Qualifying is complete at the Dome Valley Raceway March Madness event. Dennis Rieck thrilled the crowd with an incredible 2.214 pass in the final qualifying session.

Top Eliminator points leader Billy Morris continued to have the hot hand running a 2.953 (2.95 Index) off the trailer. John Cronin ran a 2.97 in the Fast Fours class driving the Meltdown car this weekend. Wes Gilmore kept things going his way as he shoed the Rattitude Jeep to the Open Pro victory.
