FUNNY CAR CHAOS Classic - Texas Motorplex

It's taken far too long for our report to hit cyberspace - and we're a very long way from finishing it - but at least we've started. Even though the FCC Classic is a "Funny Car" event, the sister series, NITRO CHAOS has two very strong fields of 80% and above nitro burners. Besides, there's only half as many photos to go through to produce the report. Now comes the hard part: filling in all the blanks, like e.t.'s, mph's, names of drivers and cars, etc. We'll start working on that tomorrow morning. Keep coming back during the week to see our progress.

NITRO CHAOS - "A" Field - Round ONE Eliminations

(LEFT) The first pair out of the staging lanes featured the #4 qualifier, Donnie Massey in his familiar "Showtime" AA/FA (far lane), matched up against Illinois' Brian Inouye in the "Frantic Fueler" AA/FD. Unfortuntely for Inouye, he was way too frantic on the lights, leaving -.232 early and wasting his best run of the weekend, a very strong 3.739 at an early shutoff 180.53. Taking full advantage of the gift win was Massey, who left hard and coasted from the 300' mark to the finish line, stopping the clocks with a 4.282 - 127.91 showing on the scoreboard.
