ENNIS, Texas - Notes from final, round 4 qualifying in Pro Stock at the 13th annual NHRA Revell 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: Mike Thomas Runs 6.957/198.98 Now # 7, (Best prior run: 6.914/199.15 Was # 7)
Right Lane: Joel Bayless Runs 7.190/170.90 Now #30, (Best prior run: 7.416/188.79 Was #30)

3:53 PM and we roll into the final session with Rickie Smith on the bubble, at 6.948...

Right Lane: Jeg Coughlin Runs 6.952/199.37 Now # 4, (Best prior run: 6.903/199.11 Was # 4)

It's probably 20 degrees warmer than this morning, so we don't expect much shuffling on the ladder.

Right Lane: Steve Schmidt Runs 6.972/197.84 Now #13, (Best prior run: 6.942/198.67 Was #13)

Schmidt was anxious here, he had a 0.123 reaction time... not that it matters, of course.
