Top fuel drag racing is everything but easy. The lead up to a near 11 o’clock p.m. first qualifying session for the Governor’s Cup began a few days earlier, with a Wednesday start up and load up in South San Francisco. The crew descended from onto the drag strip on Thursday and Friday. The mystery of tire shake stymied a test run on Friday afternoon. A full-track oildown and subsequent wreck pushed out Friday night AA/Fuel qualifying almost to Saturday. From the Wednesday shake out and start up session in South City to a long night wait in the staging lanes at Sacramento Raceway, the collected effort of the Champion Speed Shop team paid off with a Friday night half track blast leading into today’s capitol action. Saturday is here. The Governor’s Cup is on.
