With Perrys late
model Chevy on the
sidelines,
Weatherford won a
final round duel
between the No. 1
and No. 2
qualifiers, getting
past Rini in 3.825
seconds. Weatherford
qualified No. 1 at
3.829 seconds and
was quickest in
every round at
3.826, 3.835, a
best-of-the-event
3.819 to turn back
Burnely and,
finally, 3.825.
Rain that began
early Saturday
morning, coupled
with the
aforementioned
timing system
issues, forced
Earwood to condense
the two-day program
that also included
bracket racing,
vendor displays,
swap meet and
car-and-truck show.
"Very
disappointing," said
the track owner.
"This is always one
of our most popular
events but the rain
started at 5 a.m.
Saturday and that
pretty much killed
the crowd. Then,
when we got to the
track, it was
apparent that on
Friday night some
disturbed individual
had made a mess of
the timing
equipment.
"Thank heaven for
Van Billingsley
(owner of Electronic
Services Company)
who was able to
patch together
something that would
get us through the
weekend. I have no
idea as to the who
or the why,"
Earwood said, "but
Im posting a $5,000
reward for
information leading
to the arrest and
successful
prosecution of
whomever was
responsible.
Other race winners

Holly Ridge, N.C.,

Off the track, the

of Troutmans Billy
Moose was named
"Best of Show" in
judging by the
members of the
Southeastern GM Toyz
Club.
