After a long Winter of rebuilding and refreshing the hot rods, it was a great race at Texas Raceway! Here's how they qualified...

#1 Chris Dollar- 4.719 150.46
#2 Mat Thomas- 4.729 150.46
#3 David Moser- 4.733 145.53
#4 Eddie Roach- 4.735 151.27
#5 David Smith- 4.843 142.24
#6 Roman Rodriguez- 4.917 139.83
#7 Kent Birkes- 4.937 142.45
#8 Alan Powell- 5.035 136.83
#9 David Baldwin- 5.061 121.08
#10 Ronald Curley- 5.497 128.54
#11 Randy Neiheiser- 4.577 153.75

David Baldwin's night ended when he lost a header collector and had a fun ride when it wedged under the chassis during the 2nd qualifier! The Curley Brother's suffered mechanical issues and couldn't continue on either. Wes Johnston was in the pit helping Randy Neiheiser... maybe that's why they couldn't slow that car down enough in qualifying!

Round 1

Chris Dollar (RU) .159 4.684 147
Alan Powell (W) .381 4.721 148

Chris had his "Wild Turkey" flying Friday night... he beat Alan off the tree but didn't scrub enough at the stripe.

Eddie Roach (RU) .058 4.693 152.38
David Smith (W) .079 4.752 145.67

They both cut a good light, but it was David taking the win after Eddie broke out by .007.

Mat Thomas (W) .000 4.879 141.77
Kent Birkes (RU) .017 Broke

Mat cut a perfect light on his way to the next round! Kent had been suffering what appeared to be fuel system issues all night, no doubt he'll be back in the hunt at the next one.

David Moser (W) .064 4.672 147.09
Roman Rodriguez (RU) -.236 4.969 139.79

The Checkerboard team fought starter motor issues during the second round of qualifying and then unfortunately Roman left before the tree activated. David got away with one taking the win light with a break out pass.

After a time consuming oil down by a test and tune car Gary and his Staff at Kennedale gave us a very tight track for the Semi's! Here's how that round went...

Alan Powell (RU) .381 4.671 148.10
David Smith (W) .159 4.689 148.23

David left first and Alan caught him by mid track, but they both broke out giving David the win. The Smith crew had struggled early in the night but found their tune-up and were headed to the finals!

Mat Thomas (W) .090 4.667 151.51
David Moser (RU) .073 4.660 147.81

They appeared to leave together and it was a drag race to the stripe. Mat took the win putting his machine in the finals!

Final Eliminations

Mat Thomas (W) .067 4.704 150.66
David Smith (RU) .068 4.705 147.12

Mat Thomas took the Win in what has to be one of the tightest Final Eliminations rounds in Outlaw Top Sportsman history! Both cars left virtually dead even and stayed door to door the length of the track. Congratulations to both Father and Son teams on a great drag race!

Congratulations to Mat Thomas for Winning and earning $50 from Rainbow Vacuum Cleaners of Texas for his fastest MPH of the night and a $100 gift certificate from Neal Chance Racing Converters. And on a side note, Mat showed true Sportsmanship when he graciously offered our Runner-Up David Smith his $200 cash awards from ACE Racing Transmissions and Dave's Nitrous Outlet. Good job guys!

Chris Dollar earned Top Qualifier and $100 from Rainbow Vacuum Cleaners of Texas.

Alan Powell earned $25.00 and a $100.00 gift certificate from Neal Chance Racing Converters for Qualifying #8.

David Baldwin earned $100 from Ferry's Aluminum Cylinder Head and Block Repair for his #9 Qualifying effort.

Also thanks goes out to our Points Fund Sponsors, Brink Racecraft and RPM Performance Racing Electronics.

Special thanks goes out to Cindi and the Staff at Texas Raceway for giving us a terrific facility and for providing the Winner's Trophy.

I would also like to thank our Fans and all the Race Teams that attended our first race of the Season. Without you and your families there would be no OTS!
