PRICE PACES NITRO HARLEYS
At the other end of the age spectrum, 65-year-old Ray
Price set low E.T. and top speed in qualifying for the Screamin' Eagle
Nitro Harley division, with a track record 6.374 secs at 219.04 mph.

| Ray Price, who is celebrating his 65th Birthday
Tour all year with the IHRA, ran a personal best ET at Richmond. |
Second-place qualifier Johnny Mancuso, who went 6.472
just two passes before Price, said, "You think you lay down a great
pass that nobody can touch and then someone just does something unbelievable
like that. But that's drag racing!"
Mancuso's teammate, Steve Stordeur, was third with a 6.502
and defending class champ Doug Vancil was fourth at 6.579 seconds. Mark
Conner, Mark Cox, Mike Romine, and Jay Turner also qualified for the
eight-bike field.

| Veteran Top Fuel Harley rider Bill Furr recorded
a disappointing DNQ in Virginia after suffering the same fate at
the IHRA season opener in Rockingham, NC. "Bill's having a tough
time right now, but that's only because he's trying a lot of new
stuff," 1998 Nitro Harley champ Johnny Mancuso explained. "He's
trying things now that we'll all be doing eventually. Once he gets
this figured out, watch out, because he'll be way ahead of the rest
of us." |
