This round of the Midwest Open Comp Series had some of the best series of reaction times ever posted, during qualifying and the race there were a number of great reaction times posted. Even the foul starts were in the -.000's
The opening round began with the 'tree killer' Jim Winters squeezing the tree just abit too much with a -.005 foul start and John Miller nailing it with a .018 and running a 10.751 off of his 10.64 index.
Then it was 'the phenom' Eric Sloan's .035 initiated run of 16.941 off of his 16.87 index that was enough to cover Jay 'Stock/SuperStock' Roeder's 11.342 run off of his 11.25 index after having given Eric a little extra head start.
The last pair had Gene Hinders taking the win with a 10.723 off of his 10.65 index when Dave Gibson had an oh-so-close foul at the start with a -.007 reaction time.
The Semi-Finals had Gene vs Eric and John with the bye-run.Eric just missed it with a -.005 reaction time and his 17.017 would have fell short anyway as Gene ran a 10.726 off of his 10.65 index.
John made a full pass of it on his single and posted a 10.763 off of his 10.64 index with a .074 reaction-time.
The finals would be virtually a heads-up race with Gene's index at 10.64 and John's at a 10.65 index. The reaction time was the clincher in the final round as both drivers ran 10.70's....Gene a 10.708 and John a 10.704...the winning difference was Gene's .024 reaction compared to John's .050 reaction time.
The next event is October 14th at Cedar Falls Raceway...See Ya There!!!!
