FUEL Q2 - SATURDAY
Two cars that had a sub-par
Q1 were the first pair out - Brian Hall and Adam Sorokin.
Both cars improved with Sorokin
running a 6.092 at 221.74 and Hall with a 6.844 at 150.63. Both
made the show with times that would better fit A/Fuel.
Pair two was Brendan
Murry and Tyler Hilton.
Hilton stayed #4 with
his 6.062 while Murry stayed on the bump with his 7.187.
Next out was Pete Wittenberg
and Dan Horan Jr.
Horan went into tire
shake, again.
Wittenberg went from zero to
hero with a 5.863 at 240.94 moving him into the #2 spot.
Horan, to the surprise of all,
was #9, out of the show with hopefully one session left. As it
turned out that 3rd session never came and the 2021 Champ was
the DNQ.
Out next was the poll
sitter Bret Williamson and Tyler Hester.
Williamson dropped the top fuel
hammer again with a 5.789 at 252.90 retaining the #1 spot. Hester
