JOLIET, Ill. - Notes from round 1 time trials in Pro Front Wheel Drive at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Sixth annual Lucas Oil NHRA Route 66 Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:

---

Left Lane: Ed Bergenholtz Runs 9.410/151.02, Now #1
Right Lane: Bruce Mortensen Runs 11.640/148.30, Now #8

This was the first official NHRA pass for the Bergenholtz Mazda and Ed launched carefully but still carded a solid lap while Mortensen's normally Hot Rod classified Honda stumbled early in the run, picking up in the back half to record a respectable speed.

---

Left Lane: Shaun Carlson Runs 15.424/102.63, Now #0
Right Lane: Nelson Hoyos Runs 8.635/184.60, Now #1

Carlson launched quicker than Hoyos but appeared to have gearbox problems early in the run while the Cavalier sped to a stout lap at Nelson's best speed for the season.

---

Left Lane: Jerrold Rhodes Runs 13.853/67.22, Now #7

Rhodes slowed after the 330 clocks and simply cruised for the rest of the run.
