RAIN WASHES
OUT ELIMINATIONS
IN JIM MCCLURE
NITRO NATIONALS
American
Motorcycle
Racing
Association
national record
holder Tommy
Grimes grabbed
the No. 1
qualifying
position as was
expected, but
that was as far
as he got Sunday
in his pursuit
of another Top
Fuel
championship in
the 23rd annual
Jim McClure
All-Harley Nitro
Nationals at
Rockingham
Dragway.
Rain washed out
the entire
Sunday racing
program at The
Rock, leaving
two-wheel fans
to wonder what
could have been
and leaving
track owner
Steve Earwood
even more
perplexed after
a season marked
by weather
delays and
cancellations.
“I know there’s
nothing we can
do about the
weather,”
Earwood said,
“but, man, this
season has been
brutal on the
racing
community. It’s
been tough to
get through a
whole weekend
without problems
and that’s an
enormous
frustration when
you’re all amped
up to race.”
Before the
weather took
center stage,
Grimes coaxed
Ray Price’s
Raleigh-based
Harley through
the quarter mile
in 6.330 seconds
at 223.21 miles
per hour, a
little off his
national record
numbers (6.197,
227.27 mph) but
good enough to
outpace Texan
Ricky “Sharkey”
House and
several others
including
Japanese
national Takeshi
Shigematsu.
In Pro Fuel,
Philadelphia’s
Kevin Garrow was
the surprise No.
1 qualifier,
edging reigning
series champion
Dale Nilles of
Wilkesboro for
the top spot. In
Funny Bike, Jim
Doyle of
Springfield,
Mass., outran
Rich Vreeland of
Humble, Texas,
Dale Stordeur of
Loveland, Ohio,
and veteran
Armon Furr of
Orangeburg, S.C.
