The third round match up against

was on his game with a reaction time
advantage over Stanley to take the

left with a .092 hole shot, but Pearl’s tune up from long time crew chief Kurt Thomas gave
him the quicker ET to take the win.
The Meyer Racing Team also had their hands full on race day. The first round pitted
Meyer against newcomer Brian Hamel (South Hadley, MA) on Dan Zeiring’s new CKIII Pro
Stock. The team ran very well in their first NSA outing, but they we’re outrun in this match
up by the Veteran. The second round pitted Meyer against Brittney Marston (Fairfield,
Maine) on her very competitive Team Frustration Ski Doo. Marston cut a better light than
Meyer, but Meyer’s tune up allowed him to run her down on the top end. And in keeping
with a day of close NSA Pro Stock racing, Meyer faced the number two qualifier of Paul
Austin (Jackson, Michigan) in the semi finals for what would prove to be another close
margin of victory.
