They probably don't have time to get first round in between the nitro circus. They have enough time for time trials, but if you add in the time it takes to get everybody in the lanes paired up and lined up, I don't think you could do that in between rounds of the nitro circus.

Announced: 1 time run before the Nitro Jam, 1 qualifying run to set the ladder, between Nitro Jam sessions. 1 time run Sunday at 9am and then roll with eliminations.

Good guess, but no... It was George and Laverne Eberst, at Norwalk, with Laverne getting the W!

Track drying taking longer than expected. Revised estimated start time 5:45. Fans have been rolling in. Don't forget to tune in to www.ihra.com for the LIVE video feed from Mark Walter and the rest of the gang at MotorManiaTV!

Water seepage pushed things back some more, but they're finally underway, starting out right away with the Nitro Jam show. We'll get one time trial between Nitro Jam rounds, then our official qualifying run in the morning at 9am

What is the difference between the time run and the "official" time run?

IHRA has been PROless for so long they have fogotten how to manage time, also Jim Weinert being gone doesn't help.

It looks like they have FOUR Pro classes running with a total of 10 vehicles? Thats it?
