Litton Maintains Top Fuel No. 1 In
Milan
Brand Sets Alcohol Funny Car ET World
Record
Bruce Litton, Indianapolis, covered
the Milan Dragway quarter-mile in 4.581-seconds at 323.50 mph to maintain the
Top Fuel No. 1 qualifying position for this weekend’s Suzuki Motor City
Nationals presented by GM Performance Division and Heritage
Newspapers.
Other No. 1 qualifiers include Dale Creasy Jr. (Nitro Funny Car), Kenny
Lang (Pro Modified), Dale Brand (Alcohol Funny Car) and Pete Berner (Pro
Stock).
Litton established a new track ET record en route to his
Top Fuel No. 1 qualifier, but wasn’t able to earn the Last Man Standing bonus
for the evening. That accolade went to Scotty Cannon, 4.642, 296.50, who ended
up crossing the finish line during the final pass of the night before Litton.
Cannon ended up No. 2, followed by Litton teammate Jeff O’Neill, Todd Paton,
Bobby Lagana Jr. and points leader T.J. Zizzo. Mitch King and Kevin Jones ended
up seventh and eighth. Terry McMillen, who won the last Knoll Gas Nitro Jam
event in Cayuga, Ontario, failed to make the field.
