Jamie Stanton is currently sitting number one in the points in Xtreme Street. Bill Trovato is at a close second. Nothing really new for Jamie this year than fine tuning the power management abd reading the track right. And like Jamie said "And just not F#@%in' up"

Jeff Colletta has gone through an extensive rejuvenation with their Nostalgia Pro Street Camaro. Dart has stepped up to help Jeff with a new set of cylinder heads as well as ring seal. The figured they picked up about 40 horsepower with Dart's help and about another 40 on the redesigning of their nitrous kit. Since the last race they have pulled apart the entire car and have gone through everything.

Kevin Reese is here testing his new Outlaw 10.5 Firebird. It features an F3R ProCharged 533 cubic inch Chevy. They typically run eighth mile at Ozark and have run a best time of a 4.94 so far. They have been playing with the four link setup and feel like they can drastically improve on their time.

Mikey Rees works on Troy Coughlin's Pro Street G6 GXP. Mikey does not have his Super Street Camaro here this weekend since he is upgrading from two to four nitrous systems. He feels they are behind the curve on power, though this will be what they need to get the job done. Coughlin sits in fourth in Pro Street points and had suffered engine failure during qualifying at the last race in Bowling Green.

Tony Nesbitt put down a good pass with a 6.895 @ 189.73 in his Super Street Corvette. His mom Barb Nesbitt, who was badly hurt from driveshaft failure at zMax, is here supporting the team with a cast on her arm.

In a funny coincidence, Jimmy Robbins went out for his testing pass about four pairs behind Tony Nesbitt. Robbin's also nitrous equipped Chevy combination went identical ETs to Nesbitt - a 6.895 with a slightly slower 185.36 mph pass.

Spiro Pappas and Jeg Coughlin came out for a test and tune pass in their G6 GXPs, in which both of their efforts ended in tire shake. Pappas is a regular here for testing and is no doubt trying to get his XTF entry dialed in for the ADRL finals.

Bill Lutz had a hairy ride on his qualifying pass as the car stepped out on him at mid track and then again at the top end after he got back into it. Lutz has really picked up the pace in his Super Street Camaro this year and sits at the number one spot in points.

Jim Brown has been creeping up on his combination, though spins his tires during testing. He has had a string of bad luck with his car, including a flat tire during qualifying at Bowling Green. At WSC1 here at St Louis, Jim fell under a wiring gremlin that somehow hung the throttle on the car and nearly burnt down about 200 feet out.

Kevin Parent fell under some rule stipulations in Nostalgia Pro Street on his combination, though he did not let it get the best of him. Parent went out for a good test hit with a 7.43 @ 182.11.

Jamie Stanton went out for a soft test and tune pass that netted him a 8.61 @ 118.66 mph

The lights are going down here in St Louis as we are getting ready to start the first round of qualifying!

Chris Rini had engine problems during his test and tune pass that resulted in an engine change. With the old mule in, Rini still managed to take the number one qualifying spot in Pro Street with a 6.435 @ 214.76 mph

Bill Lutz had a hell of a pass in Super Street where the front end was completely off the ground more than just a couple inches for nearly half the track. The pass was good enough to beat his previous ET record with a mind shattering 6.683 @ 216.72 mph pass.

Mike Murillo also put up an awesome pass with his NMRA Pro Outlaw 10.5 converted Mustang. Mike managed a 6.717 @ 217.84 mph pass for the second qualifying spot. The 11 car field of Super Street cars look to make a great show this weekend.

When Chuck Demory came out and ran a 7.189 @ 187.52 mph pass during Nostalgia Pro Street, people couldn't believe it. When Dave Beeson came out and bested that performance with a 7.168 @ 192.99 record pass.

In yet another record breaking performance of the round came in Xtreme Street where Bill Trovato managed a 7.895 @ 173.54 mph pass. Up close in second is Chris Singleton with a 8.040 and nipping at Chris' ankles is Jamie Stanton with a 8.058 pass.

Skip Baskin showed the Pro Stock field why he wears the number one on his car by narrowly beating out Charlie Booze's record in the class with a 8.475 @ 155.49 mph pass. Teammate Greg Delaney is in second with a close 8.480.

Mike Fratena eclipsed his national record pass with a 8.544 @ 165.27 mph in Street Radial. Sorry for the Milan photo, we did not have one from tonight!

Heath Shemwell pulled nearly the same wheel stand he did at the NMCA finals last year by coming up nearly onto the bumper and then slamming back down hard about 250 feet out. Heath sits at the end of the Street Radial list.

Tired of all the records? Well you shouldn't. Don Baskin and his fresh flames on the front of his Nova went 9.926 @ 131.77 mph for the first record 9 second pass in Mean Street. Alan Von Ahnen was close in second with a 9 second pass as well, clocking a 9.976

As we mentioned earlier, Chris Rini had a problem that forced him to change engines during the test and tune session. Apparently a valve guide had come loose in the head and caused servere enough damage to where it had to be sent out to get fixed. The backup engine is what allowed him to run his number one qualifying pass, but we know the new engine has a lot more in it.

There was a good reason why we didn't see Troy Coughlin in the first round of qualifying. That reason being a cylinder that had a bad leakdown. Bad enough to have to pull the engine and repair the bum cylinder. The Coughlin team will be back at it for the second round of qualifying tomorrow morning.

The best runs typically end in some broken parts and that was exactly the case for Bill Lutz. After finishing his record performance, they knew something was wrong with it once it hit the shut down area. That problem being a broken shaft mount rocker. Bill was unsure of the total damaged it caused, though he was sure it was going to be a late night to come.
