A couple of notes.....

Despite the stellar conditions and Brittany's ballbuster pass, nobody is really knocking it out of the park. 10 fuelers entered, August made one tire smoker but didn't show for Q2 and 3. Maybe he just decided to take the qualifier money and call it a day. The funnies are doing fair; 3.86 is low. PS, 2 or 3 high 6.40s at 210-211, par for the course in good conditions. Erica Enders? Whazzup? Q2, massive shake at the hit A-GAIN. Q3, massive shake at the hit A-GAIN. Her reaction times for the 3 rounds were .098, .060 and .080. Come on, girl...get it together.....come on, Team Elite....do something about that heap Enders is trying to drive. That thing has been plagued with that problem for months.

PSM had a 6.70/202 pass, good but not otherworldly considering the 358' DA. And only 9 bikes.

FYI Ron August did not smoke any tires on the one Qualifying run.

Let me preface this by saying I’m a fan of drag racing. Big fan.
However, I remember when the NHRA would sit a racer out for a race or two if they were blowing up stuff on a regular basis. Then the team had to make some positive passes to show that they were able to make clean passes.
My question is why don’t the powers that be have a conversation with Jim Dunn Racing? Get them some help with a tune up that doesn’t blow up?
Someone is going to get hurt or worse if car blows up race after race, year after year.
I’m not saying they’re a bad team but they haven’t been competitive since the early 2000’s.
I respect anyone who goes out and tries their best to field a nitro burning car week in and week out. I can’t imagine how hard it must be.
But at some point someone needs to offer some help or advice to help get them back to competitiveness.
Moderators, if this isn’t within the guidelines of this space please delete it.

It was for leaving oil on the track not necessarily for blowing up.
