Columbus, Friday: It wasn't pretty as a matter of fact most Pro Stock cars ran quicker than the Top Fuelers during the first two qualifying sessions at the Pontiac Performance Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. A low seven-second pass could get your Top Fuel team into the top five.

"I'd be lying if, I told you we weren't doing a rain dance in our pits," said Scott Weis, pilot of the Barrett Enterprises Top Fueler. "We have absolutely no illusions about holding the number five spot with this run. I'm sure the track will be much better tomorrow. It's fun to say your number five tonight though. I want give a shout out to our fans. The way they greeted us when we came back from that run you'd swear, we had just set a national record or something. I love racing in Columbus."

"Tonight was good for the morale of the team, we're all having good laugh," said tuner Howard Weis. "It's one of those we-stunk-less-than-you deals. Nobody in second round tonight has anything to be proud of so, you might as well get a good laugh out of it. The track got the best of me tonight, but I'm in some real good company.  We did learn something on that run that could be useful in 60-degree temperatures, so all in all it was a good night. That's drag racing for you. You never know what is going to happen till it happens.”
