ENNIS, Texas - Results of round 1 eliminations in Mickey Thompson Extreme 10.5 at the American Drag Racing League, ADRL World Finals VIII presented by CarSafe:

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
    7 Todd Moyer                           4200 Dennis Sugrue                
E1   ****WINNER****  0.077  4.025 211.66                     0.127  4.413 133.42

4:31 p.m. Moyer is still trying to back up his 207.40 mph qualifying run. He not only backed it up, he exceeded it by so much that the 207.40 can't back it up, but a higher speed can serve as a backup for a slower speed..

Todd Moyer's incremental times: 60ft-1.105 sec., 330ft-2.799.
