Any of you guys watch the Virginia Nationals race yesterday? Track conditions were great and the racing was close. I will not say who won in case somebody hasn't watched it yet but here is how qualifying went after rd.4.
#1 & #2 Qualifiers in P/S ran the same E/T. Only two you say? Check out F/C. The top three Qualifiers ran the same E/T
The deciding factor for placement was the MPH.

Pro Stock had the #1 and #2 qualifier run the same E/T. WJ didn't make the field.
Only .036 separated 1-16
