POMONA, Calif. - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro FWD at the NHRA Xplod Sport Compact Drag Racing Series, Sixth Annual Nitto Tire NHRA Sport Compact World Finals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:

---

Right Lane: Christian Rado Runs 7.650/160.29, Now #1; Best prior run: 7.685/191.16, Was #1

It sounded like Rado may have had a problem shifting into the top gear - his ET was better, his speed was quite a bit slower. Christian Rado's incremental times: 60ft-0.951 sec., 330ft-3.100, 660ft-4.821/140.37mph, 1,000ft-6.325

Left Lane: Ron Townsend Runs 7.891/191.78, Now #3; Best prior run: 7.771/193.35, Was #3
Right Lane: Gary Gardella Runs 7.902/181.96, Now #4; Best prior run: 7.858/185.23, Was #4

No joy for either team - it's warm outside, they'll get one more chance later this afternoon.

Left Lane: Ed Bergenholtz Runs 7.732/190.40, Now #2; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Marty Ladwig Runs 8.356/143.40, Now #6; No Prior Run
