As soon as Clay Millican heard his 1,000-foot elapsed time Friday night, he knew it wasn't good
enough. Ten more Top Fuel cars were queued up, preparing for their second qualifying runs on a
cold, windy night at Infineon Raceway.
Millican stopped the timer in 3.908 seconds at 310.48 mph on his final run, "but we were hoping to
run in the 3.80s," he said. "There were a lot of good cars waiting to make their runs." and most
of them were good ones.
He was fourth when the LifeLockracing.com dragster's time flashed on the scoreboard, but he was
11th by the time the second session of the FRAM-Autolite Nationals concluded.
"Our car went down the race track in probably some of the best conditions we've seen in a long
time," Millican added. "We weren't looking to end up 11th. It was definitely a good session.
"The bad news is that with warmer weather in the forecast for Saturday, it is going to be tough to
improve. I guess we'll just have to hope it gets real hot."
Two more runs will set the starting line-up for Sunday's eliminations.
