Anyone have the results yet? I'm sure a lot of us are itching to hear!
Just a few more weeks 'til the Nats! Once again, GNTTYPE is a Major Sponsor and will be footing the prize fund for the TSM winners at the event. Last year it was a 16 car field...maybe more this year!
Once the rain cleared up on Friday, TSM was given the green light to run the full quarter mile. Qualifying and eliminations were completed in the course of only 3 hours. In total, there were 12 TSM competitors half of whom were registered for the point series.
First place went to Dave Bamford who turned in a string of 10.0 passes - all weekend. Dave had the best looking/fastest TSM combination at the event, bar none. If I recall correctly, his best ET was a 10.04 and at one point he eclipsed 135 MPH. Scott Claridge from Strongville, Ohio redlighted against Dave in the final. Scott's car was running strong and turned in a few passes in the 10.6 zone at ~128 MPH.
Dave Stinson from Indiana took third place with an extremely clean and good looking GN. I recall he ran a 10.76 at some point. Brett Rudbeck qualified third with a 10.71 before smoking his transmission and (again) knocking the MAF pipe off his turbo. Jason White drove all the way up from Mississippi and collected a few rounds worth of points by placing fourth.
