LIVE from NHRA JEGS Sportsnationals, Columbus

[Michael Beard]

Although we'll see some remnants of summer, particularly tomorrow, we've been treated to a Fall preview here at National Trail Raceway for the NHRA JEGS SportsNationals. 75 Stockers made the first of two qualifying runs, led by Drew Skillman. 4-5 cars were more than a second under, including a stout -1.01 under pass in G/SA by Tom Rambo. It's supposed to hit 77 today, but with overnight lows in the high 40's, it's taking plenty of time to warm up. Jusr before 10am, the weather was 59.7 F, 72%, 29.21, 1230' DA, with a slight cross headwind. One more hit today, and then we roll right into Round 1 at 8am tomorrow (see www.nhradiv3.com for the revised schedule)
