The latest excerpt from Mendy Fry's NitroKitty.com:
"Funny Car Fever was a weekend of firsts for both myself and McCain's Bomb Squad: I had never posted a 5-second elapsed time in a Nitro Funny Car and MCain's '73 Duster had never run in that zone either.
"Imagine the team's collective surprise when we posted back-to-back 5-second clockings today! The first transpired in the opening round of eliminations, and was at the expense of Dennis La Charite and his menacing Back In Black machine. By virtue of that win, as well as our #1 Qualifier status, we earned a bye run in the second round. (Twelve cars answered the bell for a 16-car show - there was bound to be a solo run for us sometime in today's competition.)
"Even though I ran unopposed in the quarter-finals, I was determined to run quick enough to earn lane choice for out semi-final joust. To that end, we clocked another 5, this time a 5.94 at a set-me-back-in-the-seat 241 mph."
