Ford Mustang Front View
It looked to be the Halfacre brothers weekend in Street Outlaw. They had gone in the 7.50s on every pass during test and tune as well as qualifying. Unfortunately, a broken transmission in Round 1 prevented their WFC victory dream from being realized.		 Ford Mustang Passengers Side View

Street Outlaw racer Mike Trimandilis scored a career best of 7.53 in qualifying but broke in Round 2 of eliminations. The ProCharger-blown Mustang was deadly all day in qualifying with mid-7-second runs. Trimandilis held on to the number-one spot until the final round of qualifying where Urist and Burton moved ahead of him, 7.50 and 7.52, respectively.

Nick Yarber came to play in Nitto Wild Street, but his best 8.23-second effort was not enough to get around eventual winner Mike Keenan, whose 7.69 had him covered by a wide margin.		 Ford Ranger Passengers Side View
Mike Olson's Windsor-powered, nitrous-sniffing Ranger used numerous nine-second runs to get to the finals, but was outgunned against the turbocharged small-block Mustang of Mike Keenan.		 Ford Coupe Drivers Side View
In the gear-bangin' Real Street class, Port Byron, Illinois' Craig Baldwin and his Vortech-blown coupe readily handled Chad Maskney's '06 Saleen in the first round of competition. Round 2 had him facing off against Brian Meyer's machine, which chalked up a stout 9.86/141-mph performance, but Baldwin prevailed, posting a 9.67 elapsed time for the win and a trip to the final round. There, Tim Matherly left 0.054 second early, handing Baldwin the win.

Randy WickenhausER proved his Cobra was fast and consistent, posting times of 10.98, 11.03, 11.00, and 11.00. It was this intense racing that took him to the winner's circle of the DiabloSport Cobra Challenge at WFC9.		 Ford Mustang Rear View
Hailing from Houston, Texas, Josh Wischnewsky was all about putting up the big numbers in St. Louis. He qualified at the top with a 9.19/152-mph perform-ance followed by a 9.49 in the first round.
