By Larry Sullivan

NORWALK, Ohio - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro Extreme Motorcycle at the American Drag Racing League, ADRL Summit Racing Equipment Ohio Drags VI presented by Mickey Thompson listing lane, rider 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: Leshon Norman Runs 4.426/152.66, Now #10; Best prior run: 16.973/0.00, Was #10
Right Lane: Dave Vantine Runs 4.071/175.07, Now #1; Best prior run: 5.585/82.92, Was #9

Because of the low turnout, the motorcycles will be running an eight-car field for eliminations.

Vantine made a career-best run, ET and speed, to take over the #1 spot. Norman improved, stayed 10th.

---

Left Lane: TT Jones Runs 4.214/165.56, Now #8; Best prior run: 4.234/164.31, Was #8
Right Lane: Paul Gast Runs 4.131/172.87, Now #2; Best prior run: 4.206/172.98, Was #7

Two nice runs and that leaves Jones on the bump spot.

---

Left Lane: Dave Norris Runs 4.158/173.52, Now #6; Best prior run: 4.153/170.47, Was #5
Right Lane: Eric McKinney Runs 4.083/171.99, Now #2; Best prior run: 4.185/150.97, Was #6

McKinney found his "game" again and made a competitive pass. Norris is consistent, butn loses a spot because of McKinney's inprovement.

---

Left Lane: Terry Schweigert Runs 4.745/109.45, Now #5; Best prior run: 4.131/168.94, Was #4
Right Lane: Carlos Wilkerson Runs 4.119/164.13, Now #3; Best prior run: 4.137/167.68, Was #5

Sounded like Schweigert had a shifter problem. Nice pass by Wilkerson to move up to the top half.
