I'll answer your question on why was there three bye runs in round 2 of SS.
************************************************** **********************************

Sal Biondo had the scheduled rd 2 bye after getting a bye run in rd 1 (when #2 qualifier frank modugno was a no-show).

David Barton got a rd 2 bye because #1 qualifier and record setter (joe garbarine) did not show for his first rd bye (and gave David a free pass in rd 2).

Frank Aragona got a free run in rd 2 also because his opponent was supposed to be the winner of the Greg Porter (who no-showed for rd 1) and Rich Diorio. Rich attempted his bye but something happened to his throttle (stuck???) and after a long burnout, he shut off and was pushed back (don't know if he was dq'ed or broke). That gave Aragona the rd 2 bye.
