An interesting chain of events went down during the fifth and final qualifying session at the Orlando Real World Street Nationals in Orlando, Fla.

Jake Carlton had his nitrous-assisted ’69 Camaro staged up and ready to go while running against Spiro Pappas and his potent turbo Camaro. Pappas took his time rolling into stage, and infuriated Hank Hill in the process. Hill, a tuning consultant for a multitude of cars on the grounds this weekend, walked over in front of Pappas’ car and signaled for him to hurry up, among other things.

An interesting chain of events went down during the fifth and final qualifying session at the Orlando Real World Street Nationals in Orlando, Fla.

Jake Carlton had his nitrous-assisted ’69 Camaro staged up and ready to go while running against Spiro Pappas and his potent turbo Camaro. Pappas took his time rolling into stage, and infuriated Hank Hill in the process. Hill, a tuning consultant for a multitude of cars on the grounds this weekend, walked over in front of Pappas’ car and signaled for him to hurry up, among other things.

The drama didn’t stop there. Pappas was riding the centerline on a nice run and didn’t want to lift, but clipped one of the top end blocks. The foam block shot across into Carlton’s lane, throwing a 6.61 onto the board before Carlton had even crossed the line. That negated Carlton’s run, and rumor has it there is no love lost between these two camps headed into tomorrow’s eliminations.

Carlton was allowed a re-run following the final Drag Radial session, and used it to bump his way into the field in the 15th spot with a 7.02.
