COMMERCE, Ga. - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 29th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern 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: Left Lane: Mike Edwards Runs 6.578/210.11, Now #2; Best prior run: 12.406/63.37, Was #21 5:02 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 74 degrees, relative humidity 27 percent, barometer 29.47 inches, adjusted altitude 1,873 feet, track temperature 101 degrees. The motorcycles just tore up the track record book, their four-wheeled brethren will probably do the same. Ron Krisher is on the bump spot at 6.658, you can expect that to change as soon as Edwards reaches the other end of the track Edwards shook hard on his first try today. THis time he got smoothly off the starting line and
almost went to the #1 spot on a nice run. Mike Edwards' incremental times: 60ft-0.974 sec., 330ft-2.748, 660ft-4.230/166.64 mph,
1,000ft-5.504. Left Lane: Rickie Jones Runs 6.630/208.59, Now #10; Best prior run: 10.961/80.81, Was #21 Right Lane: John Gaydosh Jr Runs 6.763/203.89, Now #20; Best prior run: 6.864/203.58, Was #20 Jones also shook on his first try today. Both cars went right down the track this time around, but Gaydosh didn't have the muscle to move up the ladder. Jones did, but probably won't stay in the top twelve through this session. Justin Humphreys is now on the bump spot at 6.648. Left Lane: Erica Enders Runs 6.723/204.63, Now #19; Best prior run: 6.765/203.71, Was #21 Right Lane: Tom Hammonds Runs 6.625/208.65, Now #8; Best prior run: 6.663/206.45, Was #16 Nice run by Hammonds, we'll have to wait to see if it holds up. Now Kurt Johnson is on the bump spot at 6.632. Left Lane: Dave Northrop Runs 6.659/207.62, Now #16; Best prior run: 6.751/205.91, Was #20 Right Lane: Rodger Brogdon Runs 8.103/121.87, Now #17; Best prior run: 6.661/208.04, Was #16 Northrop's car did a dance on the launch, he still ran a career-best ET. Brogdon slowed before half track, could not see why. Left Lane: Ronnie Humphrey Runs 6.718/208.71, Now #19; Best prior run: 6.670/207.56, Was #19 Right Lane: Justin Humphreys Runs 6.645/207.62, Now #13; Best prior run: 6.648/207.66, Was #13 Both cars got a do-over on staging, not sure exactly what happened. Humphrey failed to improve, Humphreys improved slightly, stayed 13th and will have to start over tomorrow. Left Lane: V. Gaines Runs 6.625/208.26, Now #9; Best prior run: 6.669/206.83, Was #18 Right Lane: Kurt Johnson Runs 11.798/81.30, Now #13; Best prior run: 6.632/209.10, Was #12 KJ's car made a hard move, almost collected the wall. Gaines made a good run, bumped KJ from the 12-car field. Left Lane: Ron Krisher Runs 6.629/209.46, Now #12; Best prior run: 6.658/209.30, Was #16 Right Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.613/208.78, Now #7; Best prior run: 6.629/208.71, Was #11 Both improved, Krisher is now on the bump spot. Left Lane: Steve Spiess Runs 6.639/208.55, Now #15; Best prior run: 6.656/207.66, Was #16 Right Lane: Greg Stanfield Runs 6.599/209.75, Now #3; Best prior run: 6.617/209.43, Was #8 Spiess is the only driver with a chance to bump Krisher from the field. Nope. Stanfield, however, ran a career-best
speed enroute to the third spot on the list. Left Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 6.615/210.14, Now #9; Best prior run: 6.628/209.98, Was #11 Right Lane: Jason Line Runs 6.582/210.70, Now #3; Best prior run: 6.600/210.05, Was #5 WJ showed a lot of power and a huge speed last round, but was among the slowest over the first 60 feet. Line was third-quickest last round. This time WJ posted a nice 0.988 60-foot time, improved his ET, but didn't make it into the top half.
Line made a nice run, moved back into third spot. Left Lane: Jeg Coughlin Runs 6.610/209.85, Now #7; Best prior run: 6.613/209.72, Was #7 Right Lane: Johnny Gray Runs 12.244/71.13, Now #5; Best prior run: 6.599/209.14, Was #5 Gray's car shook and danced, hs lifted. Coughlin picked up a few thousandths, stayed seventh. Left Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.588/209.85, Now #4; Best prior run: 6.607/208.78, Was #6 Right Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 6.568/210.77, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.574/210.93, Was #1 Last pair of the session, Anderson hanging on to low ET and top speed so far. Well, AJ made a good run, fourth best of
the day, but Anderson stepped up with another track ET record and goes into Saturday solidly atop the list. Greg Anderson's
incremental times: 60ft-0.978 sec., 330ft-2.750, 660ft-4.227/167.68 mph, 1,000ft-5.497.
