Bob
Gilbertson encountered big time problems during his third qualifying attempt
Saturday in Gainesville. Gilbertson was on a strong pass when the motor exploded just past half
track, causing a considerable amount of damage to the Autolite XP Spark Plugs
flopper.

Greg Anderson may have wanted to be the first to run 210, but
technically he was the third. Let the record reflect that Mike Edwards
was the history maker.

ANDERSON AND SAMPEY SPEED TO NATIONAL RECORD PERFORMANCES TO CLAIM TOP
QUALIFYING SPOTS AT ACDELCO GATORNATIONALS

Dixon and Hight also claim No. 1 qualifying positions at POWERade Drag Racing
Series event

Greg Anderson and Angelle Sampey used world record
performances to qualify on top in their respective categories in front of a
standing-room only crowd Saturday at the ACDelco NHRA Gatornationals at historic
Gainesville Raceway.

Larry Dixon and Robert Hight also earned No. 1 qualifying positions at the
third of 23 events in the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series Countdown to the
Championship. Sunday's eliminations start at 11 a.m.

Anderson posted the first Pro Stock run in excess of 210 mph when he blasted
to 211.20 mph in his Summit Racing Pontiac GTO, while Sampey claimed the Pro
Stock Motorcycle national record with her 6.911-second elapsed time on her U.S.
Army Suzuki.

Anderson thrilled the fans with his track record 6.566 at a national record
speed of 211.20 mph, but the Summit Racing Pontiac GTO pilot wasn't exactly
pleased with his own performance, which netted him his 53rd career No. 1
qualifying award.

Please remember Scotty Cannon and his family in your prayers. Scotty's
mother, Ann Holtzclaw, passed away on Thursday evening after a lengthy
illness. The staff of Torco's CompetitionPlus.com extends their deepest
condolences.

chief for Aussie Troy Critchley said "I just want to run 240's" -- and that’s
exactly what he did.
