O'REILLY NHRA SPRING NATIONALS PRO RESULTS

FUNNY CAR by Todd Veney
"Robert can do this. He's the real deal. I just hope we gave him a good hot rod." – Rookie Robert Hight's crew chief, Jimmy Prock, just before the final round (page 16)

PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE by Kevin McKenna
There was a time when qualifying in the bottom half of the Pro Stock Motorcycle field was a surefire way to beat traffic leaving the track, but those days are long gone. In Houston, four of the top five qualifiers didn't make it out of the first round, and the final featured No. 15 qualifier Karen Stoffer and 12th-seeded Kurt Matte, whose prior record included just one round-win in 22 career starts.
