By Larry Sullivan

NORWALK, Ohio - Notes from final, round 4 qualifying in Mickey Thompson Extreme 10.5 at the American Drag Racing League, ADRL Summit Racing Equipment Ohio Drags VI presented by Mickey Thompson 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: Nick Jackson Runs 4.372/176.14, Now #3; Best prior run: 4.302/176.97, Was #3
Right Lane: Alan Pittman Runs 3.922/196.47, Now #1; Best prior run: 3.911/197.31, Was #1

12:32 p.m. Pittman has a commanding lead over Billy Glidden in the championship points. This run shows how he got there, the car made a very quick run (just a hundredth slower than his best) and it looked effortless.

---

Left Lane: Dan Myers Runs 4.224/195.73, Now #3; Best prior run: 4.463/185.61, Was #4
Right Lane: Billy Glidden Runs 6.753/67.90, Now #2; Best prior run: 3.923/188.96, Was #2

The short car count here works against Glidden in the points chase - not enough rounds to catch up with Pittman.

Myers made his best run of the event, by a quarter of a second, to move up one spot and set up a first-round match with Pittman.

Glidden's car got twitchy early in the run and he lifted.
