By Rick Green





KENT, Wash. - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Top Fuel at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 23rd annual NHRA Northwest 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: Steve Torrence Runs 4.538/251.44, Now #10; Best prior run: 9.121/77.56, Was #13
Right Lane: Terry Haddock Runs 6.588/101.90, Now #14; No Prior Run

Weather conditions: air temperature 92 degrees, relative humidity 29 percent, barometer 29.59 inches, adjusted altitude 3,105 feet, track temperature 118 degrees.

Haddock is making his first pass of the weekend. He starts to lose traction early and clicks it off. Torrence starts to lose traction and gets off the throttle and waits and then hits the throttle again. That will get him in the top 12 for now... Steve Torrence's incremental times: 60ft-0.846 sec., 330ft-2.220, 660ft-3.545/192.77 mph.
