EARLVILLE, Iowa -- The first rounds of qualifying at the NHRA Federal-Mogul Drag Racing Series event presented by Winnebago at Tri-State Raceway were delayed for three-and-a-half hours by rain. However, when the track was dry qualifying and time trials proceeded unabated until just before the Federal-Mogul Dragster and Funny Car qualifying sessions. That's when heavy rains put an end to the day's activities.
