If I recall Welsh got bounced a few years ago for a rear suspension issue. Maybe he has figured out some new settings to get the car to leave like a small tire no prep car. Sure looks like it.

Watching his semifinal run I’d have to pass, looked more like adrenaline rush than the thrill of victory. Plus now he’ll get the parity hammer.

These cars are in fact a small tire radial car....Just a 30x9 instead of 28. I see some of the class were quicker than Welch's, all increments until the 660, then his car really started moving.

He did get disqualified @ Indy 2018 after he ran the first 7 second run, his DQ had to do with adjustable lower rear control arms which weren't allowed, the rod ends and lock nuts were welded, and had competed @ several earlier NHRA events. Welch's car spends lots of time at Mike Moran's shop in Michigan.
