It was a good night in Kennedale Texas, and we were there with the ProMods putting on a double good show for the Doorslammer fans .

Eliminations: Round 1

Moser .016 5.040 112.31
Williams .047 4.665 149.13

Dave had a little trouble, but the small block Vette lays down an unexpected fast number to give Dave the win.

Neiheiser .188 4.767 144.88
Green -.003 4.761 146,07

Greg goes for it on the tree and the big red eye shows up, giving Randy the win.

Baldwin .042 4.740 137.22
Thomas .048 4.762 148.27

It was close on the tree. Mat did not have enough to catch David in the fine looking Vette.

Dollar .072 4.745 142.15
Satterfield .115 4.951 136,87

Clint goes in for Clark Bros. Clint has had some problems with the truck, and still has not found the answer. I heard over the PA near the end of the night that he made a good pass, so maybe he is back on track. Dollar advances to the semis.

Eliminations: Round 2

Moser .120 4.718 145.67
Neiheiser .000

Dollar .067 4.711 150.56
Baldwin .030 4.677 140.39

David gets there a little too quick, and gives Chris the win.

Final round:

Dollar .041 4.707 150.61
Moser -.010 4.758 142.90

In a Wichita Falls final Dave turns on the red bulb, and Chris wins it all.

Congratulations to Chris, Sean, and Jacob Dollar for their win at TXR. It is good to see Chris back into his winning ways. Also congratulations to the #1 qualifier Dave Moser and crew for their runner up finish. That naturally aspirated Firebird in Pro Stock trim is a strong running machine.

Thank you to Cindi and the track crew at Texas Raceway for the most excellent track prep and maintenance through the night! You folks make it a safe place to race! Also thanks to Gilbert from ACE Racing Transmissions for being our great race director.

Again we need to thank our sponsors. Nitrous Express for their #1 Qualifier $100 gift certificate going to Dave Moser. A $100.00 gift certificate was donated by RPM Performance for the best burnout of the night. Also thanks to Brink Racecraft for their generous contribution to the points fund.
