NORWALK, Ohio - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Second annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:

---

Right Lane: Larry Nance Runs 6.895/201.13, Now #1

3:54 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 85 degrees, relative humidity 55 percent, barometer 28.93 inches, adjusted altitude 3,692 feet, track temperature 124 degrees.

The original slam-dunk champion returns to the drag strip with this run, his first of the 2008 season. It was no record-setter, but it was a clean, straight pass.

---

Left Lane: Richie Stevens Runs 6.833/202.64, Now #1
Right Lane: Lee Zane Runs 8.594/112.50, Now #3

Stevens is now in the seat of Kenny Koretsky's NitroFish GXP. He made a pretty good run after losing a couple hundredths on the launch. Zane's car shook and spun the wheels, killing the run.

---

Left Lane: Kevin Lawrence Runs 6.900/189.73, Now #3
Right Lane: Jim Cunningham Runs 6.910/198.99, Now #4

---

Left Lane: Steve Spiess Runs 13.600/61.61, Now #7
Right Lane: Dave Northrop Runs 6.840/200.80, Now #2

Spiess shook and slowed. Northrop's run looked okay, but his 1.035 60-foot time appeared to be the result of some tire shake.

---

Left Lane: Vinnie Deceglie No Time, Now #9
Right Lane: Todd Hoerner No Time, Now #8

With a foot of rain on Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park over the past week, the ground is saturated and the afternoon heat is producing "weepers" in the shutdown area. These two were ready to make their burnouts when they were signaled to shut off and the Safety Safari trucks just rolled to the top end to dry things out. 4:00 p.m.

9:29 p.m. Race officials have just cancelled the rest of Friday's schedule.
