Yesterday’s all day rains completely washed out the Friday night qualifying….Saturday was rain free and with cool temperatures. A near sellout crowd came out to World Wide Technology Raceway to watch the best in NHRA.
With Saturday being the only day of qualifying puts great pressure on the teams Saturday to qualify for Sunday’s eliminations. Most weekends teams have two days of qualifying and generally Friday nights and cool weather allow for fast times…then on Saturdays teams with safe qualifying times can concentrate on testing and preparation for Sunday. But this weekend is not the case.
“You have to get down fast,” said Enders commenting on the one day of qualifying. “It is a fine line of fast and a bit out of control”
