CHARLOTTE, NC (April 29, 2011) – Angie Smith and her Coffman Tank Trucks Buell racing team didn’t have the day they were hoping for today in Houston, Texas.
The drag racing beauty has already had her hands full this weekend and it is only the first day. The first pass of the day, the bike wouldn’t start and the second pass was good, but just not enough to be in the top-12 going into Saturday.
“I couldn’t get it into gear during the first pass, so we never made it down” said Angie Smith. “The second pass was pretty good, but it just wouldn’t run. We have some work to do over night in order to step it up for tomorrow.”
Smith ran a 7.005 et at 190.00 mph, but the cutoff for Friday’s qualifying order was a 6.970 et.
She will have two more shots at it tomorrow, starting at 11 a.m. CDT.
