Here is the 2006 SCDC Tally and results:

First I want to thank everyone that was able to make the trip to Cordova. AMS and a few of us from DSMCentral and Aura Racing had gotten together the night before for some pre-racing festivities. It was a good time!

We had a total of only 42 racers registered...So there were plenty of runs for everyone!

We had (6) entries into the Street Stock FWD class.
There were (10) entries into the Street Stock AWD/RWD Class.
(4) entered into the Street Modified Class.
Only (2) entered the Street Fab Class.
...And just (2) Entered the Quick 16 Class.

There was a WHOLE LOT of carnage so it cut down on the number of entries.

For the Street Stock FWD Class the winners were:

1st Place - Sean Roberts from Bartonville in his 97 Nissan with a best of 13.310 @ 109mph but won against the second place finisher with a 14.266 @ 106mph. Roberts went home with the #1 trophy, a $200 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate, a $50 Autometer Gift Certificate and a Tial 38mm Waste gate!

2nd Place - Josh Gale from Pekin in his 04 SRT4 that ran a best of 13.691 @ 103mph, but came in 2nd with a 14.682 @ 102mph. Gale went home with the #2 trophy, a $100 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate and Autometer clothing.

3rd place - Went to Jim Morgan from Galesburg in his 05 SRT4 that ran a best of 14.476 @101mph. Morgan had lost to a John Duyvejonch from Moline in a 93 Ford Probe who had run a best of 14.093 @ 101mph, but was disqualified for having a non stock power adder. Morgan went home with the #3 trophy, a $50 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate and Autometer clothing.

Honorable mention goes to Michael Szromba from S. Holland, IL in his 97 Eclipse who ran a best of 14.023 @ 99mph in qualifying and Kristin Compton from Plainfield, IL in her 92 Plymouth Laser that a best of 15.974 @ 94mph in the first round.

For the Street Stock AWD/RWD Class the winners were:

3rd Place – Ben Stoner from N. Vernon, IL in his 97 Eclipse with a best of 12.294 @ 115mph, but it was not enough to take Ecleman down in the 2nd to last race. Stoner went home with the #3 trophy and a $50 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate.

Honorable mention goes out to George Bohren from Cedar Rapids, IA who ran a 12.596 @ 112mph in his 90 Eagle Talon during qualifying...

Unfortunately Rizzo spun a bearing after running a 12.486 @ 108 during qualifying in his 00 Honda, obviously taking him out of the running.

For the Street Fab class meant to welcome the V8 and specialty car owners the winners were:

1st Place – Our very own Chris Lange from Peoria, IL who ran a best of 13.627 @ 100mph in the final round. Chris took advantage of the fact that this class was pretty much open to anyone and only one V8 entered otherwise. Chris took home the #1 trophy, a $200 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate and a $50 Autometer Gift Certificate.

2nd Place – Our one and only V8 entry was Greg Harmon from Peoria, IL in his 00 Trans Am. Greg’s best run was a 13.538 @ 105mph in the final round, but lost with a .426 reaction time to Lang’s .158. Harmon went home with the #2 trophy, a $100 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate and Autometer clothing.

3rd Place was not awarded due to lack of entrants.

For the infamous Quick 16 class the winner’s were:

1st Place – Albert Raczynski from Michigan won with a 10.145 @ 148mph in his beautiful 95 Eagle Talon that was converted from FWD to AWD over the winter while implementing a GT42R Turbo. Albert took home the Big trophy as well as a $350 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate, a $50 Autometer Gift Certificate.

2nd Place – Yosuf Begil from Glendale Heights, IL in his93 EVO2 ran a best 11.219 @ 123mph in the final round with the engine popping from electrical problems on the big end. Yosuf went home with the #2 trophy, a $150 AMS/Excedy Clutch gift certificate and Autometer clothing.

3rd Place was not awarded due to lack of entrants by unfortunate breakage.

I want to send out a HUGE thanks to AMS for getting prize sponsorship of this event together and bringing out some great high quality cars.

We had some great runs. The fastest run was put down by a hemi-powered pro stock chassis owned/piloted by Mark Kirkman from Kirkman Composites with a crazy 7.9 that was also able to roll a 9 second pass even when getting out of the gas at the 8th mile. As usual our good friend Robin Lawrence showed up to make a number of test & tune 10 second passes. In fact he was a good sport and ran the AMS EVO in a fun run. This was one of the best runs I seen all day! Robin Lawrence’s 05 Mustang took the AMS EVO hard off the line. Robin ran another beautiful 10 second run, but the AMS EVO pulled it out running by Robin right after mid track with a 9 second pass. Very good time!

Thanks to everyone…
