The fields in all four sportsman divisions competing this weekend at the 30th Annual
Mopar Mile-High Nationals in Morrison, Co., are down to a 16-car ladder, as eliminations began Saturday afternoon.
The biggest surprise of the day occurred in the first round of Super Stock, as number one qualifier, Larry Schmidt, driving his SS/PA 1955 Chevrolet rolled through the staging beams and triggered the red-light.
Stock top qualifier Brent Hajek and the 42nd and final qualifier Lane Weber both advanced to Sunday’s final eliminations. Number one qualifier Hajek and his A/SA Ford Cobra-Jet Mustang received the bye into round three. Weber and his V/SA 1978 Buick Skylark advanced when Mike Coe fouled.
In Super Comp, Steve Williams, the vice-president of K&N Filters out of Loma Linda, Calif., captured the number one qualifying position after recording a 9.501-second elapsed time. Williams has the bye run into the third round.
The Super Gas division is down to 14 cars after two rounds on Saturday. Colorado racer Tony Deluzio took the number one qualifying spot driving his classic 1964 Ford Falcon ran dead-on the 10.500-second standard in the opening stanza. Deluzio will have a chance to win one for the home town crowd when sportsman eliminations conclude tomorrow afternoon.
