Qualifying Round 2:

ROCKINGHAM, N.C. - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro Modified at the 2009 Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series, IHRA Spring Nationals presented by Advance Auto Parts and Castrol 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: Burton Auxier Runs 6.032/234.53, Now #1; No Prior Run 
Right Lane: Frederick Scriba Runs 7.454/128.14, Now #9; No Prior Run 

7:57 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 84 degrees, relative humidity 41 percent, barometer 29.78 inches, adjusted altitude 2,486 feet, track temperature 101 degrees.

Pete Farber's car was disqualified in tech because the injector hat was above the roof line, and he doesn't have a lower replacement, so he won't be racing this weekend.

Great run by Auxier to move to the head of the class and take the provisional "Last Man Standing" baton. Scriba had shake problems early and threw in the towel on the top end.


Left Lane: John Russo Runs 6.117/234.61, Now #5; No Prior Run 
Right Lane: Billy Gibson Runs 6.195/228.54, Now #8; No Prior Run 

Good runs in both lanes. Russo was quickest of the first session, failed fuel check.

Left Lane: Raymond Commisso Runs 23.442/32.82, Now #18; Best prior run: 17.449/50.68, Was #17 
Right Lane: Tommy Gray Runs 6.269/230.13, Now #9; Best prior run: 19.518/39.74, Was #18 

Commisso went red, shook, and slowed. Gray shook, pedaled, and finished the run. Points-leader Commisso has two more chances to get into the field tomorrow, but he has nothing to tune from.

Left Lane: Tim O'Hare Runs 6.183/226.54, Now #9; Best prior run: 11.769/74.52, Was #15 
Right Lane: Tim Tindle Runs 6.029/234.74, Now #1; Best prior run: 14.714/54.37, Was #17 

Mark Nielsen was on the bump spot at 12.151.

Two straight, clean runs, Tindle showing the quickness he's known for at other venues. He's #1 and the Last Man Standing. Now Ralph Andreacchi is on the bump spot at 8.355.


Left Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 6.030/237.50, Now #2; Best prior run: 8.111/115.76, Was #15 

Nice pass by Hoover, clean and straight, but he's only quick enough for #2.

Left Lane: Chip King Runs 6.160/226.77, Now #10; Best prior run: 6.890/219.61, Was #14 
Right Lane: Mark Nielsen Runs 6.223/230.10, Now #13; Best prior run: 12.151/80.32, Was #17 

Two more full passes with no major problems - obviously the improved copnditions suit these cars.

Right Lane: Ralph Andreacchi Runs 6.620/159.16, Now #16; Best prior run: 8.355/88.41, Was #17 

Those two runs put Frederick Scriba on the bump spot at 7.454. Andreacchi was just bumped from the field. Sounded like Andreacchi's car would not shift into high ngear and he shut off way before the stripe. Even so, he bumped into the field, on the bump spot.

Left Lane: Harold Martin Runs 7.418/135.33, Now #15; Best prior run: 6.562/179.40, Was #15 
Right Lane: Chris Russo Runs 6.116/224.85, Now #7; Best prior run: 6.120/232.87, Was #8 

Martin's swoopy M 4 looks like something out of "Blade Runner." Martin's car was making some darting moves and he shut off before half track. Russo made his second good run of the day, under drastically different conditions, only picked up a few thousandths.

Left Lane: Steve Vick Runs 6.144/227.00, Now #9; Best prior run: 6.133/227.00, Was #9 
Right Lane: Scotty Cannon Runs 6.045/235.06, Now #4; Best prior run: 6.102/235.06, Was #6 

This was all Cannon, a strong effort, but Tindle stays atop the qualfying list and the "Last Man Satnding" list.

Left Lane: Rickie Smith Runs 5.962/234.37, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.099/232.59, Was #5 
Right Lane: Kenny Lang Runs 6.163/220.58, Now #6; Best prior run: 6.101/236.13, Was #6 

Wow! Nitrous rules! Smith outran Lang, outran the field, and he's now #1 and "Last Man Standing."

Rickie Smith's incremental times: 60ft-0.992 sec., 330ft-2.624, 660ft-3.914/192.28 mph, 1,000ft-5.018.

Qualifying Round 1:

ROCKINGHAM, N.C. -
 Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Modified at the 2009 Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series, IHRA Spring Nationals presented by Advance Auto Parts and Castrol listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Tim Tindle Runs 14.714/54.37, Now #2 
Right Lane: John Russo Runs 6.073/233.96, Now #1 

3:43 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 90 degrees, relative humidity 34 percent, barometer 29.77 inches, adjusted altitude 2,867 feet, track temperature 131 degrees.

This is Tindle's IHRA debut, Quain Stott is the tuner.

Tindle had hard tire shake and lifted. Russo went right down the groove, setting a tough mark for the rest to shoot at.


Left Lane: Ralph Andreacchi Runs 8.355/88.41, Now #2 

Another IHRA debut, Al Billes the tuner on Andreacchi's '63 split-window 'Vette. It may have been planned, the car went almost to half track and he slowed, the chutes out.

Right Lane: Pete Farber Runs 6.270/214.21, Now #2 

Lots of new faces. Farber had the wheels up a long way down the track, the car steadily going to the left, but he handled it smoothly. However, something let go at the finish line and there's a long trail of "stuff" in the shutdown area.

Right Lane: Steve Vick Runs 6.133/227.00, Now #2 

Vick made a decent run, not much wasted motion.

Left Lane: Chris Russo Runs 6.120/232.87, Now #2 
Right Lane: Tim O'Hare Runs 11.769/74.52, Now #6 

Both cars shook on the launch. O'Hare threw in the towel, Russo gathered it up and stayed mostly in the groove.

Left Lane: Frederick Scriba No Time, Now #9 
Right Lane: Rickie Smith Runs 6.099/232.59, Now #2 

Scriba shook so hard he lost power, stopping before the 1,000-foot marker. Smith took the 1,400-foot route to the finish line, a snaking pass. Looks like he left a thin trail of "stuff," more track time for the scrubber.

Left Lane: Mark Nielsen Runs 12.151/80.32, Now #9 
Right Lane: Chip King Runs 6.890/219.61, Now #6 

This was ugly...Nielsen with severe shake, King not much better off. King managed to get it hooked up after pedaling a couple times.

Left Lane: Billy Gibson No Time, Now #13 
Right Lane: Burton Auxier No Time, Now #12 

Gibson did not fire, went down the return road. Auxier ahook and went "bowling for cones," taking out the half-track reflector.

Left Lane: Scotty Cannon Runs 6.102/235.06, Now #3 
Right Lane: Harold Martin Runs 6.562/179.40, Now #7 

Finally two cars went down the track - Martin slowed on the top end, looked like his car was losing power.

Left Lane: Kenny Lang Runs 6.101/236.13, Now #3 
Right Lane: Ed Hoover Runs 8.111/115.76, Now #10 

Hoover's car shook, then went into a "tankslapper," the rear tires in the air, one at a time. He lifted,. didn't hit anything. Nice pass by Lang.

Left Lane: Tommy Gray Runs 19.518/39.74, Now #16 
Right Lane: Raymond Commisso Runs 17.449/50.68, Now #15 

Synchronized tire shake and spin, followed by a long coast, a fitting end to an ugly round.

(R) Tim Savell - 4.022 et - 181.25 mph

Housley shook off the line & clicked it off. Savell was very loose on the top end & pumping the black smoke out the pipes, making a great run!

(R) John Deflorian - 6.883 et - 65.48 mph

Side by side shake for both drivers...
