LAS VEGAS --NHRA POWERade Funny Car driver Mike Ashley heard his crewchief Brian Corradi make a statement suggesting the Funny Car contingent during the IHRA ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals would be solidly entrenched in the 4.70s. The Knoll Gas – Torco Race Fuels Funny Car driver did his part to back up his tuner’s words by blasting out a 4.787, 326.71 during the second session on Friday.
Ashley’s run served as the eighth quickest on the evening.
“We had a strong opening combination,” Ashley said. “We still had some left over but this gives us a good starting point headed in Saturday qualifying. This was our earlier run but we just had much more power than the track could handle at the time.”
Corradi confirmed Ashley’s comments.
“The track just wasn’t there,” Corradi said. “We never changed a thing between sessions. The track came to us. This was a good safe run and we still have a bit more left in it.
“I don’t know that we’ll get after it a lot more tomorrow. We are certainly going after the 4.70s but it will depend on the weather. That is the great determining factor.”
