Surprised some racers like Record Holder Briane Philbrick and old(ish) hands Vic Guilmino and Jeff Warren who are always in the thick of it did not qualify.

NHRA must be doing something right that so many cars came to quality.
Yet so many complaints about NHRA.

Old hand Paul Mecure took Pole Position with a fantastic warm weather run of -1.523 under index run.
Followed by V/SA Jim Parsons (-1.435), U/SA Gary Summers (-1.317) and U/SA Brian Seaburg (- 1.281).
Amazing effort by lower class Stockers making it in the top five against the PLETHRA (from Three Amigos) of FS cars.

Not impressed every one of theses cars ARE BOGUS But I'm partial to carburators and 8 spark plug wires
