After a disappointing
finish in Gainesville, the Lugo Performance team had only 2 weeks to
put together an entire new engine program. Friday's test pass was
the first time the new motor had been run past 3000RPM, so the team
was completely untested with the new combination. The first
qualifying run on Friday yielded a 9.38 @ 158, with Erica peddling
hard the bottom end of the track. This put Erica in the #4 spot for
Saturday's race within a race. The race within a race, sponsored by
Innovative turbo matched the top 8 qualifiers from Friday in a
ladder on Saturday.
Saturday morning, Erica
was paired 1st round against Christina Eldert's new coupe. After
all was said and done, Erica advanced to the 2nd round with a win on
the tree and at the light. 2nd round, Erica spun hard off the line
again and was defeated by Norris McKay, who went on to win the
final. |

With a final qualifying
effort of 9.21 @ 158, Erica was #4 on Sunday's ladder. Her first
round match up paired her with Alex Vretto. Unfortunately, Erica
had problems on the line spooling up and lost on a hole shot,
running a quicker 9.24 to Alex's 9.44. |
