LAS VEGAS - Notes from final, round 4 qualifying in Funny Car at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Seventh annual ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals 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: James Day No Time, Now #24; Best prior run: 5.272/273.77, Was #24 4:47 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 85 degrees, relative humidity 14 percent, barometer 29.93 inches, adjusted altitude 1,820 feet, track temperature 97 degrees. Day hit the
throttle and he blew up something in the engine before the car traveled sixty feet. The car rolled
to a stop about 150 feet down the track. Right Lane: Bob Gilbertson Runs 8.239/130.45, Now #22; Best prior run: 4.935/301.47, Was #22 Gilbertson smoked the tires just past the tree bringing an end to his weekend. Left Lane: Terry Haddock Runs 8.750/104.59, Now #23; Best prior run: 4.952/308.14, Was #23 Right Lane: Jon Capps Runs 10.921/68.47, Now #21; Best prior run: 4.898/298.54, Was #21 Both drivers struck the tires at about 150 feet, and both drivers are going to be spectators on Sunday. Left Lane: Tim Wilkerson No Time, Now #20; Best prior run: 4.896/292.14, Was #20 Right Lane: Jim Head Runs 4.835/323.43, Now #12; Best prior run: 4.889/319.67, Was #18 Tommy Johnson Jr. is on the bump spot at 4.866. Wilkerson crept off the line at the hit, rolled to a stop at about 250 feet, and by looking at the fluids he left on the racing surface, he had a fuel delivery system failure. Head makes his best pass of the weekend to bump his way into the field for now. Left Lane: Kenny Bernstein Runs 4.844/313.88, Now #15; Best prior run: 4.896/318.92, Was #19 Right Lane: Tommy Johnson Jr. Runs 4.864/302.89, Now #18; Best prior run: 4.866/313.88, Was #17 Both cars went straight down the groove with the candles lit all the way. Bernstein's time was good enough to make the show for now and Johnson's wasn't. Kenny Bernstein's incremental
times: 60ft-0.920 sec., 330ft-2.344, 660ft-3.325/260.66mph, 1,000ft-4.139 Left Lane: Phil Burkart Runs 4.809/318.77, Now #8; Best prior run: 4.869/314.83, Was #19 Right Lane: Tony Bartone Runs 7.168/119.28, Now #18; Best prior run: 4.864/310.98, Was #17 Jerry Toliver is on the bump spot at 4.846.
