Congratulations to Robbie Doughty on his run to the semi finals at VMP driving Shawn Arledges ride. I understand he had a 4.900 which would have given him a semi final bye run to the finals. However some rule about being the #1 qualifier gave it to someone else.
I do not know the results on any other NED drivers but I am sure they made an awsome showing!!! Good job!!!.

Yep, John Sundstrom won and Jimmy Williams was runner up. Northeast had a great showing, fielding 7 of the 17 cars I think. And we had the last 3 cars standing.

Thanks for the kind words. It was a great race for sure. In terms of the bye run, we were on a ladder very similar to what the pro classes run in nhra. Since jimmy was the #1 qualifier, the bye was in that section on the ladder. He earned it for sure, running 4.90's all day long.
I would like to thank Jimmy Williams as he was kind enough to let us borrow a set of carbs. I really appreciate it Jimmy. As always I have to thank the Arledge family for letting me drive their car. Looking forward to the first NE index race of the year. Hopefully we can pull out a few more 4.900's
