Pro Stock Qualifying Notes, Session #1
By Larry Sullivan
CLERMONT, Ind. - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 57th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Chris McGaha Runs 12.888/67.29, Now #1
Right Lane: Grace Howell Runs 15.763/52.80, Now #2
6:11 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 96 degrees, relative humidity 35 percent, barometer 29.04 inches, adjusted altitude 4,138 feet, track temperature 124 degrees.
These are new Pro Stock drivers, but they are also both very experienced Sportsman competitors, despite their relatively young ages.
Maybe it was planned, maybe both had early tire shake problems, but they left together and then shut off after 200 feet or so.
Left Lane: Paul Pittman Runs 6.847/201.58, Now #1
Right Lane: Kevin Lawrence No Time, Now #4
Pittman's background is with "real horsepower," the four-legged kind. Lawrence got as far as the water, shut it off. Pittman made what looked like a full pass (tough to tell from here).
Left Lane: Steve Schmidt Runs 6.775/204.11, Now #1
Right Lane: Dave River Runs 6.911/199.43, Now #3
Looked like two more full passes, no visible problems.
Left Lane: Mark Hogan No Time, Now #8
Right Lane: Mark Martino Runs 6.736/205.98, Now #1
Hogan got as far as the water, left by way of the short chute.
Left Lane: Frank Gugliotta Runs 6.842/202.67, Now #4
Right Lane: Steve Spiess Runs 6.790/203.92, Now #3
Gugliotta is debuting his new '11 Mustang here. Both drivers have lots of experience in the 'mountain-motored" variety Pro Stocks, both are getting their "stripes" with the 500-inch variety.
Two full passes, don't know how good just yet, it's hot and nasty out there.
Left Lane: Bob Benza Runs 13.665/62.78, Now #9
Right Lane: Buddy Perkinson Runs 6.801/205.60, Now #4
Perkinson is making his debut with Larry Morgan power.
Benza launched, shook, and lifted. Good run by perkinson for the conditions.
Left Lane: Steve Kent Runs 23.094/33.36, Now #12
Right Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 7.652/200.80, Now #8
kent shook immediately and coasted through. Lots of tire shake by WJ.
Left Lane: Kurt Johnson Runs 10.328/163.99, Now #10
Right Lane: V. Gaines Runs 6.679/207.24, Now #1
KJ shook and slowed. Gaines made the best run so far and he's #1 for now.
Left Lane: Ronnie Humphrey Runs 6.710/206.42, Now #2
Right Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.714/205.79, Now #3
Two solid runs here, but Gaines remains atop the list.
Left Lane: Ron Krisher Runs 15.713/53.51, Now #16
Right Lane: Shane Gray Runs 6.716/206.13, Now #4
Krisher shook and headed for the centerline, so he clicked it off.Gray made a clean pass, now he's #4.
Left Lane: Greg Stanfield Runs 6.706/206.54, Now #2
Right Lane: Rodger Brogdon Runs 12.547/69.43, Now #15
Right now, it appears the left lane is the lane of choice. Brogdon got about 100 feet out in the right lane, then the car made a sharp left turn and he had to lift quickly to save it. Meanwhile, Stanfield made a nice run down the left lane to move into the #2 spot.
Left Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.707/207.72, Now #4
Right Lane: Erica Enders Runs 6.703/206.07, Now #2
It's not the lane. Enders went right down the groove with just a tiny wiggle about 100 feet out. AJ also made a nice, straight run, got there second, but with a higher speed.
Left Lane: Vincent Nobile Runs 6.673/207.66, Now #2
Right Lane: Mike Edwards Runs 6.657/208.04, Now #1
Gaines was still #1 when these two launched, #3 when they crossed the stripe. Two solid runs, quick and straight and fast.
Vincent Nobile's incremental times: 60ft-1.004 sec., 330ft-2.798, 660ft-4.296/164.63 mph, 1,000ft-5.587.
Mike Edwards' incremental times: 60ft-0.999 sec., 330ft-2.791, 660ft-4.286/164.95 mph, 1,000ft-5.573.
Left Lane: Jason Line Runs 6.650/207.62, Now #2
Right Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 6.650/208.04, Now #1
The Summit Team closed out a troubled session, the weather and track conditions challenging most of the teams. They showed why they are atop the points with a pair of almost-flawless runs for the conditions to take over the top two spots. They ran identical ETs, Anderson #1 by speed.
Jason Line's incremental times: 60ft-0.994 sec., 330ft-2.785, 660ft-4.277/165.09 mph, 1,000ft-5.564.
Greg Anderson's incremental times: 60ft-1.002 sec., 330ft-2.790, 660ft-4.280/165.42 mph, 1,000ft-5.566.
After one hot, slick session, it's Anderson #1 and Mark Martino is on the bump spot at 6.736.

Right Lane: Shane Gray Runs 6.709/206.23, Now #9; Best prior run: 6.716/206.13, Was #11
Identical 1.105 60-foot times, but Schmidt could not stay with Gray after that, Gray making the quickest run of the round so far.
Left Lane: Ronnie Humphrey Runs 6.699/207.24, Now #6; Best prior run: 6.710/206.42, Was #10
Right Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.719/205.79, Now #11; Best prior run: 6.714/205.79, Was #11

Left Lane: Jason Line Runs 6.668/208.07, Now #2; Best prior run: 6.650/207.62, Was #2
Right Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 6.647/208.23, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.650/208.04, Was #1
Last pair. They ran identical ETs yesterday, probably won't improve in this session because of the conditions.
So much for predicting things...Line made a good run, but Anderson not only ran the best run of the session, he ran the best of the weekend, low ET and top speed! He did say yesterday that he left a bit on the starting line with tire spin, looked like he got off the line better today.
Greg Anderson's incremental times: 60ft-1.001 sec., 330ft-2.789, 660ft-4.279/165.40 mph, 1,000ft-5.564.

Pro Stock Qualifying Notes, Session #3
By Larry Sullivan
CLERMONT, Ind. - Notes from round 3 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 57th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil 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: Grace Howell Runs 7.354/149.23, Now #28; Best prior run: 8.584/112.32, Was #28
Right Lane: Paul Pittman Runs 6.795/202.45, Now #23; Best prior run: 6.847/201.58, Was #25
7:35 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 90 degrees, relative humidity 43 percent, barometer 28.93 inches, adjusted altitude 3,923 feet, track temperature 104 degrees.
Kurt Johnson is on the bump spot at 6.717.
These are the best conditions we've had so far, so look for the 12-car field to shuffle several times this round.
Howell's car went left again and she had to tiptoe along the wall to keep from scraping the paint off.
Left Lane: Dave River Runs 7.693/128.58, Now #26; Best prior run: 6.911/199.43, Was #26
Right Lane: Mark Hogan Runs 9.165/102.08, Now #25; Best prior run: 6.819/203.22, Was #25
Hogan's car wagged its tail a couple times and he shut it down. River got further down the track, did the same.
Left Lane: Kevin Lawrence Runs 6.864/201.46, Now #26; Best prior run: 6.941/199.23, Was #27

Pro Stock Qualifying Notes, Session #4
By Larry Sullivan
CLERMONT, Ind. - Notes from round 4 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 57th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil 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: Mark Hogan Runs 6.777/204.76, Now #13; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Grace Howell Runs 12.942/66.17, Now #14; No Prior Run
11:13 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 74 degrees, relative humidity 70 percent, barometer 28.97 inches, adjusted altitude 2,946 feet, track temperature 93 degrees.
Since the field goes from 12 to 16 and everybody lower than 12 yesterday gets to start over today, these two are in the field (briefly). Howell once again shuts down quickly, Hogan makes a full pass.
Left Lane: Paul Pittman Runs 14.570/57.66, Now #16; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Kevin Lawrence Runs 6.887/200.92, Now #14; No Prior Run
Pittman shook and shut off quickly. Lawrence made a full pass. Now we have a bump time and the games begin.
Left Lane: Steve Schmidt Runs 9.600/81.01, Now #16; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Steve Spiess Runs 6.712/204.11, Now #13; No Prior Run
Schmidt slowed before going 300 feet. Spiess made a full pass, but that time won't hold up. Then the "over-the-wall" gang took a close look at Schmidt's lane and picked up some small pieces.
Left Lane: Bob Benza Runs 6.726/204.63, Now #15; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Buddy Perkinson Runs 6.698/206.70, Now #13; No Prior Run

Right Lane: Shane Gray Runs 6.690/206.26, Now #13; No Prior Run
McGaha shut off almost immediately with tire shake. Gray made a good run, don't know if it will hold up.
Left Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.643/207.91, Now #3; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.688/206.16, Now #14; No Prior Run
Bob Benza was on the bump spot at 6.726. These two figured to be able to beat that...and they did, AJ running low ET of the round so far, puts him third overall. Morgan slips into fourteenth, that may not stand up. Now Buddy Perkinson is on the bump spot at 6.698.
Left Lane: Steve Kent Runs 6.714/206.26, Now #13; Best prior run: 6.685/206.51, Was #13
Right Lane: Mark Martino Runs 6.686/206.51, Now #14; No Prior Run
Kent was already in the field, Martino was quicker than the current bump time yesterday, but below the provisional line.

Right Lane: Warren Johnson Runs 6.707/206.70, Now #18; No Prior Run
Stanfield was already in, WJ did not make the cut yesterday and his best time yesterday was slower than the current bump time.

Right Lane: Rodger Brogdon Runs 6.660/207.15, Now #6; Best prior run: 6.678/206.45, Was #12
The remaining cars are already in the field. Dave River and Frank Gugliotta should have run before now, apparently won't be out in this round. We understand River is done, broke his only engine yesterday. Don't know about Gugliotta.
Nice run by Brogdon to move to the top half.
Left Lane: Vincent Nobile Runs 6.634/208.17, Now #3; Best prior run: 6.666/207.21, Was #10

Right Lane: Erica Enders Runs 6.645/207.43, Now #7; Best prior run: 6.651/207.30, Was #6

Right Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 6.623/208.55, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.629/208.01, Was #2
Anderson has made the quickest run in all three prior qualifying sessions, but Edwards just threw down the gauntlet. The Summit duo was up to the challenge, however, Anderson taking the top spot back and Line tying DEdwards' ET. Edwards gets the #2 spot on speed.
Jason Line's incremental times: 60ft-0.988 sec., 330ft-2.768, 660ft-4.257/165.21 mph, 1,000ft-5.542.

Right Lane: Ron Krisher Runs 10.357/86.97, Now #12; Best prior run: 6.662/207.72, Was #11

These two were locked together for the first 330 feet, then AJ pulled away and moved up to the second spot - again, for now. Brogdon moved into the top half of the field, pushing KJ into the bottom half.
Left Lane: Erica Enders Runs 6.656/207.21, Now #8; Best prior run: 6.645/207.43, Was #8
Right Lane: Ronnie Humphrey Runs 6.630/207.88, Now #5; Best prior run: 6.637/207.53, Was #6

Right Lane: Vincent Nobile Runs 6.633/208.42, Now #6; Best prior run: 6.634/208.17, Was #6

Right Lane: Jason Line Runs 6.603/209.01, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.624/208.26, Was #4
Once again Edwards threw down the gauntlet and once again Anderson was trying to be the quickest of the session to sweep the qualifying bonus points for the event.
Well, Anderson outran Edwards, by three thousandths. However, while we were all admiring Anderson's scoreboard, the realization came that his teammate, Line, had stolen the moment with the quickest and fastest run of the weekend.
Jason Line's incremental times: 60ft-0.981 sec., 330ft-2.759, 660ft-4.244/165.80 mph, 1,000ft-5.524.

(L) V. Gaines (Kendall Oil Avenger) 0.032 6.598 209.23
Brogdon is 2 - 1 against Gaines in prior events.
Brogdon was away first and Gaines' car was very loose early in the run. Brogdon won handily with low ET of the weekend and it's a track record (for now).
(W) Ronnie Humphrey (Genuine Hot Rod Hardware G 0.062 6.692 191.13
(L) Ron Krisher (Valvoline GXP) 0.135 7.071 160.06
Humphrey trails Krisher by 41 points for the final Countdown position - more than two rounds. Humphrey and Krisher have each won 2 times against the other in prior events.
Humphrey nailed Krisher to the tree and narrowed the gap to 21 points - still a challenge, but he can still earn points, Krisher cannot.
Weather conditions: air temperature 66 degrees, relative humidity 46 percent, barometer 29.09 inches, adjusted altitude 1,922 feet, track temperature 81 degrees.
(W) Allen Johnson (Mopar/J & J Racing Avenger) 0.017 6.589 209.39
(L) Greg Stanfield (Nitrofish GXP) 0.037 6.623 208.39

(L) Mark Martino (Desantis Crane Service GXP) 0.106 6.595 207.78
Anderson has won this event five times so far and was the dominant car in four of the five qualifying sessions. This is the first time Anderson and Martino have faced each other in eliminations.
Martino was late, Anderson was not, then he ran low ET and top speed of the meet - both are track records.
Greg Anderson's incremental times: 60ft-0.985 sec., 330ft-2.746, 660ft-4.215/167.53 mph, 1,000ft-5.480. Anderson will have lane choice against Brogdon next round, quickest against second-quickest.

(L) Buddy Perkinson (Wealth Mgt Strategies/AXA -0.023(R) 13.280 62.32

(L) Chris McGaha (Elite Motorsports GXP) 0.022 13.099 64.81
This is not only McGaha's first-ever Indy in Pro Stock, it's his first-ever race in Pro Stock. He is also still in competition in Competition Eliminator. That makes young rookie Nobile the Pro Stock veteran of these two.McGaha's car shook and headed for the wall on the launch and that was a break for Nobile because the usually-quick-leaving Nobile was second off the line. He will not have lane choice when he faces Edwards in round two.

Humphrey nailed Krisher to the tree and narrowed the gap to 21 points - still a challenge, but he can still earn points, Krisher cannot.
Weather conditions: air temperature 66 degrees, relative humidity 46 percent, barometer 29.09 inches, adjusted altitude 1,922 feet, track temperature 81 degrees.
(W) Allen Johnson (Mopar/J & J Racing Avenger) 0.017 6.589 209.39
(L) Greg Stanfield (Nitrofish GXP) 0.037 6.623 208.39
Johnson is 13 - 7 against Stanfield in prior events. Stanfield is the defending event champion.
Johnson was away first and steadily pulled away for the win. He races Humphrey in round two and will have lane choice.
(W) Greg Anderson (Summit Racing Equipment GXP) 0.038 6.547 211.03
(L) Mark Martino (Desantis Crane Service GXP) 0.106 6.595 207.78
Anderson has won this event five times so far and was the dominant car in four of the five qualifying sessions. This is the first time Anderson and Martino have faced each other in eliminations.
Martino was late, Anderson was not, then he ran low ET and top speed of the meet - both are track records.
Greg Anderson's incremental times: 60ft-0.985 sec., 330ft-2.746, 660ft-4.215/167.53 mph, 1,000ft-5.480. Anderson will have lane choice against Brogdon next round, quickest against second-quickest.
(W) Mike Edwards (Penhall/K&N/Interstae GXP) 0.088 6.555 210.37
(L) Shane Gray (Service Central GXP) 0.018 6.635 207.78
Edwards is 3 - 1 against Gray in prior events, won this event in '98.
Gray had a seven hundredths edge at the green and Edwards still ran him down, running the second-quickest ET of the round.
(W) Jason Line (Summit Racing Equipment GXP) 0.049 6.558 210.73
(L) Buddy Perkinson (Wealth Mgt Strategies/AXA -0.023(R) 13.280 62.32
This is the first time Line and Perkinson have faced each other in eliminations.
Perkinson went red, Line ran the third-quickest time of the round, will have lane choice against Enders in round two.
(W) Vincent Nobile (Mountainview Tire Avenger) 0.048 6.583 209.85
(L) Chris McGaha (Elite Motorsports GXP) 0.022 13.099 64.81
This is not only McGaha's first-ever Indy in Pro Stock, it's his first-ever race in Pro Stock. He is also still in competition in Competition Eliminator. That makes young rookie Nobile the Pro Stock veteran of these two.McGaha's car shook and headed for the wall on the launch and that was a break for Nobile because the usually-quick-leaving Nobile was second off the line. He will not have lane choice when he faces Edwards in round two.
