The first round of NHRA Full Throttle Series Pro Class qualifying for this weekend's AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals at Gateway International Raceway is in the books. If, for any reason, no other qualifying rounds can be completed, the field would be set for Sunday's elimination rounds based on the times from this session. That shouldn't be the case, however, as it looks like most, if not all, of the qualifying rounds should be run.
Two rain delays halted Pro Stock qualifying for a total of approximately 40 minutes, but the overcast conditions allowed some fast times for the four classes: Pro Stock Motorcycle, Pro Stock, Funny Car, and Top Fuel. Leading their respective classes after Q1 are: Craig Treble (PSM, 6.920 ET), Mike Edwards (PS, 6.644 ET), John Force (FC, 4.103 ET), and Tony Schumacher (TF, 3.829 ET). In the Get Screened America Pro Mod Series, Danny Rowe earned the top spot for now with a run of 5.955 seconds.
Pro class qualifying should resume at approximately 7 p.m. For the full weekend schedule, click HERE.
