Two of the best in the country squared off here, but the race was over quickly.
Howard's car was once again shaking hard, back on the wheelie bars with the front
wheels in the air, then nosed over sharply, something apparently breaking. Buff
sailed right down the groove on a smooth, clean run to earn lane choice against
Stark in the final round.NHRA: 10 Most Recent Entries [ top ] Oct 17- DALLAS - Friday Wrap Up Oct 16- DALLAS - Top Fuel Qualifying, Session #2 Bonus Points Oct 16- DALLAS - Funny Car Qualifying, Session #2 Bonus Points Oct 16- DALLAS - Top Fuel Qualifying, Session #2 Order Oct 16- DALLAS - Top Fuel Qualifying Notes, Session #2 Oct 16- DALLAS - Funny Car Qualifying, Session #2 Order Oct 16- DALLAS - Funny Car Qualifying Notes, Session #2 Oct 16- DALLAS - Top Fuel Qualifying, Session #1 Bonus Points Oct 16- DALLAS - Outlaw Street Qualifying, Session #1 Order Oct 16- DALLAS - Funny Car Qualifying, Session #1 Bonus Points |
