2024 NHRA VEGAS-2 - EVENT RESULTS
THURSDAY - INDEXES FLY OUT THE WINDOW WHEN THERE'S $100,000 ON THE LINE FOR VEGAS CASH CLASH
The competition in the first rounds of the RoofTec Las Vegas Comp Clash was heated, but at the end of the day, Mother Nature had a chilling effect at the Ford Performance NHRA Nationals. A tree malfunction in the second pair of the quarter-finals and a plummeting temperature left NHRA officials with no other choice but to postpone Thursday's competition at the Ford Performance NHRA Nationals until Friday.
Taylor Chomiski opened the second round by taking out David Triplett, and a tree malfunction in the race between Scott Linder and David Treadwell ended the day, as the remaining temperature in the track fell into unsafe conditions. The match between Linder and Treadwell will be rerun on Friday, along with the matches of Joe Mozeris vs. Clint Neff and Rodger Brogdon vs. Adam Hickey. The Chomiski and Triplett race will also be rerun.
Thursday's action featured two rounds of competition and the first round provided an epic display of blistered indexes, and while there were no personal penalties, there was the CIC in full effect.
The most significant infraction in the first round belonged to Chomiski, as he ran an 8.24, -.70 under the C/Super Modified index to take out No. 1 seed Don Thomas.
Others taking CIC hits in the opening round included Clint Neff -.654 (Chase Williams), Scott Linder -.633 (Jason Grima), Glen Treadwell -.615 (Kayla Mozeris), David Triplett -.571 (Melissa Murphy), Joe Mozeris -.532 (Rick Brown), Adam Hickey -.520 (Cali Neff).
The only clean index after the first round belonged to Brogdon, who was able to ease through the lights when Ashton Hudson fouled.
Race Officials pushed the completion of the three remaining rounds over to Friday.
Other sportsman low qualifiers included Clint Neff (Competition Eliminator), Craig Gualtiere (Super Stock), and Debbie Hewes (Stock). The Super divisions completed their first round, with Tanner Theobald (Super Comp) and Kristi Shipp (Super Gas) winning.
