PITTSBURGH - Results of round 1 eliminations in Amsoil Prostalgia at the 2013 Nitro Jam Series, IHRA Pittsburgh Nitro Jam:

    3 Greg Jacobsmeyer                      114 Peter Gallen                 
E1                   0.109  5.272 212.77     ****WINNER****  0.057  4.919 225.00

NOTE: Actual lanes not known. Winner listed first.
Jacobsmeyer made a decent run, but was well back at the stripe (1,000 feet) because Gallen made a very good run.

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
  389 Rick Krafft                           324 Mike McIntire                
E1                   0.137  5.490 189.23     ****WINNER****  0.128  5.192 210.28

This was Krafft's first race since a horrible crash at Grand Bend in his 'Chicago Fire" entry a couple years ago.

It was pretty even off the starting line, but MxIntire steadily pulled away after that. McIntire will face Gallen in the championship bracket, Gallen has lane choice.
