CHANDLER, Ariz. — Robert Hight topped Funny Car qualifying Saturday in the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park.
Hight had a 3.867-second run at 329.91 mph in a California Chevrolet Camaro SS on the final run of qualifying. He’s coming off a victory in the season opener at Pomona, where he also was the No. 1 qualifier.
« That was a fun run, » Hight said. « I had my hands a little full at the other end since I was late with the chutes because I had to keep it off the wall. It was exciting from the step of the gas all the way to the end of the finish line. [Crew chief] Jimmy Prock and [assistant crew chief] Chris Cunningham have a really good handle on these cool and tricky conditions. »
Billy Torrence took the No. 1 spot in Top Fuel, and Bo Butner was the fastest in Pro Stock. Torrence had a 3.667 at 328.46 in the final round, and ran a 6.522 at 211.46 in a Camaro during the first qualifying session of the day.
