 (L)  Paul Jannoni           B/D   7.50  0.459(R)  7.032 -0.468

      3:11 PM and overcast skies, 75 degrees... And we start with
the obligatory redlight, as always (well, OK, almost always).

 (W)  Allyn Armstrong        K/A   9.79  0.505     9.339 -0.451
 (L)  Pat Ross               E/A   8.92  0.499(R)  8.464 -0.456

     And here's another... Ross knew that Armstrong had him
 covered, tho... and he was oh-so-close with the 0.499...

 (W)  Kevin Robb            D/ED   8.17  0.546     7.651 -0.519
 (L)  Carnie Fryfogle       AA/A   7.74  0.517     7.315 -0.425

     The Iaconio-motored DiPaolo Cutlass advances...

 (W)  David Strouse Jr.      B/A   7.97  0.520     7.442 -0.528
 (L)  Chip Ippolito          E/A   8.92  0.563     8.420 -0.500

     Strouse's machine is called "Forever in Debt"... I know that
feeling.

 (W)  Glenn Eck             D/EA   9.08  0.547     8.597 -0.483
 (L)  Mark Hopkins           C/A   8.29  0.635     7.914 -0.376

     Eck is in another of the many Bob Kaiser-owned Grumpy
 Jenkins-engined cars here this weekend...

 (W)  Tom Ekroth             C/A   8.29  0.654     7.709 -0.581
 (L)  Ronnie Bowler          E/A   8.92  0.523     8.478 -0.442

     Ekroth was way late and it will cost him in CIC next
 round... margin was just 0.008 secs.

 (W)  Larry Kopp             H/A   8.97  0.592     8.423 -0.547
 (L)  Allen Stanfield       F/SM   9.79  0.542     9.329 -0.461

     And Kopp earns some index adjustment next round, too...

 (W)  Charlie Greco         C/EA   8.92  0.584     8.531 -0.389
 (L)  Frank Aragona         C/ED   8.01  0.484(R)  7.529 -0.481

     Frankie hit the trans brake button just a fraction too
 soon...

 (W)  John Frech             F/D   8.86  0.599     8.611 -0.249
 (L)  Greg Kozera            D/E   8.17  0.433(R) 11.706  3.536

     Too quick, again...

 (W)  Jerry Hemmingson       B/A   7.97  0.544     7.459 -0.511
 (L)  Rob Slavinski         C/EA   8.92  0.581     8.431 -0.489

     Slavinski couldn't find the pre-stage beam, but finally rolled
in... didn't help his light any, apparently.

 (W)  Jonathan Aloisio      E/SM   9.06  0.579     8.727 -0.333
 (L)  Edmond Gammola         D/A   8.57  0.458(R)  8.100 -0.470

     More redlights...

 (W)  Dennis Meli            E/A   8.92  0.538     8.445 -0.475
 (L)  Bert Dawson            E/A   8.92  0.594     8.502 -0.418

     Meli slowed to 151mph... saving the index??

 (W)  Kent Ritter           A/EA   8.12  0.611     7.641 -0.479
 (L)  Al Ackerman            F/D   8.86  0.420(R)  8.414 -0.446

     More guys seeing red, here...

 (W)  Randy Daniels          H/A   8.97  0.576     8.457 -0.513
 (L)  George Supinski        D/A   8.58  0.476(R)  8.126 -0.454

     And even more...

 (W)  Ian Landies           A/SR   8.68  0.502     8.218 -0.462
 (L)  Dave Northrop          C/A   8.29  0.494(R)  7.854 -0.436

     Lotta folks anxious to get home, apparently... and that's the
last pair, so we're back in a few with the last pro qualifying
session of the weekend.  3:31 PM

   (R) = Red light foul







COMP ELIMINATOR

Sunday's 2nd Round

MOHNTON, PA - RIS - Results of round 2 eliminations in Competition Eliminator at the 13th annual Pioneer Electronics Keystone Nationals:



 W/L  Driver               Class  Index    RT        ET   Ov/Un

 (W)  Ian Landies           A/SR   8.68  0.592     8.093 -0.587
 (L)  Sal DiPaolo            D/A   8.58  0.506     8.141 -0.439

      1:12 PM ... Overcast skies previl once again... These two
left together, but they weren't supposed to.  That'll mean lotsa
CIC for Landies next round...

 (W)  Ray Smith             A/EA   8.12  0.507     7.682 -0.438
 (L)  Allyn Armstrong        K/A   9.79 (Broke)

     Armstrng stages but never moves when the light turns
green... I'm not sure the engine was even running.  The Safari
guys push him back and clean up some fluid from underneath
the car...

 (W)  Jerry Hemmingson       B/A   7.97  0.557     8.011  0.041
 (L)  David Strouse Jr.      B/A   7.97  0.436(R)  7.465 -0.505

     This one is heads-up, so the previous CIC's don't apply...
That redlight does.

 (W)  Kent Ritter           A/EA   8.12  0.525     7.617 -0.503
 (L)  John Frech             F/D   8.86  0.573     8.393 -0.467

      The Dodge takes a big win...

 (W)  Kevin Robb            D/ED   8.16  0.570     7.785 -0.375
 (L)  Larry Kopp             H/A   8.93  0.499(R)  8.598 -0.332

     Robb takes another big step toward the Championship...

 (W)  Jonathan Aloisio      E/SM   9.06  0.637     8.789 -0.271
 (L)  Tom Ekroth             C/A   8.21  0.420(R)  7.712 -0.498

     Ekroth's index fell from 8.29 to the 8.21 here... didn't matter
after all.

 (W)  Randy Daniels          H/A   8.96  0.574     8.368 -0.592
 (L)  Dennis Meli            E/A   8.92  0.536     8.369 -0.551

     Daniels got dangerously close to a permanent CIC here...

 (W)  Charlie Greco         C/EA   8.92  0.634     8.621 -0.299
 (L)  Glenn Eck             D/EA   9.08  0.476(R) 11.055  1.975

     The final pair, and Eck tosses it away...  1:28 PM

   (R) = Red light foul

MOHNTON, PA - RIS - Results of round 3 eliminations in Competition Eliminator at the 13th annual Pioneer Electronics Keystone Nationals:



 W/L  Driver               Class  Index    RT        ET   Ov/Un

 (W)  Kent Ritter           A/EA   8.12  0.477     7.608 -0.512
 (L)  Jerry Hemmingson       B/A   7.96 (Broke)

      2:46 PM ... Hemmingson gets his 0.01 CIC back for this
round, so this ought to be a pretty even matchup... And there's a
problem with the tree, Hemmingson not getting the green, but
he's still the winner as Ritter redlighted his chances away.  If that
weren't the case, we'd have a rerun on this one.  So
Hemmingson's crew pushes him back, but he'll be back next
round.

 (W)  Ian Landies           A/SR   8.60  0.514     8.075 -0.525
 (L)  Ray Smith             A/EA   8.12  0.589     7.550 -0.570

     CompuLink wiz Bob Brockmeyer has just strung a new wire
from the starting line out to the tree, and we're back in
business... 2:52 PM.  And Smith makes a valiant try, but Landies
holeshot was too much...

 (W)  Kevin Robb            D/ED   8.16  0.562     7.605 -0.555
 (L)  Jonathan Aloisio      E/SM   9.06  0.585     8.525 -0.535

     Couple of local big guns, here... and both use up some index,
but it was the Jenkins-motored dragster getting there first.

 (W)  Randy Daniels          H/A   8.87  0.484     8.413 -0.457
 (L)  Charlie Greco         C/EA   8.92  0.493(R)  8.358 -0.562

     Greco goes red first, and Daniels goes to the semifinals...
2:57 PM and we're done.

   (R) = Red light foul

     Both cars roll into the pre-stage beams, then wait, and wait,
and wait.  The starter motions 'em forward, and still... finally
Daniels rolls in first, Landies follows, and the rest is history...

Sunday's Fth Round

MOHNTON, PA - RIS - Results of final round eliminations in Competition Eliminator at the 13th annual Pioneer Electronics Keystone Nationals:



 W/L  Driver               Class  Index    RT        ET   Ov/Un

 (W)  Kevin Robb            D/ED   8.08  0.594     7.550 -0.530
 (L)  Randy Daniels          H/A   8.87  0.589     8.373 -0.497

      6:12 PM ... Robb's lost a lotta CIC, while Daniels hasn't lost
any, will that make a difference??... I'd say so, as Robb takes a
permanent hit to the index, but he takes the trophy, too.
Congrats to Robb, Kaiser, Jenkins and the whole crew!!
