CLERMONT, Ind. - Notes from round 6 time trials in Top Fuel at the NHRA, Indianapolis Test Session Day 2 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: Ron August Jr. Runs 4.120/0.00, Now #8; Best prior run: 4.143/0.00, Was #8 6:42 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 82 degrees, relative humidity 59 percent, barometer 29.17 inches, adjusted altitude 3,238 feet, track temperature 105 degrees. Nice run by August and this one ought to handle any questions about the speed
required for licensing - he was still going 304.94 mph at the quarter-mile speed trap, in 4.845 seconds. Ron August Jr.'s
incremental times: 60ft-0.895 sec., 330ft-2.301, 660ft-3.292/256.94 mph. Left Lane: Brandon Bernstein Runs 3.891/0.00, Now #5; Best prior run: 3.989/0.00, Was #7 6:57 p.m. This run looked pretty good, but it also looked like he pushed out a head gasket around the 1,000-foot marker, with a bright green flash. Brandon Bernstein's incremental times: 60ft-0.851 sec., 330ft-2.184, 660ft-3.118/273.05 mph. Now the lanes are empty again - looks like everybody is hanging back, waiting for "happy hour." 7:45 p.m. "Last call" just went out, the staging lanes close at 8:30 p.m. Left Lane: Joe Hartley Runs 3.936/0.00, Now #8; Best prior run: 6.276/0.00, Was #10 8:05 p.m. Hartley makes his best run of the weekend, but he popped the supercharger on the top end. Joe Hartley's incremental times: 60ft-0.868 sec., 330ft-2.211, 660ft-3.151/269.29 mph. Left Lane: Doug Kalitta Runs 3.968/0.00, Now #9; Best prior run: 4.413/0.00, Was #10 8:13 p.m. We had a confirmed Doug Kalitta sighting between runs, so Doug is making a rare testing appearance - he's usually too busy running the family business. This was his best run so far - and it appeared to be a full pass. Doug Kalitta's incremental times: 60ft-0.878 sec., 330ft-2.229, 660ft-3.176/267.06 mph. Left Lane: Morgan Lucas Runs 3.896/0.00, Now #2; Best prior run: 3.865/0.00, Was #2 8:41 p.m. Nice pass - Lucas ran well past the 1,000-foot mark - it's hard to see since there is only one marker there - I won't put the quarter-mile numbers up, but they weren't too shabby. Morgan Lucas' incremental times: 60ft-0.845 sec., 330ft-2.181, 660ft-3.109/272.67 mph. Left Lane: Shawn Langdon Runs 3.913/0.00, Now #6; Best prior run: 3.898/0.00, Was #6 8:48 p.m. Langdon made a good run, but popped the supercharger at the finish line, with a very bright flash. Shawn Langdon's incremental times: 60ft-0.846 sec., 330ft-2.177, 660ft-3.115/270.64 mph. Left Lane: Clay Millican Runs 5.465/0.00, Now #4; Best prior run: 3.886/0.00, Was #4 9:00 p.m. Millican got about 300 feet, then overpowered the track. Clay Millican's incremental times: 60ft-0.872 sec., 330ft-2.247, 660ft-3.695/145.94 mph. Left Lane: Tony Schumacher Runs 3.870/0.00, Now #1; Best prior run: 3.833/0.00, Was #1 9:07 p.m. Good run, but not his best of the day.
