There will now be two rounds of qualifying on Saturday for all classes, with the first scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
The second round of qualifying is slated for 12 p.m., with eliminations set to follow in all classes at its regularly scheduled time of 3:30 p.m.
The inclement weather didn't allow for any racing on Friday, leading ADRL officials to decide on two qualifying sessions on Saturday before eliminations for what is another impressive turnout of competitors.
"By having two rounds of qualifying before eliminations on Saturday, it will give fans and competitors the best experience possible for this race," ADRL Director of Competition Tom Grooms said.
The Ohio Drags V is the final ADRL race before October's LenMar Motorsports ADRL World Finals VII, giving ADRL competitors one last opportunity to get into the "Battle For The Belts" field.
With strong car counts in every class, the cooler temperatures and ideal track conditions at a notoriously fast track could lead to a memorable day of racing on Saturday.
"With the ideal weather forecast for Saturday, the good news for the fans and competitors is we could see world record times in every class," ADRL Executive Vice President Jeff Fortune said. "This is an important and highly-anticipated event and there are a number of standout drivers competing for a world championship in every class.
"There is a lot on the line for this race and everyone will be pulling out all the stops to do well, and we want to give everyone the best opportunity to see this world-class racing at a wonderful facility."
