Walter Pfister's '87 hatchback could only hustle to a 9.36 best, which placed him 19th on the Drag Radial final qualifying sheet. While he missed the show, Pfister did go out in style--and on the bumper. The Fox-body reached for the stars each time it left the starting line in qualifying, bringing the fans to their feet at the same time.

Tim Lynch's twin-turbo Cobra went easy on everyone in Outlaw 10.5 qualifying, taking home the top spot with a 6.79. When it came time to do business, though, the Steve Petty-tuned Mustang obliterated the field and the record books. Lynch opened eliminations with a stellar 6.61 before recording a pair of 6.54s to get to the final. The Lynch Mob's day culminated with a 6.534, 220-mph blast that became the quickest run by a 10.5W car to date.

Former NHRA Super Gas and Super Comp standout Steve Drummond bucked the trend and qualified his '69 Mustang 16th in Outlaw 10.5. Drummond's old-school Stang was one of three cars competing in the class that were not late-model body styles, and it was the only Ford of that group. His 7.19, 194-mph effort was no match for Tim Lynch's Mustang in Round 1, though.

Chris Connor's '88 Mustang did the Blue Oval faithful proud in Heavy Street. Connor's Fox-body was the only Ford product to make it to the semifinals of the predominately GM inhabited class. Connor, who qualified Sixth with a 7.34, gave away a stout 7.22-second blast in the semis when he fouled out against eventual runner-up Jorge Rodriquez's '86 Camaro.

Chris Little's turbocharged '90 Mustang spent more time on two wheels than it did on all four. The green notchback qualified 13th in Drag Radial with an 8.63 and made its way to the final round, one bumper-dragging pass after another. Unfortunately, the hard landings took a toll on the car, as Little broke right after the Tree went green in the money round.

Yanni Papakosmas ended up filling in for John Chemin, who couldn't make the call for Round 1 of Heavy Street. Papakosmas and his turbocharged '04 Cobra was the 18th qualifier with an 8.15. Unfortunately, Papakosmas took the Round 1 loss to Henry Jackson and his '69 Camaro.

With a 7.06, Rocky Rosella qualified ninth with the Mike Carrabs-owned '03 Mustang in the Outlaw 10.5 field. The twin-turbo monster lost a close first-round duel with Jim Robbins, however.

We have to admit that when we heard Brett Hull was in the house, we were waiting for a hat trick, a fight, and a couple of body slams against the boards. It took a few minutes to realize that we weren't at the hockey arena but at Raceway Park taking a closer look at the other Brett Hull and his super-clean '93 Cobra. The red snake ended up in Ninth Place on the Drag Radial qualifying sheet with an 8.10. Unfortunately, after recording an opening-round victory over the Mustang of Richard Boch, Hull broke after scoring a sizeable holeshot over second-round opponent Scott Bitzer.

A pair of Mustangs duked it out in the Drag Radial final, as the notchbacks of Chris Little (far lane) and Mike Modeste (near lane) squared off. The race was over before the 60-foot clock, however, as Little broke soon after launch, handing the win to Modeste, who motored to a 7.97.

Tim Lynch (near lane) was letting it all hang out, and Chuck Ulsch (far lane) knew he'd have to step on his nitrous oxide-induced Camaro to try and down the twin-turbo Mustang of Lynch in the Outlaw 10.5 final. Ulsch overstepped the traction boundary, however, as he blew the tires away early into the run. Lynch flat-out drove away, ripping off a 6.53-second blast for a win that was nearly impossible to beat.
