IHRA TORCO RACE FUELS NORTHERN NATIONALS QUALIFYING REPORT
US 131 Motorsports Park (Martin, Mich.)
Qualifying Dates: August 13-14, 2004
Fastest Qualifying Run: 6.352 seconds (Qualifying Session
1, Friday)
Top Qualifying Speed: 222.03 mph (Qualifying Session 1, Friday)
Qualifying Position: 23rd
Notes:
- This was Carpenter’s first attempt to qualify “The World’s Fastest ’55 Chevy” for an IHRA event since experiencing a devastating crash in May. Repairs to the Embee Performance and Doherty Motorsports sponsored Chevrolet were completed in a remarkable seven weeks.
Charles Carpenter Quote:
“We just don’t have enough runs on the car since the wreck. We have changed to a 728 (cubic inch) engine, installed a full-floater axle, and rebuilt about half of the car. But we learned something of real value in the third qualifying round regarding our set-up. Now we’ll take that to our next event at the Quick 8 race in Jacksonville (N.C.) next weekend and play it out.”
