2015 GS Nationals Race Results
- Thread starter HighPSI
- Start date
The ladder looked like this:
#1 Dave Fiscus had a bye
Dave was the only guy to run a 4.xx in qualifying and looked like the guy to beat
#8 Dave England vs #9 Brad Tennison
These guys are great friends and probably weren't to happy to have to race each other first round
#4 Billy T vs #13 David Day
David's car was running the best it ever had in THS, but he was going to need it all against Billy who had also run a personal best in TSO
#5 Richie Balcom vs #11 Paul Dubois
This was a battle of TSM cars. Paul had been struggling with fuel issues all weekend and Richie had been sorting the starting line out
#2 Don Cruz vs #15 Jason Cramer
Both of these guys were having transmission issues. On paper it was Don's race to lose, but would his trans hold up?
#7 Jimmy Morrison vs #10 Martin Riendeau
Martin looked like he was having fun all weekend racing two classes. Jimmy was fighting traction issues and was way off the pace for him
#3 Gary Harmon vs #14 Junior Turner
Gary had been fighting an electrical gremlin all weekend. Junior was slowly sneaking up on the boost of his 4000#!!!! ride
#6 John Plog vs #11 Tom Dykeman
Both of these cars were TSM entries. John was hit or miss on the starting line while Tom had just ran a personal best

TSO Final:
#1 qualifier Dave Fiscus vs #2 qualifier Don Cruz
This race had the fences lined with spectators. Dave's car had been running consistent low 5's & high 4's. Don's car had ran a 5.03 in qualifying. The big question was what he had left in it.
Don left the light first by a small margin and ran quicker to the 60'. By the 330' they were within a couple thousandth's of each other. Dave edged out the victory with a winning 5.03 to Don's 5.06. The margin of victory was 0.02
Congratulations to Dave Fiscus on being the 2015 TSO champion

Congrats to ALL racers, especially Dave Fiscus for winning & having the low ET for the class.
THANKS to Holly & Cal for all they do, they are a HUGE asset to the class AND the whole community!
Can't wait for next year, going to be even closer!
Hope someone makes a video for the whole event, that way I can see what happened.

Cal,
I'm sure there was lots of talk about this, but why the change to 1/8th format. Were they getting too fast for 1/4?
Here I was talking about the TSO guys running a 7.5x this year. Thanks for the play by play.
Any idea why Tony Gomes didn't show up?
