Fri, 20 Oct 2000, 03:26 PM Rain Delays Friday Qualifying

By Larry Sullivan

ENNIS, Texas - 1:10 PM - "Scattered rain showers." Right now they are scattering on the Texas Motorplex, delaying qualifying for the 15th annual O'Reilly Fall Nationals presented by Pennzoil.

Light rain began falling just as the final Federal-Mogul Dragster was ready to fire its engine. Waiting in the lanes was a full field of Federal-Mogul Funny Cars, with Pro Stock Truck scheduled to follow to open the first Pro qualifying session.

It's been raining for about 30 minutes now and shows no sign of letting up, though the weather radar shows the area of precipitation slowly moving eastward. When it does stop, track drying will take at least an hour, probably more, so we're down for at least that long.
