In another night of guessing games on tires, Jimmy Mars chose the correct compound and moved his Pro Powered, Hoosier tire shod, T.J. Sinz #28 Mastersbilt chassis from the 17th starting position to take the lead on the 32nd lap and stayed out front to collect the $7,000.00 paycheck and a moment in the spotlight in front of TV crews from the Speed Channel in a taped moment that will be aired on February 27th at 9:00 ET.
80 cars took to the track for qualifying attempts with Million DOllar
Man Donnie Moran recording the fastest lap with a time of 14.766.
Terry English jumped out to an early lead and appeared the class of the field, but as his tires went away the cars in the back of the pack who chose harder compounds were on the move to the front, working their cars through the pack like a needle. Among those making big strides from starting spots at the rear of the field were Billy Moyer who started 22nd and moved to 6th and
Randy Korte who started 15th and finished 4th after running at one point battling for second, but all were overshadowed by the youngster from West Palm Beach, Florida; Jeff Choquette who was added to the field as the track promoters option and started 27th in the field and drove his backup ride to an impressive 7th place finish.
Following Mars at the stripe were Steve Francis, Donnie Moran, Korte, Rick Aukland, Moyer, Choquette, Earl Pearson, English and Xtreme 2003 Rookie of the Year contender Matt Miller rounding out the top 10.
Heat race action seen English claim the first heat ahead of Moran and Scott Bloomquist.
The second heat went to the patriarch of the Conley Clan, Delmas Conley over Rick Eckert and Aukland.
The third heat was topped in convincing fashion by open wheel standout and multiple time titleist Jimmy Owens over Miller and Korte.
The fourth heat went to Colorado hotshoe Kelly Boen who has been consistently competitive throughout the 2003 speedweeks competition as he went to the stripe ahead of Francis and Chub Frank.
The fifth heat was won by Dale McDowell over Don O'Neal and Mars.
The sixth and final heat was topped by Earl Pearson over Rob Blair and Brian Birkhofer.
There were three consis which added two transfers from each to the A-Main event. The first consi would transfer Randall Chupp and Mr. Smooth, Billy Moyer. The second consi transferred Steve Shaver and Davey Johnson. Greg Johnson finished second in the second consi but was determined to be light at the scale after the event and was therefore disqualified. The third and final consi would transfer Jackie Boggs and Anthony Rushing.
The dash was all Earl Pearson as he went to the checkered ahead of Conley, McDowell, English, Boen and Owens.
Mike Balzano added $300 and a flat of strawberries from Goodson Farms to his gelt by claiming the strawberry dash.
RENEGADE Dirt Car Series will play host to the late model contingent tomorrow night as Speedweeks "03 continues and the group conducts their Speedweeks finale with a $12,000 to win 75 lap main event.:
