ROUND

Pos Name Hometown ST Vehicle R.T. ET MPH

W Gary Tripp, Imperial, MO 1969 406 Camaro 0.185 12.978 68.80
RU Paul Schoelich, Owensville, MO 1990 408 Mustang -0.053 (foul) 10.577 132.59

Although Gary Tripp was making his fourth final round appearance in twenty-eight days, the Chevy
racer from Imperial, Missouri, finally scored his first victory in the 2006 SX Performance Street Car
Shootout Series. Despite a variety of problems which kept him from qualifying for the championship
run-off, Tripp was called into the trophy dash as an alternate and used the last-minute reprieve to his
advantage by winning over first-time finalist Paul Schoelich’s Mustang.

Astounding atmospheric conditions drew the season’s largest field of entries and the weather made it
worth the trip; no less than fifty cars ran quicker than 13.00 seconds and an incredible one hundred
fifty machines ran quicker than 15.00 seconds! Spectators made an equally impressive turnout to
witness the third-quickest SCSS program yet with the “Super Sixteen” qualifiers all under 11.74
seconds with a record average speed for the field of 126.75 miles per hour. Of the top 150 qualifiers,
109 drivers recorded career-best performances...usually by more than a tenth of a second. The
corrected elevation was 509 feet above sea level when timed trials began and dropped to 292 feet
by 8:00 PM. When the final rounds closed out the show in nippy 50-degree air, the altitude had
plummeted to 267 feet below sea level for the best conditions since the May 3rd, 2005, SCSS
event! Initially, the track surface remained above 80 degrees and traction was potent enough for
NHRA Pro Stock racer Dave Howard’s 500 cubic-inch ‘06 Chevy Cobalt to clock a 6.68-second run
at a track record 206.54 miles per hour during testing at the start of the SCSS program.

The race featured two wild rides. Only thirty minutes into the official qualifying period, Dave Ramsey
left the starting on a single run in his gorgeous blue 2005 Mustang. Spinning the tires hard, Ramsey
held on as the Ford performed a 270-degree spin three hundred feet downtrack without making wall
contact. Late in the meet, Mike Young, Jr., launched his ‘90 355 Malibu hard enough to spit out the
left rear wheel and axle; sliding from the left to the right lane, Young barely missed his opponent
while spinning in a trail of sparks!

August 8th SCSS champion Ben Nungester returned with his beautiful ghost-flamed ‘69 Camaro
Rallye Sport but suffered the same maladies as his first outing with his new MSD progressive timing
system box two weeks ago. After one launch, Nungester shut down the 10-second Chevy, retired the
car and spent the remainder of the evening assisting friend Tripp who had installed a similar unit
after last week’s runner-up. Using Nungester’s knowledge of the electronics, Tripp’s 406-inch ‘69
Camaro was the first to break into the ten-second zone with a 10.377/134.06 only twenty-five
minutes into the qualifying period but was making strange sounds thoughout the run. “We’re new at
this”, said Nungester as he watched Tripp’s pass, “but we’ll figure it out”.

Only current SCSS Season Championship point leader Tony Buhl threatened Tripp; the Illinoisan’s
Vortech-blown 331-inch ‘89 Mustang hit a 10.69/126.41 to move in the second qualifying position
while Tripp ran a 10.40/129.38 with the odd noises still eminating from the smallblock Chevy. Only a
few minutes later, however, Tony Huff appeared for his first run. After receiving assistance from Sam
Moore and Bill Silva of the SCSS Speed Record-holding Silva Bullet Ford team en route to a win last
week, Huff’s 468-inch ‘68 Nova thundered to a 9.418 at 141.77 mph, only three thousandths of a
second slower than his career-best recorded seven days ago. In a surprising twist, Moore was also
piloting the S-10 owned by Dale Huff which Tony debuted at the September 5th event.

Mike Faller and Lambert Fleck of the FastRides.net team
showed with their Springfield, Illinois-based ‘98 Camaro and charged to a best-ever 10.59/127.13 to
move into the third spot while Buhl struggled to improve and Tripp slowed to a 10.92/126.22 as the
electronics problems began to get out of hand. Then, with only eighteen minutes remaining in the
qualifying session, unheralded Paul Schoelich staged his nondescript ‘90 Mustang. The black Ford
had clocked an impressive 10.77/130.34 earlier in qualifying to become the 50th member of the
SCSS 10-Second Club and the 26th member of the SCSS 130 MPH Club. Schoelich, (pronounced
“SHELL-lick”), banged the four-speed in his naturally-aspirated 408-inch ‘Stang to a 10.370 at
132.31 mph and, by seven thousandths of a second, bumped his way past Tripp and into the
final round with Huff!

The drama didn’t end there, however. Huff made one last attempt to take advantage of the amazing
air but the Nova came crashing down from mid-wheelstand when the transmission converter fried just
off the line. Bob Morrill, the first driver over 150 mph in SCSS competition and a member of the Silva
Bullet team, turned as Huff coasted to the finish line and said, “Well, THAT one ain’t comin’
back!”.

Indeed, the damage to Huff’s Nova was terminal; the winningest SCSS driver quickly sent word that
he would not appear for the final round. That meant Schoelich assumed the pole position and Tripp,
who’d been knocked out of the final by less than a hundredth of a second, was back in as first
alternate. Interestingly, both Schoelich and Tripp made test runs during the late timed trial period
only minutes before the championship race. The Ford ran 10.49/132.49 but Tripp, with the engine
sounding nearly normal, hit a 10.15 at 138.34 mph. “I fixed it!”, yelled a grinning Nungester as
the numbers appeared on the scoreboards, “Now we can race!”.
