This is Bradshaw's second #1 qualifier in a row, hoping to beat the #1-qualifier jinx. He won here in TAD in '02 and '03.
Erbacher is making his fourth start in Top Fuel. This is the first time Erbacher and Bradshaw have faced each other in
eliminations. Bradshaw went red by two thousandths of a second and the jinx is intact. Erbacher gets the round win, but he also
gets penalized for his third oildown of the event, his fifth of the year, the engine letting go on the top half of the run. He
advances, won't have lane choice against Kalitta in round two. The oildown will cost Erbacher $4,000 and 15 points. Oh yeah, that's
five winners from the bottom half in the first six pairs. |
