Houston FFW

June 27-29, 2003 -- Old Dominion Nationals


 

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.
