From earlier Friday morning, by HOT ROD Editor-in-Chief David Freiburger:
"Yesterday's Cedar Falls race didn't bring too many surprises, with most cars performing as they have all week. The eye opener was Ev Bernardo in Small Block Power Adder with his SN95 Mustang loaded with a twin turbo Chevy. He's been strong all week, running 8.60s, but came up with an 8.36 yesterday. He had some new tires shipped to Cordova and has 7s in mind today." (Posted 9/14/07)
