Torrence winds up 7th; races Schumacher, Herbert and Foley
Steve Torrence goes after his first round win in four-wide competition Sunday in the second annual Visitmyrtlebeach.com 4-Wide Nationals at zMAX Dragway.
Torrence, driving the Interstate Batteries/USO-NC Top Fuel dragster, starts seventh with a best 1,000-foot lap of 3.856 seconds.
“We smoked the tires on both runs Saturday, but we were trying some different tune-up combinations, too,” he said. “I know we will be ready for eliminations. We want to squeeze more (performance) out of the car and get it down the track.”
Torrence will be racing against Doug Foley (No. 10, 3.868), Doug Herbert (No. 15, 4.006) and Tony Schumacher (No. 2, 3.798) in the opening round that sends the first two finishers into the quarterfinals.
