By Darryl Jackman

LAS VEGAS - Notes from round 1 time trials in Top Fuel at the NHRA, Las Vegas Test listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:

---

Left Lane: Brandon Bernstein Runs 12.256/71.40, Now #1

Brandon had an .883 60ft number, followed by shake and smoke.

---

Left Lane: Tony Schumacher Runs 4.541/327.03, Now #1

Schumacher gets the full ride on this shot. Low ET and top speed early on.

---

Left Lane: Brandon Bernstein Runs 9.427/80.32, Now #2

1:39 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 73 degrees, relative humidity 23 percent, barometer 29.54 inches.

Brandon got off the starting line ok but it was after half track things went sour. Brandon Bernstein's incremental times: 60ft-0.867 sec., 330ft-2.378, 660ft-4.335/106.08mph, 1,000ft-6.833

---

Left Lane: Tony Schumacher Runs 5.973/146.51, Now #1

That sounded ugly. The engine lugged down around half track and Schumacher clicked it early.

---

Left Lane: Tony Schumacher Runs 9.192/84.77, Now #1

This shot got to about 150ft under power. A hole in the left bank went out and the shake set in at that point.

---

Left Lane: Brandon Bernstein Runs 4.592/324.98, Now #2

That's the first full pass for the 'Great White' Bud racer.
