After the first day of qualifying at the NHRA Federal-
Mogul Drag Racing Series at U.S. 13 Dragway Charlie
Greco and James Zane lead the Competition Eliminator
and Super Stock categories, respectively.

   Greco, winner of the NHRA Mopar Parts Nationals
three weeks ago, is the provisional top qualifier
with an 8.38-second run in his Pontiac Firebird
entry.  Greco's Firebird, which runs in the C/Econo
Altered class, runs against an 8.92-second Index
and his 8.38-second lap put him 0.53-seconds under
that Index.  Larry Kopp, driving an Oldsmobile 
Cutlass, is second with an 8.46-second pass, 0.50-
seconds under his H/Altered class Index.

   All cars in the Competition Eliminator, SuperStock,
and Stock categories compete against a performance Index.

   In Super Stock Zane, driving an Opel GT entry, is
the early leader with an 8.96-second run.  Running
against a 10.00-second Index, Zane's run puts him
more than one-full-second under the Super Stock/AX
class Index.  Reigning NHRA national champion Peter
Biondo follows in second with a 10.15-second run in
his Pontiac Firebird.

   Another racer more than one second below his
respective class Index is Dennis Chapman, who is the
provisional leader in the Stock category with a 13.62-
second run in his Dodge Shelby, 1.42-seconds under
the AF/Stock Automatic class.

   The 250-mph Federal-Mogul Dragsters and Funny Cars
get their first attempts to qualify Saturday, at 3:00 p.m.
and 6:00 p.m.

Saturday Qualifying Final:

Clif Bozzelli and Fran Monaghan Jr. are the top qualifiers
for tomorrow's NHRA Federal-Mogul Drag Racing Series event
U.S. 13 Dragway.

   Bozzelli, the reigning NHRA Northeast division champion,
claimed the pole position in the Federal-Mogul Dragster 
category with a new track-record 5.75-second (the previous
record was 5.77 seconds) at 241.02-mph run to lead Ned
Ott's dragster, which followed in second place with a 5.95-
second, 205.01-mph pass.  

   Fran Monaghan Jr. savaged the U.S. 13 Dragway Federal-
Mogul Funny Car track record with a 5.93-second, 241.28-
mph run recorded in Saturday's final qualifying session.
The previous Funny Car track-record marks were 5.98 seconds 
and 234.92 mph.  Monaghan's 241.28-mph speed is the fastest
recorded at U.S. 13 Dragway, regardless of category. Bunny
Burkett initially paced the Funny Cars with a 6.31-second
lap but had slipped to third by the time qualifying was
completed.  Pre-race favorite Frank Manzo will begin Sunday's
eliminations from second place, having recorded a 6.19-second,
235.10-mph run.

   In Competition Eliminator Kevin Robb, driving Bob Kaiser's
small-block Chevrolet-engined D/Econo Dragster muscled early
pace-setter Charlie Greco's C/Econo Altered Pontiac Firebird
out of the top spot with a 7.572-second run, 0.598-under the
D/ED 8.17-second Index and a new NHRA national record.

   Final eliminations begin at 8:30 a.m., with the quarterfinals
in Federal-Mogul Dragster and Federal-Mogul Funny Car scheduled
for noon Sunday.

Advancing from the No. 1 qualifying position, Cliff
Bozzelli won the Federal-Mogul Dragster category at
the NHRA Federal-Mogul Drag Racing Series event at U.S.
13 Dragway Sunday.  Joining Bozzelli in the winners'
circle was Frank Manzo who claimed the Federal-Mogul Funny
Car crown.

   Bozzelli reset the U.S. 13 Dragway track record twice
in eliminations, running a 5.724-second lap in the semifinals
to defeat Bruce Horner, then two hours later lowering the
record again, this time to 5.705-seconds, to cover opponent
Ned Ott in the final round.  Bozzelli's finish-line speed
in the final, 243.44 mph, also was a new track record.

   Manzo didn't set any track records in reaching the Federal-
Mogul Funny Car winner's circle, but did record three consistent
laps of 5.99 seconds, 5.97 seconds and, in the final, 6.02
seconds to claim the victory.  Final-round opponent Fran
Monaghan Jr., who the previous day had set a new track-record
at 5.93 seconds in qualifying on the pole, drew a foul start
against Manzo.
