MORRISON, Colo. -- Leah Pritchett broke the Bandimere Speedway speed record Saturday to lead Top Fuel qualifying in the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals.
Pritchett had a 3.799-second run at 327.19 mph in the final session for her second straight No. 1, third of the season and 10th overall.
"We were putting the coals to it for sure, licking our chops," Pritchett said. "We are on the mountain, this is our sponsor's race, and we are giving it everything we got. We got a new front half on our dragster, and I'm sure glad we did. About halftrack I wasn't sure if the front wheels were on the ground that thing was dancing, and dancing, and dancing.
