The Late model Racecraft crew, with driver Steve Fereday, is always a force to be reckoned with in the Drag Radial category with their twin turbocharged LS2 Trans Am, pumping out upwards of 50 pounds of boost.

This may be the only view that the Drag Radial field gets of defending event winner Mike Brown and his '98 Trans Am this weekend. The car, powered by an LS2 fed by a 114mm turbocharger and backed with a Rossler TH-210 transmission is the second quickest LS-powered Radial car in history at 7.27 seconds and 202 MPH.

Chris Fowler, from Keller, Texas, is back competing in the All Motor category after missing last years event in Memphis. His '90 Camaro sports a 430-inch powerplant with LS7 cylinder heads making in the neighborhood of 850 horsepower. Chris and the Xtreme Horsepower team have put a new Neal Chance torque converter in the car and will be making their first pass this afternoon with the new drivetrain setup in hopes of some high 8-second laps.

The Late Model Racecraft team brought their supercharged 2010 Camaro out for the Camaro Shootout. This car has been in the 9.50's and went a 9.77 t 135 MPH early in the going during testing.

Mike Brown made a nice smooth hit with a soft launch and sailed through to a 7.820 at 185.41.

On his second hit of the day, Steven Fereday laid down a great 7.691 at 184.67. Mark Koehler has the quickest lap thus far in testing with a slightly quicker 7.63 at 171.

Mark Carlyle powered his gorgeous Drag Radial ZO6 to an 8.754 at 167 MPH.

Justin Keith brought his very clean 2002 Camaro over from nearby Kansas City, Missouri to compete in the LSX Index category. His car is powered by a forged LS3, sporting ported LS3 heads, a Victor Jr. intake, and a 300 horse nitrous setup. The combination is all new and both of Justin's passes today resulted in some high altitude wheelstands, thus leaving him unsure of just how quick the car is capable of running. Justin typically competes in the VAMP Series at KCIR in Kansas City.

Dustin Powell brought his Premier Auto Sports '98 Camaro up from the former site of the LSX Shootout, Memphis, TN, to try his hand at thew new-for-2010 Real Street heads up class. Dustin's Camaro is motivated by a stock LS2 short block with Trick Flow 225 heads, a Virginia Speed spec camshaft, an out-of-the-box Victor Jr. intake, and Fast 40 150mm throttle body, and utilizing a 175 shot of nitrous. Dustin indicated the car has run as quick as 5.90's in the eighth mile, which would equate to somewhere around 9.25 at the boards.

Mark Koehler, who made the best run in the category during testing, struggled to get down the race track on his opening qualifying hit, winding up third with an 8.264 seconds, 151.36 MPH effort.

While certainly well off the pace that he expected, especially given the excellent late evening conditions ripe for record-setting performances, Mike Brown went to the top of the leaderboard after the first round with a 7.934 at 182.87 pass.

Steven Fereday came out of the gate like gangbusters and powered into a wheelstand out to near the 330-foot mark before slamming back to earth, the underside of the car making contact with the racing surface and leaving a shower of sparks behind. Fereday holds down the bottom spot in the order with the shutoff 9.95 pass.

Chris Fowler grabbed the early lead in qualifying in the high-winding All Motor class with a 9.226 at 146.97.

John Ventrecca drove his sharp looking 433 cubic inch '99 Camaro to the second spot in the order with a 9.356 at 145.69 pass.

Robert Strong and his 398-inch LS-powered '87 Monte Carlo holds down the third spot with a 9.931 at 136.19.

Keith Berry, who already held the world record for IRS-equipped Corvettes, lowered the mark in the opening session with a crushing 8.225 at 168.35 MPH and 5.30 to the eighth mile that put more than a full second on everyone else in the category.

Paul Falcon from Durham, NC holds down the fourth spot on Real Street with his '01 Firebird Formula with a 9.686 at 143.98.

Stephen Wells' '02 Corvette from Westfield, NJ sits at the bottom of the order after one round with a 9.950-second, 136.21 MPH effort.

Jay McCardle brought his ultra-quick Corvette out to compete in the Index class, also with sights set on claiming the overall title in True Street this weekend. On the cars' very first full shakedown pass, the motor went lean and pushed out a head gasket, doing damage to the cylinder head in the opening round of qualifying on the 8.8-second lap. Jay and the East Coast Supercharging team were on the hunt for a replacement head or a welder to patch it up, and will surely have a late night ahead of them to get it repaired or replaced in time for tomorrows action.
