By Dave Rowe

LAS VEGAS - Notes from final, round 4 qualifying in Pro Stock Bike at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Third annual ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals listing lane, rider 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: Kurt Matte Runs 7.797/166.54, Now #29; Best prior run: 7.750/172.45, Was #29
Right Lane: Michael Lozano Runs 7.831/173.14, Now #30; Best prior run: 7.808/162.96, Was #30

3:44 PM Current weather conditions: 81 degrees, 6 percent relative humidity, the barometer 30.21 inches.

We probably won't see much movement this session, the track is hot and the wind has picked up. Matte and Lozano aren't in the show.....and they don't make it on this pass.

Left Lane: Kenneth Martin Runs 7.665/171.18, Now #28; Best prior run: 7.728/169.02, Was #28
Right Lane: Cary Phalen Runs 7.446/176.58, Now #20; Best prior run: 7.581/173.41, Was #26

Phalen improves but not enough to get in the show. No help for Martin.

Left Lane: Sam Hurwitz Runs 7.613/172.78, Now #27; Best prior run: 7.591/180.36, Was #27
Right Lane: Jerry Jankanish Runs 7.597/173.49, Now #25; Best prior run: 7.524/176.97, Was #25

No help for either rider.

Left Lane: Lloyd Straus Runs 7.592/174.96, Now #26; Best prior run: 7.571/170.02, Was #26
Right Lane: Redell Harris Runs 7.553/176.14, Now #23; Best prior run: 7.508/173.54, Was #23

Clean runs for both drivers but neither get in the show.

Left Lane: Keith Freeman No Time, Now #24; Best prior run: 7.511/182.62, Was #24
Right Lane: Chris Reuter No Time, Now #22; Best prior run: 7.478/176.72, Was #22

Reuter crosses the center-line and takes out the ET cone, neither run will count.

Left Lane: Antron Brown Runs 7.347/185.56, Now #12; Best prior run: 7.383/175.39, Was #17
Right Lane: Ryan Schnitz Runs 7.610/174.57, Now #21; Best prior run: 7.463/178.68, Was #21

Brown goes right down the groove and gets in the show, bumping out Steve Johnson.

Left Lane: Steve Johnson Runs 7.386/181.06, Now #17; Best prior run: 7.380/178.99, Was #17
Right Lane: Fred Camarena Runs 7.441/178.38, Now #19; Best prior run: 7.407/176.93, Was #19

Johnson was just bumped out of the show, Camarena isn't in. Johnson slows from yesterday and will not be racing tomorrow. No help for Camarena.

Left Lane: Joe DeSantis Runs 7.393/179.73, Now #16; Best prior run: 7.378/179.80, Was #16
Right Lane: Blaine Hale Runs 7.405/182.82, Now #18; Best prior run: 7.406/178.99, Was #18

DeSantis is on the bump, Hale is on the outside looking in. Both riders make decent passes but neither improves.

Left Lane: Sean Conner Runs 7.343/179.85, Now #12; Best prior run: 7.375/178.99, Was #15
Right Lane: Jay Matthews Runs 7.360/179.42, Now #14; Best prior run: 7.362/180.89, Was #13

Conner has a great sixty-foot time, a 1.086, and he moves up a few spots to 12th. Matthews improves slightly but drops one in the order.

Left Lane: Josh Helvie Runs 7.432/174.17, Now #15; Best prior run: 7.368/178.28, Was #15

Stoffer had a great sixty-foot time, a 1.094, but got out of the groove, made a move toward the center-line and had to shut down. Scali makes a big move in the heat and moves up to the third spot.

Left Lane: Mike Berry Runs 7.337/181.47, Now #6; Best prior run: 7.286/183.44, Was #6
Right Lane: Fred Collis Runs 7.476/179.83, Now #7; Best prior run: 7.295/180.74, Was #7

Right Lane: Reggie Showers Runs 7.369/183.22, Now #5; Best prior run: 7.277/181.30, Was #5

Savoie gets out of the groove, veers toward the center-line, then shuts down. Showers makes a clean, straight pass but doesn't improve.

Left Lane: Craig Treble Runs 7.261/185.72, Now #1; Best prior run: 7.246/182.82, Was #1
Right Lane: Andrew Hines Runs 7.273/184.37, Now #4; Best prior run: 7.260/187.55, Was #4
