<P>RADFORD, VA (July 5, 2008) —The 2nd annual ADRL Shelor Motor Mile Drags will be one day longer than originally scheduled as rain pushed back eliminations to Sunday, July 6, at the eighth-mile Motor Mile Dragway in Radford, Virginia.
One round of qualifying was completed Friday night as scheduled for all four ADRL professional classes, but wet weather consumed much of Saturday’s planned on-track action, allowing only one of two additional scheduled qualifying rounds to be completed in Pro Nitrous, Extreme 10.5 and Pro Extreme Motorcycle. A second round of supercharged Pro Extreme action will open up Sunday’s action at noon before all four classes enter elimination rounds.
Top qualifiers so far include Billy Harper with an outstanding 3.93-seconds at 187.19 mph in Pro Nitrous pole, reigning Extreme 10.5 world champion Steve Gorman with a 4.35 at 166.48 mph, and Charlie Prophit with a 4.32 at 160.54 to lead the Pro Extreme Motorcycle field.
