outside, looking in.
Left Lane: Joe DeSantis Runs 7.222/185.03, Now #19; Best prior run: 7.297/180.50, Was #22
Right Lane: Fred Camarena Runs 7.356/188.75, Now #20; Best prior run: 7.222/180.65, Was #19
DeSantis improved on his previous best ET of the weekend but it was not enough to make the field. Camarena will be going home as he was not quick enough to beat the bump time of 7.209 seconds.
Left Lane: Mike Berry Runs 7.135/186.28, Now #9; Best prior run: 7.235/188.10, Was #21
Right Lane: Sam Hurwitz Runs 7.348/181.06, Now #19; Best prior run: 7.220/186.43, Was #18
Berry came up with a good run when he needed it most and bumped Tommy Grimes, Jr. from the field. Grimes is up next so he may be able to get back in. Chris Reuter is on the bubble now with a bump time of 7.207 seconds.
Left Lane: Tommy Grimes Jr Runs 7.243/185.92, Now #17; Best prior run: 7.209/185.82, Was #17
Right Lane: Blaine Hale Runs 7.354/188.78, Now #15; Best prior run: 7.194/185.64, Was #15
Grimes got bumped from the field during the previous pair but was unable to do so and will be able to go home tonight. Hale stayed in the number 15 spot for now. Everyone else left to qualify is already in the field so Hale is safely in the show.
Left Lane: Chris Reuter Runs 7.213/184.83, Now #16; Best prior run: 7.207/190.73, Was #16
Right Lane: Michael Phillips Runs 7.221/183.69, Now #12; Best prior run: 7.173/184.27, Was #12
Reuter was the only rider in this field who did not have an ET in the teens. He tried to do it on this run but was not able to get it done so he'll stay in the 16th spot with his best ET of 7.207 seconds. Phillips had a good run but did not better his second round time.
Left Lane: Reggie Showers Runs 7.142/188.41, Now #10; Best prior run: 7.179/184.04, Was #14
Right Lane: Craig Treble Runs 7.253/185.26, Now #11; Best prior run: 7.144/186.38, Was #10
Showers moved up four spots in the order with a strong third-round time. Treble had a clean run but was not as quick as he was earlier this afternoon.
Left Lane: Steve Johnson Runs 7.232/183.89, Now #12; Best prior run: 7.172/186.41, Was #12
Right Lane: GT Tonglet Runs 7.173/189.95, Now #5; Best prior run: 7.113/187.55, Was #5
Neither rider improved his spot in the standings.
Left Lane: Sean Conner Runs 7.139/186.92, Now #8; Best prior run: 7.131/185.46, Was #8
Right Lane: Antron Brown Runs 7.175/186.92, Now #4; Best prior run: 7.101/183.27, Was #4
Two clean runs that did nothing to change either rider's spot in the qualifying order.
Left Lane: Karen Stoffer No Time, Now #7; Best prior run: 7.128/189.28, Was #7
Right Lane: Geno Scali Runs 7.673/136.11, Now #3; Best prior run: 7.077/191.00, Was #3
Scali's run was clean but not as quick as he was earlier today.
Left Lane: Angelle Savoie Runs 7.135/187.55, Now #6; Best prior run: 7.127/186.98, Was #6
Right Lane: Fred Collis Runs 7.147/186.72, Now #2; Best prior run: 7.059/187.89, Was #2
Both riders stayed where they were in the order as they did not beat their weekend bests in this round.
Left Lane: Shawn Gann Runs 7.104/189.28, Now #1; Best prior run: 7.051/0.00, Was #1
Gann was the number one qualifier before this round and was unable to beat his ET from the second qualifying session earlier today.
