After a promising qualifying session placing Joe Delehay and his Tim McAmis built 1968 Camaro in the number 4 position with a 6.24 @ 228 mph, Delehay and his PM Motorsports team entered eliminations with high expectations.

In the first round of eliminations Delehay was paired against Perry Thyr. After experiencing electrical problems all weekend Delehay and team thought the figured out their issues and defeated Thyr with a 6.35 @ 223 mph to Thyr's aborted tire shaking pass.

Unfortunately for Delehay engine problems forced him to withdrawal from competition and give Rick DiStefano a single in the second round.

"In the first round the started broke off the car going through the finish line" said Delehay, "Luckily it didn't go under a tire and cause worse damage".

Although disappointed with their finish Delehay and team have a three week break to get the car ready for their next stop in the West Coast Pro Mod series in Spokane, Washington.
