Funny Car No. 1 qualifier Robert Hight didn't mince words in his Saturday evening press conference at the NHRA Winternationals.
"Spray the damn track," Hight said.
Hight said incremental timings in his Q-3 qualifying attempt would have likely resulted in a low 3.83 or 3.84-second run, but the combination of a bump in the track and lack of glue resulted in an aborted run.

Signaling a bit of a departure from traditional NHRA thinking, sanctioning body President Glen Cromwell told Competition Plus Thursday of a seismic shift in marketing.
Cromwell revealed the NHRA plans to launch an aggressive media initiative, promising to promote the drivers through a variety of viewing platforms rather than highlighting the sport’s richly diverse hot rods.
