Kil-Kare Dragway

4/10/2004

         Well week two of the daylight racing action under clear skies and bright sun. The car count was up a little more this week as the cars start to come out for the new season. Because the car count was up so was the payout. We have one more week before the points start. And two weeks before night racing starts.

        In super pro we had a perfect run in round two when Leon Bryan of Jamestown, Ohio in his 65 Corvette ran a 5.880 on a 5.88 dial in with a .500 light. And Leon cut a perfect .500 light in round three but didn’t run dead on. In the quarterfinals Billy Back of Dayton, Ohio in his Dragster got the win when Todd Cordell of Urbana, Ohio red lighted in his Dragster. Jerry Dunkel of Kettering, Ohio in his 69 Chevelle red lighted giving Ken Coyle of Riverside, Ohio in his Dragster the win. Marsha McFall of Tipp City, Ohio in her 67 Camaro used a .501 light to get by Rich Evans of Xenia, Ohio in his 65 Mustang. And Leon Bryan got the bye run. Marsha moved in to the final with a win over Billy and Ken moved in with a win over Leon. In the final Ken got the better light and the win light. Ken had a .522 to a .541 over Marsha and ran a 5.371 at 127.46 on a 5.34 dial in. Marsha ran a 6.719 at 100.70 on a 6.69 dial in.
