No bump
spot. I don't have any info on Stevens DQ in the first session. We only have the announces input

Left Lane: Dale Giroux Runs 7.073/193.82/-0.547, Now #4; B/AA Index: 7.62, Prior Best: 7.052/194.02/-0.568, Was #4 Right Lane: Jim Warter Runs 8.954/151.63/-0.296, Now #15; H/A Index: 9.25, Prior Best: 8.877/151.94/-0.373, Was #15 7:02 p.m. All the clean up is done and we are back to qualifying. That's enough drama for one day. Two clean passes, but no improvements in the warmer weather conditions. They will stay #4 and #15 today. Left Lane: Frank Nelson Runs 8.103/186.43/0.993, Now #20; A/A Index: 7.11, Prior Best: 7.837/185.46/0.727, Was #20 Right Lane: Bob Marshall Runs 7.109/190.92/-0.511, Now #8; B/AA Index: 7.62, Prior Best: 7.116/182.33/-0.504, Was #8 Nelson slows a little, Marshall improves a little, but both cars stay in their current positions for now.

The dragster gets loose off the line, after a hard 1.055 leave, and he has to lift.
