Sunny, hot conditions created a tricky racing surface Saturday and Millican did not improve his
Friday night qualifying best of 3.908 seconds at 31048 mph. But he wasn't the only. None of the
top 12 qualifiers ran quicker elapsed times Saturday. Langdon was sixth quickest and 3.875, 309.20
mph.
Crew chief Lance Larsen was looking for a combination that would make the LifeLockracing.com Top
Fuel dragster run more aggressively on both runs, but the car smoked the tires in the opening
1,000-foot lap and shook the tires on the last one.
"We used those runs to try and get the car to run quicker than what we normally do," said Millican.
"And we learned what not to do, so we'll approach it a different way Sunday. Weather conditions
will make a difference because we don't know if the morning clouds we had Friday and Saturday will
be back on Sunday. They burned off both days about 11 a.m. That's when the track conditions start
to change and it's the time eliminations start."
