Sunday Results

After a career best 6.135 during qualifying Delehay and team went into eliminations on Sunday with high hopes. "We ran my career best and the motor died at 5.6 seconds into the run" said Delehay, The cause of the motor dying was a poor cylinder head ground which broke during the run. "If that ground didn't break it would of ran a 6.0 second pass at over 235 mph easy" claimed Delehay.

During the first round of eliminations Delehay faced Vern Mills. The winner of this round was the best driver to recover from tire shake which in the end was Delehay. "It was a very close race at the finish line but I was able to recover first".

In the semi-finals Delehay was paired against the current WCPMA points leader Tommy Johanns. After shaking the tires in the first round Delehay and his PM Motorsports team were excited to see what would happen in this round as they thought they had figured what was wrong. Unfortunately for Delehay and team the car rolled through the staging beams after Delehay put the car on the two-step after staging, causing a disqualification which gave the win to the eventual event winner Tommy Johanns

"Although we are happy with the semi-final finsh we felt we had the right combo to win the race this weekend" said Delehay.

 

The PM Motorsports team are already home from Mission and getting the car ready for the IHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals this weekend in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
