If you're looking for tough, you don't have to look much further than to Mike Edwards. After watching driver
after driver click off lower and lower et's, Edwards turned up the wick
on his ART/Young Life Pontiac GXP to keep his place on the top of the
ladder in the Pro Stock division during final qualifying for the Lucas
Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd Int'l Raceway.
Greg Anderson, second quickest at 6.708, 204.91, predicted from the top
end that Edwards was going to knock him from the top spot.
“I am scared to watch Mike Edwards come down the track,” said Anderson
after making the fastest run of the weekend. Edwards quickly proved
Anderson's fear was legitimate with a near perfect 6.694, 205.39 mph
lap.
