DARLINGTON, S.C. - SUMMIT FastNews - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Show Cars at the 28th annual Prolong Super Lubricants Winter Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
     Right Lane: Mike West        Runs 8.157/190.51, Now #3
                                 Best prior run: 8.354/184.83, Was #3
West picks the pace up a bit on his final pass of the event, breaking into the 190 mph range for the first time. He's made very few passes on the bike and had top-end aero problems in testing, unable to make a full pass because the airstream kept trying to lift him off the bike.
      Left Lane: Ken Nelson       Runs 13.186/98.09, Now #4
                                  Best prior run: 12.843/97.06, Was #4
Nelson gets a little colser to the century mark with the "Cool Bus" wheelstander.
      Left Lane: Toby Ermintraut  Runs 5.091/310.84, Now #2
                                  Best prior run: 5.107/306.67, Was #2
     Right Lane: Jack Dustman     Runs 5.000/317.19, Now #1
                                 Best prior run: 5.059/316.90, Was #1
Ermintraut picks the pace up a bit in the late afternoon air, but so does Dustman, the outcome the same as their first matchup.
