| Top Fuel - qualifying round 1 - 9pm update |  |
| The first round of Top Fuel qualifying has now been run, and after a good launch by Martin Stamatis, some tyre shake after a .875 60' time and a 2.30 330' time on the cooling track resulted in the blower belt coming off about 300 feet out which saw him coast to an 8.09. Mean time for Phil Read, he also experienced tyre shake after getting to 60' in .866 and 330' in 2.25 shutting off with a 7.66. We'll be back tomorrow reporting on day 2 of qualifying for the 2009 Fuchs Nationals from WSID. |

| 2009 Fuchs Nationals - Day 1 - 5pm update |  |
| It's a nice sunny day here at the Western Sydney International Dragway for the 2009 Fuchs Nationals, and the first round of Top Fuel is scheduled to run at 7.30pm this evening. With no clouds around and a clear blue sky, it is expected to cool off for the first round of qualifying tonight, so the nitro Crew Chief's will be looking closely at the air conditions being careful not to overpower the track, whilst at the same time trying to find the delicate balance to run some quick and fast numbers. Both JRR dragsters are currently getting put back together by the crews, and already some teams are firing up and warming up their engines...so more updates after the first round in 2 1/2 hours... |
