Sheppard should have been racing the #1 qualifyer, Mike Lozano, but Lozano lost fire in the water box on a single run in the opening round today and was unable to break the beam to advance. Dale Raudenbush riding the championship Jon Miller/ Thiel’s Wheel’s bike advances the final after a win over Karen Wagner.

Elimination’s back underway after a couple of early delays in the opening round. Stephanie will be punching the numbers for you right after the rounds for each class. Check out the ladder pages for today’s results!

The show is underway…but a brief delay has us on hold already. An exciting opening pair-the father and son- The Furr’s battled it out for the biggest tire smoke in the burnout box to start things off and then staged for the race and a tree malfunction interrupts the pass and now a re-run will come later on in round one. In the 2^nd pairing, Joe Timmons was paired with Jim Fagan, and Timmons gets over the centerline to take out a foam block. We are on hold as the timing equipment is replaced and then we are back to the Top Fuel opener. Stay tuned for the results following the Furr’s re-run a little later.

Good morning from the Screamin’ Eagle Arizona Bike Week Nationals! We will begin this morning around 9:00am with a few sportsman categories to narrow down the field sizes.

**Note on yesterday’s Pro Fuel qualifying: Rick Casas of San Antonio, TX was injured in a top end accident in yesterday’s 2^nd round of qualifying. He was transported to a local hospital and is being treated for his injuries that so far have been reported from his crew as a broken wrist punctured lung and lower back injuries. He is in stable condition and spoke with some of his crew on the phone earlier this morning. No word on what caused him to come off the bike, which had just clocked a 4.731 at 170mph in the 1/8^th mile on a nice looking pass-prior to the accident. We will keep you updated on any further reports from his crew on his condition.
