SUNDAY - Ashley breaks the Vegas jinx; Torco-sponsored driver stops Jay Payne in the final round

(4-17-2005) – Mike Ashley loves to gamble when he comes to Las Vegas and more times than not the New York-based Pro Mod competitor experiences a degree of good fortune. However, when it came to racing at The Strip at Las Vegas, the clock always seemed to strike midnight in true Cinderella fashion during the semifinals.

There was no glass slipper to be found anywhere on the premises this time around, however, as the Torco Race Fuels-sponsored driver won his fourth career national event during the NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals. This marked a second final round appearance in three events for the defending series champion.

The victory in Vegas came on the heels of an outing in Houston that left Ashley frustrated with a quarterfinal finish. He was the defending event champion in Houston.

Ashley won a final round battle over Jay Payne that produced no easy winner.

“Jay is tough,” Ashley said. “The most rewarding thing about this win is that it came against the toughest drivers in the toughest conditions. There were no easy races today. We had to work for this one. My crew gets the credit for this victory.”

Ashley entered Sunday’s action as the second quickest qualifier while Payne was seeded fourth. To reach the second day of eliminations, Ashley stopped Payne’s wife Shelly in the first round. Payne eliminated Frankie Taylor on Saturday evening.

The quarterfinals opened with a huge shot fired by Zach Barklage as he took out low qualifier Glen Kerunsky. Kerunsky never stood a chance as Barklage drilled him at the tree with a .002 light. Barklage never relented en route to a 6.362, 225.41 win over Kerunsky’s off-pace 6.530, 227.04.

In one of the toughest battles of the weekend, points leader Jay Payne got the best of a tire-shaking Ed Hoover. Hoover did what he had to do on the starting line, but tire shake at the one-two shift was enough to force the Trussell Motorsports driver to abort the run. Payne never missed a beat as he rambled to a pass of 6.309, 230.65.

Defending series champion Ashley set the standard with a 6.248, 227.34 for the quickest elapsed time of the round in taking out John Scialpi. Ashley’s monumental pass was overkill, as Scialpi fouled at the line.

Troy Critchley executed his sharp starting line skills as he drew first blood against Kirk Kuhns with a .005 reaction time. That was more than enough to secure the win as he followed it up with a 6.290, 225.79. Kuhns lost with a 6.369, 224.58.

After nailing low qualifier Kerunsky in the opening session, the clock struck midnight for Barklage as Jay Payne was not about to take their match lightly. In true Barklage form, he nailed Payne on the tree, but in true Payne fashion – he drove around on the top end for the victory. Payne’s winning elapsed time was a 6.293, 232.27.

On the other side of the ladder, Ashley overcame an upset minded Critchley, who is reveling in a state of newfound consistency. Critchley had .05 out of the gate and when tire shake set in, that was enough for Ashley to drive by despite a tire-rattling 6.421, 223.17.

In the previous two national events, the driver who has defeated Critchley, a three-time semifinalist in 2005, has gone on to win the event. The tradition remained intact as Ashley out-reacted Payne and led him to the stripe with a 6.277, 227.84. Unfortunately for Payne, he experienced his worst run of eliminations with a 6.361, 228.58.

By virtue of his world record established earlier in the season, Payne still holds onto the lead in the point standings. Closely on his heels is Ashley. The two drivers have scored a win apiece, one runner-up and one quarterfinal finish.

SATURDAY - Kerunsky breaks No. 1 curse; five
of top six in points chase win openers

(4-16-2005) — The No. 1 qualifier at an AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Challenge presented by TLR event finally won a round, although it didn’t require much effort. After three consecutive events featuring the No. 16 driver claiming a first-round upset over the pole-winner, No. 1 qualifier Glen Kerunksy broke the curse at the NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals, winning in a walkover when Mike Moran was unable to stage after suffering a violent engine explosion earlier Saturday in the final qualifying session.

The round-win was Kerunsky’s first in AMS/TLR competition. He will be looking to continue his breakthrough weekend when he faces Zach Barklage — who also won without a car in the other lane when Thomas Patterson was unable to stage — in Sunday’s quarterfinals. Eliminations action in all upper-level classes begins at 11 a.m. at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Five of the top six drivers in the AMS/TLR Cup points standings won their opening-round races Saturday, setting up an interesting three-round dash for the winner’s circle Sunday. Points leader Jay Payne ran a 6.24 to easily beat Frankie Taylor, securing a spot opposite fifth-place Ed Hoover (who beat Chip King by 16-hundredths) in the quarterfinals); third-place Mike Ashley cruised past Shelly Payne, 6.23 to 6.36; and Troy Critchley (fourth place), and Kirk Kuhns (sixth) also won.

Joshua Hernandez, a winner a week ago in Houston, was the first round’s most notable upset victim. After qualifying No. 7, Hernandez ran a respectable 6.36 in the Tommy Lipar Racing ’57 Chevy, but was undone by a slow light that helped John Scialpi hold on to win by .08-second on a holeshot. Like Kerunsky, Scialpi’s round-win was his first-ever in Pro Mod Challenge competition.

SATURDAY NOTES – Pro Modified Never? Moran booms it and the darned predicting kid…

Boomer – Mike Moran’s introduction to Las Vegas went out with a bang. The Michigan-based turbocharged racer was on his best lap of the weekend when an undetermined explosion sent fiberglass flying through the shutdown area of The Strip.

An hour after the mishap, Moran was still searching for answers.

“It could have been a number of things,” Moran said. “Our initial thought is that it was a failed hose, but if that had happened it would have just shut it down. It acted more like a lean explosion.”

The one thing, Moran said yesterday, that concerned him the most was having to run the car leaner and doing it with methanol. Moran made the switch from racing gasoline to methanol this season and that has provided a new challenge to him.

The Curse Is Broken – In the first two events, the low qualifier has proven to be the victim at the hands of the 16th qualifier. This time the pole-sitter will gain a reprieve as Moran, the 16th qualifier, won’t make the call for the first round.

Low qualifier Glen Kerunsky breathed a long sigh of relief.

Aerodynamics 101 – Elapsed times may be what counts in drag racing, but if it was speed then the late model entries would rule. The most profound example points out that Shelly Payne’s losing 227.42 speed was still faster than the fastest winning nostalgia entry – a 227.23 by Kerunsky.

Incidentally, the fastest speed for a late model entry was Jay Payne’s 231.75.

Pro Mod proponent - Will drag-racing fans see Top Fuel racer Cory McClenathan in a Pro Modified car someday? "I want to drive it. I love 'em!" he said. "If I weren't driving a fuel car, that's where I'd be. I'd drive it in a heartbeat. To me, they're the most wild-looking and cool-looking cars out there. It's the only thing that reminds me of the Batmobile. They're unique, and I like that kind of stuff.

"Mike Ashley has some of the most outstanding cars. I watched Scotty Cannon for a lot of years and a was a big admirer. I'd like to see 20 of them out there qualifying, like in Pro Stock. So I'd love to see it become a pro class. I've heard, 'No way it will ever happen.' That's right from Graham's lips," McClenathan said, referring to Graham Light, NHRA's senior vice-president of racing operations.

The exhibition-status Pro Mods did win a concession from NHRA this year: the 16-car fields. However, they had to concede a qualifying round. So those drivers have just three opportunities to qualify. Pro Modified is one of four pro classes in International Hot Rod Association competition.

Funny Car's Ron Capps, who began his NHRA pro career in the Top Fuel class, sat in Troy Critchley's 1941 Willys at Houston.

Some things are just scary.

Early consistency - Ashley (Torco Racing Fuels ’67 Mustang), Critchley (AMS Staff Leasing ’41 Willys), and Kuhns (Red Line Oil ’01 Viper) are the only drivers to win at least one round in each of the three AMS/TLR events this season. And either Critchley or Kuhns is guaranteed to win at least one more, as they will meet in Sunday’s quarterfinals, with Critchley choosing the lanes.

Troy turns it around - Troy Coughlin and the Jeg’s Mail Order team were coming off a DNQ in Houston, and, after struggling mightily in their first two qualifying attempts Friday, frustration was apparent in Coughlin’s pit area. The team turned things around Saturday, though, making two solid runs in row with their ’67 Mustang (a 6.37 to qualify No. 11 and a 6.36 in the first round) and setting the stage for what should be improved performances as the season progresses. Coughlin was eliminated by Kuhns in the opening round, 6.26 to 6.36.

Ashley turns 30 - Ashley’s first-round win over Shelly Payne was his 30th in Pro Mod Challenge competition, the highest figure for any driver. Entering Sunday’s competition, Ashley’s career mark stands at 30-24 (.555 winning percentage), including two event wins in six final-round appearances.

Hero to first round runner-up – When Houston winner Josh Hernandez entered this event, he admitted to feeling as if he was a marked man in Vegas. He was right as Californian John Scialpi sent him to the showers on a holeshot.

Cause Little Kenny Said It Would – Kids say the darndest things and in the case of “Little” Kenny Nowling, the 5-year old son of AMS TLR program administrator Kenny Nowling, they predict the darndest things. If you’re a gambler you’d want to have this kid with you in the casino.

The second-generation Nowling correctly predicted the final round of Gainesville and Houston before the event began. A proud Dad brags that his son has a photo album featuring all the drivers on the tour and is well educated on each and every one.

“Little Kenny” successfully picked all the first round winners from Houston and had three out of four correct. Despite missing the final round of qualifying due to little league practice and offering concerns that his picks might end up on the same side of the ladder, his initial predictions came to fruition.

In case you were wondering, “Little Kenny’s Prediction” issued on Friday morning with announcer Bob Unkefer as witness – Mike Ashley over Canadian Glenn Kerunsky. Ironically the two qualified one and two respectively.

Sorry to be a Payne – Before they entered the season, the Payne’s, Jay and Shelly, knew that a championship would have to be won by going through Ashley. However, they must think it’s getting a bit ridiculous after they have met three times in as many races.

Jay opened the season with a win over Ashley in the Gainesville final. One race later, Ashley evened the score with a first round over his nemesis.

Ashley and Shelly met in the first round with the champion gaining the edge in the series. Jay and Ashley could potentially meet in the final round.

Déjà vu All Aver Again? – What are the chances of racing the same opponent twice, having the same part fail and you still win the race? If you’re California-based Pro Modified racer Kirk Kuhns and you’re paired opposite of Mike Ashley then you’re feeling fortunate that you’re in Las Vegas.

Last week, Kuhns raced Ashley in the quarterfinals at Houston and at the last minute his car fired. He then went out and defeated Ashley.

Ashley had to be scratching his head as he backed up from the burnout during the final qualifying session. It appeared to be a single run and just as Ashley crossed the starting line backing up Kuhns fired and did a behind without crossing the staging beams.

True to form, Kuhns took the win light and nailed down the top speed of the event with a 231.71 blast in 5,100-feet altitude.

According to Kuhns, the culprit has been a faulty starter motor in both incidents.

SATURDAY QUALIFYING - First career pole nets Kerunsky $2,000 bonus; Ashley grabs FLOWMASTER CLASH points lead

(4-16-2005) — For the second consecutive week, a Canadian driver scored a $2,000 bonus from FLOWMASTER for finishing as the top qualifier at an AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Challenge presented by TLR event. This time, it was Glen Kerunsky (Priddis, Alta.) who scored the bonus money — and finished with his first career Pro Mod Challenge pole — after his 6.223 best held off defending world champion Mike Ashley’s 6.229 in NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals qualifying at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Kerunsky also improved his position in the FLOWMASTER Pro Mod CLASH bonus event points standings, moving from 26th place to 11th with 20 total points. He sits three points behind fellow Canadian Al Billes (Barrie, Ont.), who finished No. 1 a week ago in Houston in his lone AMS/TLR series appearance of the season.

With his 15 points for finishing No. 2, Ashley moved around Ed Hoover and into the Pro Mod CLASH points lead. He has 45 points, one more than Jay Payne (No. 4 finisher in Las Vegas) and three more than Hoover (No. 5). The Pro Mod Challenge’s two major-sponsor-backed drivers are next in the provisional order, with Troy Critchley (AMS Staff Leasing ’41 Willys) fourth and Joshua Hernandez (Tommy Lipar Racing ’57 Chevy) fifth.

The final top eight points-earners will compete in the 3rd annual FLOWMASTER Pro Mod CLASH, which will be held during qualifying at the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals, Oct. 20-23. The No. 1 qualifier at each AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Challenge presented by TLR event will earn 16 points, the No. 2 qualifier will earn 15 points, and so on, down to one point for the No. 16 qualifier. Points will be earned through the O’Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals in Dallas, Sept. 22-25.

FRIDAY - Kerunsky flies into first with a 6.22

(4-18-2005) - After qualifying for his first career AMS Staff Leasing Pro Mod Challenge presented by TLR event last week in Houston, Glen Kerunsky doesn’t appear to be losing any momentum. Friday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — in the Pro Mod Challenge’s first-ever appearance at the NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals — Kerunksy drove his Red Line Oil ’57 Chevy to a 6.223 in the second session to edge series veteran Mike Ashley for the pole after two qualifying rounds.

Ashley powered his Torco Racing Fuels ’67 Mustang to a 6.229 to grab the second spot with one qualifying session remaining (Saturday at 1:30 p.m.). Troy Critchley and his AMS Staff Leasing-sponsored ’41 Willys wound up No. 3 with a 6.23, with Ed Hoover, Kirk Kuhns, and Houston winner Joshua Hernandez also getting under the 6.3-second barrier and occupying the fourth through sixth spots, respectively.

Last week, Kerunksy qualified No. 13 in Houston before going out in the first round against Chip King. He opened the 2005 season with a DNQ in Gainesville in his first Pro Mod Challenge appearance since running in the final two events of the 2001 season.

Following Saturday’s third and final qualifying session, the AMS/TLR series will return to the track at 4:30 p.m. for the first round of eliminations. The Pro Mod Challenge’s first-round-on-Saturday format made its debut in Las Vegas at last year’s season-ending ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals.

FRIDAY NOTES - Nitrous cars M.I.A.; The rivalry of the season and the AMS gang are having fun

World Champion Mike Ashley was motivated by what he calls subpar performance in Houston as he drove the the #2 spot.

(4-15-2005) - No Nitrous, None of the time – For the first time in the history of sanctioned Pro Modified competition, there are no nitrous cars in competition this weekend. The list for the first qualifying session featured 15 supercharged runners and one turbo machine.

It’s Behind Him – Defending World Champion Mike Ashley was aggravated when he left Houston. The Torco Race Fuels-sponsored driver just didn’t feel his efforts were where they needed to be.
“We've evaluated Houston and put it behind us,” said Ashley. “We are trying to find what our new car likes and I think we are getting closer. Right now we want to take it one round at a time and put a win in our column for the 2005 season. As a team we are committed to that win being this event in Las Vegas.” Ashley made his point clear in the first qualifying session by landing in the second position. Of course, the run reignited a fire that has been burning since the first race.

New Rivalry – It didn’t take Ashley long to realize who the leading contender for his title was going to be. In Gainesville, it quickly came down to a battle between Jay Payne and the champion, with Payne emerging victorious. The two met in qualifying a week ago in Houston and in a strange turn of events Payne got into the field on a run that disqualified Ashley on a staging timeout. Ashley eventually got in on the final session and by landing in the 15th spot was paired opposite of Payne. Ashley eliminated Payne in the first round of that event.
When Ashley landed in the second spot Friday, ironically it was Payne who was tops.

Troy Critchley admits that he and the AMS team are having more fun in 2005 and the end results prove it.

Having Fun – AMS-sponsored driver Troy Critchley admits that he’s having a good time this season. Critchley is in the midst of a championship battle that has taken shape early in the season. In two races, Critchley has back-to-back semi-final finishes. Consistency has been the order of the day for 2005. “We tested a lot in the off-season,” Critchley said. “We went to Florida and made a number of laps. As a result our game plan changed. Instead of trying to get more horsepower out of the car, we tried to make the car work better with what we had.”

Critchley and tuner Darren Mayer made wholesale changes to the car and in doing so, it responded to the power it was delivering. “It’s a good car, we just had to find what it wanted,” Critchley said. “We haven’t trashed any more parts than we did last year. The big difference is the output. We have a lot more of it this season.”

Think tuning a blown car at nearly 4,000-foot altitude is tough? Try doing it with a turbo car, Mike Moran says.

Tuner’s Nightmare – When the first session of AMS TLR Pro Modified qualifying began, the adjusted altitude measured 3,700 feet. That has some of the supercharged entries referring to their log books, but at least one driver is not afforded that luxury. Turbo runner Mike Moran has not run this high above sea level many times in his career, but he knows enough to run the car lean in this situation.

“My greatest obstacle is learning how to make it all work with alcohol,” Moran said. “We made that switch and we still have a huge learning curve in front of us.”

On Moran’s first qualifying attempt, he never made it past the water box. The culprit was a loose rocker and nobody knew it but the turbo master himself.

“I could tell it was missing,” Moran admitted. “This thing is so quiet that the only way I could tell is by the way it came out of the burnout. The oil pressure was just fine. I ask one of my guys to get closer and listen. He agreed and I just shut it off. If I had stayed with it, it could have been ugly.”

Josh Hernandez is trying to shed a few pounds on the team's '57 Chevy.

Trans Mission – Ed Hoover loves his transmission, but it’s the bolts that are giving him headaches. Twice this season, Hoover has broken bolts in the transmission and it cost him races. In the season-opener in Gainesville, Hoover qualified on the pole but broke the transmission in the first round. He seemed to have a handle on the situation in Houston, moving all the way through to the final round before another broken transmission knocked him out.

“It sure beat breaking in the first round, anyway,” Hoover said. “I think we have it whipped now, but you never know.”

Juicing Light – Josh Hernandez has one national event victory under his belt and he’s already feeling the pressure. The driver of Tommy Lipar’s 1957 Chevy feels as if he’s got a bullseye on his back. In fact, he’s so concerned with keeping competitive that getting his car lighter is proving to be a real challenge.

Hernandez pointed out that his ’57 Chevy is 100 pounds overweight. He and the team have reportedly taken inventory of the places they can reduce. This weekend, the experimentation is with smaller batteries.

Will it work? Hernandez points out that it’s too early to tell but thing is for sure, he and his team are forced to monitor the juice levels more than ever. “It’s a challenge, that’s for sure,” Hernandez said.
