The latest update as of August 7, 2022
FUNNY CAR CHAOS - Kearney Raceway
Eliminations were completed last night at Kearney Raceway, as the seventh event (sixth points earning) on the Funny Car Chaos 2022 schedule went into the books. Although the turnout of cars was down from last week's 33 at Eddyville, the two dozen floppers in attendance put on quite a show. The "A" field was the quickest since the season opener at the Texas Motorplex, with #8 qualiifer, Shayne Lawson holding down the spot with a very good 4.014 - 187.65 pass. Leading the way, as he has for most of the season was Kirk Williams with another strong performance at 3.881 - 189.87 pass.
Winner of the "A" field was a bit of a surprise, after Williams had dominated the class with four consecutive wins coming into this event. Taking the trophy was Jeff Cameron in the "Jake's Speed Shop" entry, as he took solid hold of the second rung on the championship ladder, and closed the gap on point leader Kirk Williams. Full results, including e.t.'s and speeds will come later as the FCC crew works to fill in all the details after back-to-back race weekends.
The "B" field victory went to David Hill in his first appearance since the season opener, but it wasn't an upset as he qualified at the top of the field with a good 4.074 - 169.49 and earned the win with some solid runs. Rounding out the winner's circle celebrations was Mike Buchanan, as the "Hombre" team took their second win of the season to move within striking distance of the Top Ten.
Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up as they take a well deserved break before their next event, at Asbury, MO's Mo-Kan Dragway on Labor Day weekend. It will be the second to last race of the FCC season and a can't miss race for all of the championship contenders. We'll be posting photos from Friday qualifying at Kearney later today, then follow with eliminations on Tuesday or Wednesday. Stay tuned for all that good stuff.
