COMMERCE, Ga. - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 23rd annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals presented by Pontiac listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run: Right Lane: Chris Garner Runs 7.550/187.44, Now #1 2:57 PM It's 82 degrees, 42 percent relative humidity, the barometer 29.88 inches, the track temperature 118 degrees, under partly cloudy skies. Garner just completed his
licensing runs Monday, at Bristol. He was well off the competitive pace all the way. Left Lane: Tim Freeman Runs 7.672/140.77, Now #3 Right Lane: Tom Lee Runs 7.017/197.71, Now #1 Lee is shaking down the new Stratus Darrell Alderman will be driving. Left Lane: Dave Northrop Runs 6.993/198.12, Now #1 Right Lane: Ray Franks Runs 7.073/195.42, Now #3 Another new driver, Northrop a veteran driver, new to Pro Stock. Left Lane: Fernando Cuadra Runs 7.026/197.83, Now #3 Right Lane: Nick Fratt Runs 7.264/193.71, Now #5 Left Lane: Ben Watson Runs 6.983/197.77, Now #1 Right Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 7.048/196.44, Now #5 Right now there's a stiff wind blowing pretty much in the drivers' faces. Watson's car was very loose, but he stayed with it. Left Lane: Mike Thomas Runs 7.015/197.02, Now #4 Right Lane: George Marnell Runs 6.956/199.40, Now #1 Marnell has been struggling with his new Grand Am this year, so this solid first pass should make him happy, especially in a strong headwind. Left Lane: JR Carr Runs 6.970/198.15, Now #2 Right Lane: Gene Wilson Runs 7.035/197.45, Now #8 Wilson was quicker to 60 feet, then started losing ground. Left Lane: Tom Martino Runs 7.036/196.90, Now #9 Right Lane: Barry Grant Runs 20.185/37.13, Now #15 Martino is running Bob Benza's Grand Am this weekend. Grant launched and slowed almost immediately, probably shake. Left Lane: Taylor Lastor Runs 6.934/199.37, Now #1 Right Lane: Terry Adams Runs 6.967/196.47, Now #3 Lastor made believers out of a bunch of people last weekend and he shows that it wasn't a one-race fluke with a great out-of-the-box pass here. Let's see, Maskin horsepower and a talented driver...nice opening pass by Adams in the second Barry Grant ca, too. Left Lane: Greg Stanfield Runs 6.978/198.52, Now #6 Right Lane: Jim Yates Runs 6.944/198.61, Now #2 Yates starts off with a good run, now he needs to build on it tonight. Left Lane: Troy Coughlin Runs 10.323/88.31, Now #20 Right Lane: Mark Whisnant Runs 6.950/198.38, Now #3 Troy's car shook and danced. Nice run by Whisnant. With the stiff headwind, the chutes are really sailing when they come out, hopefully everyone will keep all four wheels on the ground in the shutdown area. Left Lane: Mark Pawuk Runs 6.925/199.79, Now #1 Right Lane: V. Gaines Runs 7.002/197.02, Now #11 Nice run Cowboy!! Pawuk got through the top half a little quicker than the rest. Left Lane: Darrell Alderman Runs 6.986/198.41, Now #11 Right Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.943/200.05, Now #3 AJ made a nice first pass... Left Lane: Mike Edwards Runs 6.962/198.67, Now #8 Right Lane: Ron Krisher Runs 6.936/199.11, Now #3 Two more solid runs, still no 200s except Allen Johnson. Left Lane: Scott Geoffrion Runs 6.939/199.55, Now #5 Right Lane: Bruce Allen Runs 6.925/198.79, Now #2 Allen's car made a big wiggle 100 feet out and he still made a great pass off a 1.009 60-foot time. Left Lane: Jeg Coughlin Runs 6.897/199.40, Now #1 Right Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 6.936/199.02, Now #6 Nice run by Jeg, our only eighty so far. Left Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 6.901/201.16, Now #2 Right Lane: Kurt Johnson Runs 6.908/200.89, Now #3 Nice runs, but still only one "eighty" in the round.
