Eliminations Round 1 and 2 Notes

Sullivan would -.002 redlight to Chris Rini in the first round of Pro Street. Williams would take out Baisdell in a close match of a 6.671 to a 6.748. Coughlin would take the bye into the second round where he would shake the tires to Rini, who went a blistering 6.168 @ 234.25 mph pass. Williams would take a bye into the finals where he will face Rini, though Rini has already claimed the 2010 Pro Street Championship

Bill Lutz would come take the bye green light in round one of Super Street. Jimmy Robbins would run a solid pass against Laurer with a 6.793 for the win. Frank Mewshaw would take ould George with a round-fastest 6.725 to a lifting 7.445. Mitchell wins over Brown with a 6.861 to a 8.241. Murillo snapped a quick .006 light and 6.748 for the win over Tony Nesbitt who was having problems at the light. Scavo would have a bit of a driving job on his hands to take the 7.015 win over Andre.

Lutz gave it all he got but it was obvious from when he left the line that his motor was still hurt and smoking down the hole track. Skating close to the wall, Lutz gave up the win to Jimmy Robbins with a 6.916 to a 7.236. Murillo would go -.001 red to Scavo who was having a hard time staging his car. Either the motor or transmission let go on Murillo's Mustang on the top end as a plume of smoke followed by an oil down call came after his pass. Mewshaw would take the win over Mitchell who went a 6.751. Rough calculations pits Frank Mewshaw as the Super Street champion if he wins the next round against Jimmy Robbins.

Dave Beeson would take the bye to the second round of Nostalgia Pro Street. Colletta would take out Andy Vogt with a 7.354 to 7.575 win. Chuck Demory would almost loose the race at the tree against Pete Richart on a 7.260 to 7.443 win. Jarrett wins over Baskin with a close 7.326 to a 7.480. Parent would edge out White with a 7.417 to a 7.477. Colletta has unofficially won the NPS championship with this round win.

Beeson would continue his hard charge with his second round NPS win over Colletta with a 7.321 to a 7.354. Jarrett would also stay consistent and run a 7.343 to take out Kevin Parent's 7.409. Demory would take a quarter final bye run.

Bill Trovato would take the bye in the first round eliminations in Xtreme Street. Curran would take a broke bye over Owen. Stanton would take a hard charge over George Rumore with a 7.924 to a 8.311. Guiler would be a no show to Cagle who took a cruise down the strip. Singleton would take out Warren with a 7.984 to a 8.173. Kuragan won over Smith with a 8.252 to a 8.626. Kroll would have a solo to no show Roemer.

Trovato continues his record setting performance with a 7.856 to Curran who pulled a huge wheel stand in his Corvette. Stanton wins over a spinning Cagle with a 7.920. Singleton took a bye run while Kroll tool out Kurgan in a 8.137 to 8.180 upset. Sources say that the next round between Trovato and Stanton will determine the championship in Xtreme Street.

Skip Baskin took out Max Gross with a 8.521 to a 8.712 during the first round of Pro Stock. Baskin's teammate Greg Delaney would take the win over a -.002 foul Don Bowles. The finals will be a familiar Baskin versus Delaney final.

Fratena takes a first round bye in Street Radial while Brad Schehr wins with a 8.800 to Carter's 8.990. Canella would edge out Shemwell with a 8.722 to a 8.747. The semi final match up will be Fratena and Schehr with Canella getting the bye.

Don Baskin pulled off the only 9 second pass of the round in Mean Street against Sherwin with a 9.927 to a 10.217. Jeremy Gilliam and Johnson would have a near two minute burn down that ended up with Gilliam taking the win with a 10.011 to a 10.643. Alan Von Ahnen won over a spinning Gary Duncan while Dave Hill won with a 10.291 over Richards.

Semi Final and Final Round Notes

Chris Rini sweetened the deal during the final round of Pro Street by grabbing both the number one for the weekend and the season. Rini fell subject to a broken wheelie bar and had a hell of a time keeping his car in the groove. In the end Rini won over Williams 6.522 to a 6.812

Mewshaw was able to take the Super Street championship by defeating Jimmy Robbins in the semi finals with a 6.818 to a 7.832. Nick Scavo went up against Mewshaw in the finals and Scvao would go up in smoke right off the batt, handing the win to Mewshaw.

Dave Beeson would have a nitrous backfire about 100 feet out and hand the win to Chuck Demory who went 7.265. Jarrett took the bye to the finals where he would loose against Chuck Demory on a 7.214 to a 7.379

The match of the weekend came down to Jamie Stanton and Bill Trovato's semi final run. Stanton would beat Trovato on the tree and that was all he needed to pull off the 7.932 to Trovato's 7.932 holeshot victory. Jamie Stanton continued on to his final round victory over Dan Kroll with a 7.910 to Kroll's 8.251

The Pro Stock final was a familiar one with teammates Skip Baskin and Greg Delaney taking on each other. In the end it would be Delaney picking up the victory with a 8.550 to Skip's -.002 red light. This is the first time that we can remember that Delaney took out Baskin in the finals.

Mike Fratena was the man to beat in Street Radial all weekend, running less than a tenth of all his eliminations passes. The finals would be no different where he took out JJ Canella with a 8.656 to Canella's lifting 9.004

The deciding factor in Mean Street for the championship was the semi final battle between Jeremy Gilliam and Don Baskin. Gilliam would take out Baskin with another holeshot win to the tune of a 9.982 to Baskin's 9.979. Alan Von Ahnen took on David Hill and won with a 10.041 to Hill's 11.638. Gilliam would go on to win against Von Ahnen with a 9.961 to a 10.017.
