ENNIS, Texas - Results of round 3 eliminations in Pro Stock Truck at the 13th annual NHRA Revell Nationals:

 Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-Rd-Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed
   1 Larry Kopp          7.594 175.71  Q   4 Brad Jeter          7.618 176.19
   (D Nicholson ) 0.482  7.801 159.63 E1   (B Nickens   ) 0.473  7.624 176.67

 *****WINNER***** 0.452  7.683 174.45 E3                  0.444  7.734 163.78

5:53 PM and the pro qualifying sessions are all done, so I'll bet these guys won't have long to wait until they come back for the final round. Here, Kopp gets a big win against Jeter, crossing the stripe by just 0.043 seconds ahead... that's barely 10 feet.

 Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-Rd-Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed
   7 Jerry Haas          7.671 175.33  Q   3 Bob Panella Jr      7.615 176.22
   (J Lingenfelt) 0.473  7.695 174.00 E1   (R Hill      ) 0.478  7.633 176.40
   (R Daniels   ) 0.491  7.729 173.37 E2   (D Nickens   ) 0.430  7.657 175.23
 *****WINNER***** 0.532  7.731 172.61 E3                  0.453  7.984 139.92

Can't tell what happened on the top end here, but Panella was still ahead at the 1000' mark. But something went away and he slowed dramatically at the stripe, so it's Haas and Kopp in the final, later this evening.
