LAS VEGAS - LAS VEGAS 1 - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Fifth annual NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
     Right Lane: Vince Fourcade   Runs 6.898/199.64, Now #1
12:47 p.m. Current weather conditions: 66 degrees, 60 percent relative humidity, the absolute barometer 27.94 inches, adjusted altitude 3,044 feet, with a track temperature of 85 degrees.
Track drying took a little over the estimates 90 minutes, but not by much. Vince Fourcade got to lead off because he has the lowest points total. He is in the Hurley Blakeney, Nitrofish-sponsored '03 Ford Escort. Nice opening run.
      Left Lane: Gordie Rivera    Runs 10.992/80.15, Now #3
     Right Lane: Jim Cunningham   Runs 7.032/196.70, Now #2
Rivera shook and slowed. Cunningham ran it all the way through.
      Left Lane: Fernando Cuadra  Runs 7.290/190.27, Now #4
     Right Lane: Steve Johns      Runs 6.890/199.55, Now #1
Cuadra had a lot of tire spin on the launch. Johns made a clean pass in the "Grumpy-powered" Cavalier.
      Left Lane: Tony Rizzo       No Time, Now #8
     Right Lane: Ben Watson       Runs 6.953/198.17, Now #3
Rizzo left before the tree was activated. Watson made a clean run.
      Left Lane: V. Gaines        Runs 6.966/199.08, Now #4
     Right Lane: Troy Coughlin    Runs 6.970/199.29, Now #5
Troy's car was all over the first 300 feet of the lane. Gaines was slow off the starting line and never made it up.
      Left Lane: Ron Krisher      Runs 6.919/199.26, Now #4
     Right Lane: Mark Pawuk       Runs 6.882/199.46, Now #1
Both posted 1.01 60-foot times, but Pawuk pulled away from Krisher on the top end. Pawuk has the in-car camera this weekend and he was visibly pleased with this run after a very frustrating weekend in Gainesville.
      Left Lane: Barry Grant      Runs 6.965/198.50, Now #7
     Right Lane: Mark Whisnant    Runs 6.953/199.26, Now #5
Both were well behind the 330-foot times posted by Krisher and Pawuk.
      Left Lane: Kenny Koretsky   Runs 6.954/199.20, Now #8
     Right Lane: JR Carr          Runs 6.928/198.90, Now #5
Pawuk's run is looking better with each pair of cars that goes down the track...neither driver in this pair had any visible problems.
      Left Lane: Darrell Alderman Runs 6.933/199.61, Now #7
     Right Lane: Allen Johnson    Runs 6.919/199.55, Now #4
Two more clean runs...
      Left Lane: Jerry Haas       Runs 6.927/200.20, Now #7
     Right Lane: Jason Line       Runs 6.859/200.77, Now #1
Line shows what Greg Anderson/Ken Black power can do for you.
      Left Lane: Mike Edwards     Runs 6.944/199.26, Now #10
     Right Lane: Jim Yates        Runs 7.431/133.58, Now #19
Yates was on a fast pace to half track, second-quickest to that point, then he slowed, the car getting loose.
      Left Lane: Rickie Smith     Runs 6.925/199.97, Now #8
     Right Lane: Bruce Allen      Runs 6.898/199.37, Now #5
Smith's car was a bit out of the groove and moving around. Right down the groove for Allen, a smooth pass.
      Left Lane: Dave Connolly    Runs 6.977/198.58, Now #20
     Right Lane: Larry Morgan     Runs 6.891/200.11, Now #4
Connolly's car was very loose, all over the lane. Straight down the groove for Morgan.
      Left Lane: Jeg Coughlin     Runs 6.901/200.20, Now #8
     Right Lane: Warren Johnson   Runs 6.874/201.16, Now #2
Two pairs left...two straight runs and a big speed for WJ.
      Left Lane: Kurt Johnson     Runs 6.857/201.46, Now #1
     Right Lane: Greg Anderson    No Time, Now #28
Last pair...no times came up in Anderson's lane, the staging beam was still on after he launched. The starting line crew found a piece of cellophane blocking the staging beam, so the timing system never knew he'd left the line. He'll get another shot later this afternoon.

Results for Qualifying Round 2
LAS VEGAS - LAS VEGAS 1 - Notes from final, round 2 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Fifth annual NHRA SummitRacing.com Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
      Left Lane: Greg Anderson    Runs 6.812/202.03, Now #1
                                  No Prior Run
Current weather conditions: 67 degrees, 49 percent relative humidity, the absolute barometer 27.90 inches, adjusted altitude 3,146 feet, with a track temperature of 87 degrees.
Anderson made what appeared to be the best run of the first session, but a big piece of cellophane blew into one of the staging photo cells and the clock never started. He came back and showed his dominance by going to the #1 spot and setting both ends of the Las Vegas track record. Anderson's incremental times: 1.006/60-ft. 2.839/330-ft. 4.373/160.35 mph/660-ft. 5.696/1,000-ft.
      Left Lane: Jim Yates        Runs 6.948/198.17, Now #18
                                  Best prior run: 7.431/133.58, Was #27
     Right Lane: Tony Rizzo       Runs 7.008/198.32, Now #26
                                  No Prior Run
Now that the drama is out of the way, the rest of the unqualified cars will have to beat Darrell Alderman's 6.933 to get into the field. Yates made a good run, but came up short. Rizzo spun the tires and never had a chance.
      Left Lane: Jim Cunningham   Runs 16.105/60.62, Now #27
                                  Best prior run: 7.032/196.70, Was #27
     Right Lane: Gordie Rivera    Runs 17.350/46.76, Now #29
                                  Best prior run: 10.992/80.15, Was #29
Both cars had problems launching, Cunningham rolling the beams and Rivera with a balky engine, which died before he got very far down the track.
      Left Lane: Troy Coughlin    Runs 8.385/117.75, Now #24
                                  Best prior run: 6.970/199.29, Was #24
     Right Lane: Fernando Cuadra  Runs 6.989/198.06, Now #26
                                  Best prior run: 7.290/190.27, Was #28

      Left Lane: Ben Watson       Runs 6.935/199.17, Now #18
                                  Best prior run: 6.953/198.17, Was #20
     Right Lane: Dave Connolly    Runs 6.895/199.29, Now #8
                                  Best prior run: 6.977/198.58, Was #25
Connolly gets in nicely, bumping Alderman. That put JR Carr on the bubble at 6.928. Watson made a nice run, coming up just a bit short.
      Left Lane: Mark Whisnant    Runs 6.912/199.94, Now #13
                                  Best prior run: 6.953/199.26, Was #21

      Left Lane: Vince Fourcade   Runs 6.908/199.85, Now #11
                                  Best prior run: 6.898/199.64, Was #11

No improvement in either lane...
      Left Lane: Larry Morgan     Runs 6.877/200.68, Now #5
                                  Best prior run: 6.891/200.11, Was #8

Nice pass by Morgan to move up the ladder. Haas failed to improve and posted his first DNQ of the 2004 season.
      Left Lane: Steve Johns      Runs 6.888/200.95, Now #8
                                  Best prior run: 6.890/199.55, Was #8
     Right Lane: Rickie Smith     Runs 6.896/200.35, Now #10

Pawuk made another solid run, but failed to improve. Krisher failed to improve and won't be in the field tomorrow. Now Gaines is safe, the remaining cars are already in the field.
      Left Lane: Warren Johnson   Runs 6.864/201.16, Now #4
                                  Best prior run: 6.874/201.16, Was #4
     Right Lane: Jeg Coughlin     Runs 6.896/200.02, Now #11
                                  Best prior run: 6.901/200.20, Was #14

                                  Best prior run: 6.857/201.46, Was #2
KJ's car stalled at the end of the burnout, unable to back up. He was pushed back to the starting line, the engine still running. He made a good run, but Line, in the Greg Anderson team car, did his job and nudged Kurt down into the third spot on the ladder.
