Wow they are already at a 4.600 bump in Top Fuel

[tony morris]

Here is the sound bite from that run.

http://www.topnitro.co.uk/misc/UErbacherQ2Pomona07.MP3

[Holger Ekerst]

I think he´s gonna make the cut, what do you think Tony?

[tony morris]

Let's hope he makes it, they are just starting with Top fuel round three of qualifying. The funny cars were running good numbers so he has a good chance to run his fastest run ever, his run in Las Vagas made him the fastest Top Fuel racer from Europe. I think he can do it, let keep are fingers crossed.

Tony

[tony morris]

Urs was in the first pair out, right now I only know he run a 4.73 ET. So he is not in the show yet, he has one more shot at that this afternoon.
