Saturday Qualifying

Saturdays at NHRA are unique for the Pro Mod class. The teams not only have to make an all-out attempt to qualify but they face the further challenge of the first round of eliminations. Only one team was able to move from the unqualified to qualified list during Saturday’s final qualifying. Shane Molinari recorded a 5.936/250.74 that improved his spot on the list by 10 spots. He went from his out of the race 24 qualifying position to 14th and in the show.

Jeff Naiser

No other team bettered their qualifying time or position in the final qualifying. Due to their crashes Frigo and Gray couldn’t make the call and Doug Winters had problems so they were replaced in the lineup by Jeff Naiser, Bill Glidden and Jim Whitely.
