DARIN BAY UNLEASHES 293 MPH BLAST AT 33RD FOX HUNT
The 33rd edition of the Pennzoil Fox Hunt presented by A &
I Distributing enjoyed positively outstanding weather as
temperatures climbed into the low 80’s under partly cloudy
skies, as a good-sized crowd attended the one event where all
ladies are admitted free of charge.
With nearly 200 racers competing over the weekend, a number of
outstanding performances were recorded in the eighth and ninth
stop in the Boise Muffler/Auto Body Paint & Supply Series.
Noteworthy was the fifth consecutive victory by Lynde Fischer in
Sportsman eliminator on Friday night. Her winning streak came to
end on Saturday when an untimely redlight ended her five
straight trips to the winner’s circle in round one. Chris
Jaggers enjoyed a fine showing himself in Friday’s Super Pro
class (and Saturday’s Box Gambler), winning two eliminators in
one weekend. A tip of the hat also goes out to Tim Osmus who
toppled twenty-four entries in Saturday’s Snow/Bike eliminator,
his first victory in the category. Lastly, thanks to all the
Naughty Girls for putting together a fine showing on both days
of the popular Fox eliminator division. This year’s big prize
winners (which included a pair of handcrafted quilts by Jackie
Alley) were Stephanie Meimann and Julie Hart.
The Jets put on a spectacular show. Darin Bay made his debut
appearance at Firebird with his jaw-dropping “Incinerator”
Dragster. He blitzed the Firebird quarter-mile at 289 and 293
mph against the colorful “Warhawk” of Derek Snelson.
In Nostalgia Funny Car, Greg Howland was the star of the
weekend, running 6.82-205.99 and 6.80-207.90. The second
quickest Funny Car performance was recorded by Royce Taylor who
put together an impressive pair of passes, carding a 7.36-193.25
and 7.12-200.57 with his `72 Mach 1. In the West Coast Top
Sportsman class, Will Boxold cranked out a 7.98, 7.99, and 7.97
en route to his first Firebird victory.
