Results for Qualifying Round 1
POMONA, Calif. - POMONA 2 - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Stock Motorcycle at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 46th annual Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals listing lane, rider name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
 
     Right Lane: Aaron Pine       No Time, Now #1
1:24 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 68 degrees, relative humidity 23 percent, barometer 29.06 inches, adjusted altitude 1,909 feet, track temperature 93 degrees.

Pine finished second in Division 7 Sportsman Motorcycle competition this year and was supposed to make his Pro Stock Motorcycle debut today on a Katie Sullivan Suzuki, but the bike kept losing fire in the water and they pushed it to the side.

      Left Lane: Rhett Lougheed   Runs 7.244/182.67, Now #1
     Right Lane: Dawn Baugues     No Time, Now #3 
Baugues staged and left, did not wait for the tree. Lougheed made a clean run, he's #1 for now...
      Left Lane: Chris MacLaurin  Runs 7.250/180.74, Now #3
     Right Lane: Matt Guidera     Runs 7.049/188.73, Now #1
Now Guidera is #1 - again, for now.
      Left Lane: S. Pollacheck    Runs 7.301/180.52, Now #5
     Right Lane: Freddie Camarena Runs 7.115/188.04, Now #2 

      Left Lane: Bailey Whitaker  Runs 7.090/183.84, Now #2
     Right Lane: Katie Sullivan   Runs 7.300/184.45, Now #6
Sullivan's bike bogged a bit on the launch, killing her ET.
      Left Lane: Joe DeSantis     Runs 7.120/189.52, Now #5
     Right Lane: Redell Harris    Runs 7.119/187.81, Now #4
We are almost half way through the field and Guidera is still atop the list. One of these two went a few feet long, stopping a few feet into the sand pit.
      Left Lane: Mike Berry       Runs 7.183/181.01, Now #7
     Right Lane: Shawn Gann       Runs 7.020/186.87, Now #1
Gann takes over the top spot and we should see a few sixes before the round is over.
      Left Lane: Angie Smith      Runs 7.016/185.69, Now #2
     Right Lane: Jim Underdahl    Runs 6.983/193.85, Now #1
Smith is reportedly going to be running in a four-wheeled Pro Stocker next season. She beat up on Underdahl in the short times, but his Suzuki took over on the top end and he is now #1 withour first six of the weekend.

Angie Smith's incremental times: 60ft-1.083 sec., 330ft-2.887, 660ft-4.441/156.70 mph, 1,000ft-5.817.
Jim Underdahl's incremental times: 60ft-1.130 sec., 330ft-2.944, 660ft-4.478/159.10 mph, 1,000ft-5.827.

      Left Lane: David Hope       Runs 7.111/181.69, Now #7
     Right Lane: Craig Treble     Runs 6.958/192.03, Now #1
Hope's Buell made a big wiggle as he passed the tree and that had to hurt his ET. Treble made a very nice opening run and went tright to the head of the list. Craig Treble's incremental times: 60ft-1.072 sec., 330ft-2.881, 660ft-4.428/157.69 mph, 1,000ft-5.790.
      Left Lane: Karen Stoffer    Runs 7.031/186.10, Now #6
     Right Lane: Michael Phillips Runs 6.948/193.71, Now #1 

      Left Lane: Steve Johnson    Runs 7.111/184.70, Now #10
     Right Lane: Hector Arana     Runs 6.870/194.35, Now #1
Arana had a very quick ride right feom the start, with a 1.060 60-foot time! Hector Arana's incremental times: 60ft-1.060 sec., 330ft-2.862, 660ft-4.385/160.73 mph, 1,000ft-5.720.
      Left Lane: Eddie Krawiec    Runs 6.893/193.54, Now #2
     Right Lane: Matt Smith       Runs 6.896/189.52, Now #3
Smith was even quicker than Arana at 60 feet, but could not match Arana's top-end charge - or Krawiec's either.

Eddie Krawiec's incremental times: 60ft-1.096 sec., 330ft-2.883, 660ft-4.401/160.63 mph, 1,000ft-5.738.
Matt Smith's incremental times: 60ft-1.059 sec., 330ft-2.850, 660ft-4.378/159.68 mph, 1,000ft-5.724.

      Left Lane: LE Tonglet       Runs 12.187/63.12, Now #23
     Right Lane: Andrew Hines     Runs 6.874/193.24, Now #2
Tonglet needs to qualify well to keep Andrew Hines from stretching his 34 point championship lead to more than 40 points - because 40 points, like 34, is two rounds, 41 is three.

Bad run for Tonglet, off the throttle before going 300 feet. Hines made a strong run, took over the #2 spot and added two points to his lead - now Tonglet trails by 36 points.

Andrew Hines' incremental times: 60ft-1.081 sec., 330ft-2.867, 660ft-4.383/161.36 mph, 1,000ft-5.717.

Results for Qualifying Round 2
POMONA, Calif. - POMONA 2 - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro Stock Motorcycle at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 46th annual Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals listing lane, rider 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: Aaron Pine       Runs 7.922/172.56, Now #24
                                  No Prior Run
     Right Lane: LE Tonglet       Runs 6.943/189.31, Now #5
                                  Best prior run: 12.187/63.12, Was #23 
1:30 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 75 degrees, relative humidity 22 percent, barometer 29.13 inches, adjusted altitude 2,291 feet, track temperature 99 degrees.

This is a 'must-have" run for Tonglet, he lost two points to Andrew Hines yesterday with a mechanical failure and needs to make strong runs in qualifying to stay less than two rounds behind going into eliminations. Pine is making his delayed first-start in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Pine slowed early in the run, but Tonglet made a solid run - now we'll have to wait for the top runners to see if that's good enough to hold off Hines.

      Left Lane: Katie Sullivan   Runs 7.267/177.37, Now #22
                                  Best prior run: 7.300/184.45, Was #22
     Right Lane: S. Pollacheck    No Time, Now #23
                                  Best prior run: 7.301/180.52, Was #23 
Pollachek pushed the bike away from the water box. Sullivan improved slightly over yesterday's run, is still way off the race pace.
      Left Lane: Redell Harris    Runs 7.287/188.81, Now #17
                                  Best prior run: 7.119/187.81, Was #17
     Right Lane: Chris MacLaurin  Runs 7.370/164.11, Now #21
                                  Best prior run: 7.250/180.74, Was #21 
Harris had a lot of tire spin on the launch and never made up the lost time.
      Left Lane: Freddie Camarena Runs 7.126/183.77, Now #16
                                  Best prior run: 7.115/188.04, Was #16
     Right Lane: Rhett Lougheed   No Time, Now #20
                                  Best prior run: 7.244/182.67, Was #20 
Lougheed's bike bogged and died on the launch. Camarena ran slightly slower than he did yesterday, that's almost a tenth slower than he needs to be to make the field. Matt Guidera is on the bump spot at 7.049.
      Left Lane: Matt Guidera     Runs 7.026/185.82, Now #11
                                  Best prior run: 7.049/188.73, Was #12
     Right Lane: Mike Berry       Runs 7.164/179.25, Now #19
                                  Best prior run: 7.183/181.01, Was #19 
Guidera made a slightly better run than yesterday, moved one spot off the bump spot. Berry also improved, but is more than a tenth off the qualifying pace.
      Left Lane: Shawn Gann       Runs 6.984/187.52, Now #9
                                  Best prior run: 7.020/186.87, Was #10

                                  Best prior run: 7.111/181.69, Was #15 
Underdahl made a nice, straight, smooth run. Hope also improved slightly, but missed the provisional cutoff by one spot.
      Left Lane: Craig Treble     Runs 7.029/185.08, Now #8
                                  Best prior run: 6.958/192.03, Was #8
     Right Lane: Steve Johnson    Runs 6.996/188.57, Now #10
                                  Best prior run: 7.111/184.70, Was #15 
Johnson improved over a tenth and got into the field. Treble lost ground from yesterday, stays eighth. Now Matt Guidera is on the bump spot at 7.026.
      Left Lane: Michael Phillips Runs 7.065/187.34, Now #7
                                  Best prior run: 6.948/193.71, Was #7
     Right Lane: Bailey Whitaker  Runs 7.226/152.00, Now #15
                                  Best prior run: 7.090/183.84, Was #15 
Whitaker was on a strong run, might have qualified, but the bike made a hard move to the left and he had to lift to stay off the centerline.
      Left Lane: Matt Smith       Runs 6.951/186.59, Now #4
                                  Best prior run: 6.896/189.52, Was #4
     Right Lane: Karen Stoffer    Runs 6.966/187.86, Now #9
                                  Best prior run: 7.031/186.10, Was #13 
Smith failed to improve, but Stoffer stepped up and into the field. Now Angie Smith is on the bump spot at 7.016.
      Left Lane: Andrew Hines     Runs 6.931/189.63, Now #2
                                  Best prior run: 6.874/193.24, Was #2
     Right Lane: Angie Smith      Runs 6.968/187.03, Now #10
                                  Best prior run: 7.016/185.69, Was #12 
The remaining riders are already qualified, so there won't be any more bumping. Hines ran low ET of the session and that is a blow to Tonglet if somebody does not unseat Hines.
      Left Lane: Hector Arana     Runs 6.925/186.69, Now #2
                                  Best prior run: 6.870/194.35, Was #1
     Right Lane: Eddie Krawiec    Runs 6.865/194.21, Now #1
                                  Best prior run: 6.893/193.54, Was #3 
Krawiec made the quaickest run of the weekend and both riders beat Hines' time for this round, so he only gained one point more against Tonglet. Krawiec gets three points, Arana gets two, Hines just one for the session.

Eddie Krawiec's incremental times: 60ft-1.077 sec., 330ft-2.855, 660ft-4.373/161.13 mph, 1,000ft-5.710. Hines now leads Tonglet by 37 points - still just two round ahead.

      Left Lane: Angie Smith      Runs 7.208/178.52, Now #10
                                  Best prior run: 6.968/187.03, Was #10

Smith's bike was off the pace from the start. Smith made the quickest pass so far, not quite as quick as his run Thursday, but better than his run yesterday.
      Left Lane: Karen Stoffer    Runs 6.980/184.52, Now #9
                                  Best prior run: 6.966/187.86, Was #9

                                  Best prior run: 6.874/193.24, Was #3 
Tonglet had a bad run and won't get any bonus points, but Hines made the third-quickest run of the session and might earn one more point.
      Left Lane: Eddie Krawiec    Runs 6.905/192.60, Now #1
                                  Best prior run: 6.865/194.21, Was #1

Wow! Tonglet was in danger of falling more than 40 points behind Hines and he made the second-quickest run of the session (so far) and moved all the way up to second in the qualifying order. Meanwhile, Hines slowed and will get no bonus points.
      Left Lane: Hector Arana     Runs 6.851/195.19, Now #2
