By Larry Sullivan
BAYTOWN, Texas - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 25th annual O'Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals presented by Super Start Batteries listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Dave Connolly Runs 6.658/210.28, Now #1
Right Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 7.038/207.34, Now #2
3:07 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 83 degrees, relative humidity 60 percent, barometer 29.89 inches, adjusted altitude 2,524 feet, track temperature 114 degrees.
Both cars had trouble getting off the line, Connolly with a lot of tire spin, while WJ shook, then bogged.
Dave Connolly's incremental times: 60ft-1.035 sec., 330ft-2.825, 660ft-4.307/166.58 mph, 1,000ft-5.584.
Warren Johnson's incremental times: 60ft-1.125 sec., 330ft-3.125, 660ft-4.650/163.06 mph, 1,000ft-5.950.
Left Lane: Rickie Jones Runs 6.629/209.56, Now #1
Right Lane: V. Gaines Runs 7.212/207.75, Now #4
Gaines' car launched about the same as Johnson's, the car shaking and bogging. "The Tricky One" made a clean launch and he's #1, for now.

Left Lane: Chris McGaha Runs 6.663/207.82, Now #3
Right Lane: Steve Kent Runs 6.740/203.37, Now #4

Left Lane: Jeg Coughlin Runs 6.634/209.85, Now #3
Right Lane: Ronnie Humphrey Runs 6.693/209.17, Now #9
Jeg made a nice first pass, right down the groove. Humphrey had a good launch, but after that he was chasing Coughlin and losing ground.

Left Lane: Rodger Brogdon Runs 6.616/209.30, Now #1
Right Lane: Greg Stanfield Runs 6.677/206.95, Now #10
Stanfield's car was really off the pace on the top end, his speed down about 4 mph. Brogdon made a very nice run to take over as #1.
Rodger Brogdon's incremental times: 60ft-0.996 sec., 330ft-2.778, 660ft-4.261/166.46 mph, 1,000ft-5.539.

Left Lane: Erica Enders Runs 6.598/210.31, Now #2
Right Lane: Vincent Nobile Runs 6.586/210.34, Now #1
With David Connolly driving this weekend, Richie Stevens is acting as "car boss" for Enders this weekend.
Both cars made nice, straight, smooth runs to take possession of the top two spots.
Erica Enders' incremental times: 60ft-0.991 sec., 330ft-2.769, 660ft-4.250/166.85 mph, 1,000ft-5.525.

Left Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.554/211.93, Now #1
Right Lane: Mike Edwards Runs 6.599/210.37, Now #4
Two more strong runs, both in the fifties, but AJ takes over #1 and Edwards slides into the fourth spot.
Left Lane: Jason Line Runs 6.591/210.57, Now #4
Right Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 6.586/210.50, Now #2
The final two cars made nice runs, but Line misses the qualifying bonus points for this round and Anderson settled for second place, more than three hundredths behind first-place qualifier Johnson. In Pro Stock, that's an eternity.

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:

11:51 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 82 degrees, relative humidity 65 percent, barometer 29.91 inches, adjusted altitude 2,422 feet, track temperature 115 degrees.
Jeg had a bad run in the second session yesterday and missed the 12-car cutoff. Gaines has yet to make a full pass.
Both drivers had a lot of tire spin on the launch and they ran almost-identical numbers. It's too early to tell if those numbers will hold up.
Jeg Coughlin's incremental times: 60ft-1.030 sec., 330ft-2.820, 660ft-4.304/166.56 mph, 1,000ft-5.583.

Left Lane: Chris McGaha Runs 6.650/209.26, Now #13; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 6.674/209.65, Now #16; No Prior Run
Again, tire spin on the launch and 60-foot times that start with a one. cGaha had the quickest run so far, so he moves in at 13th, WJ gets temporary possession of the bump spot.
Left Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.636/208.94, Now #14; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Steve Kent Runs 6.617/210.08, Now #12; No Prior Run
