ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. -- Over 500 racing competitors took the Old Bridge Township Raceway Park quarter-mile today for their final rounds of qualifying and time trials for the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event being held this weekend at the famed facility. The event, which began yesterday, concludes tomorrow with final eliminations in eight Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series categories.
After the final round of qualifying in the 260-mph Top Alcohol Dragster and Funny Car classes, Arthur Gallant and David Ray lead their fields.

Gallant, of Boxboro, Mass., ran a 5.386 second pass at 267.11 mph to out run his fellow Top Alcohol Dragster competitors and earn the field's top spot. Closely qualified behind Gallant in the second spot is Southern California runner, Ashley Force, daughter of NHRA Funny Car racing legend, John Force. Force, the defending event winner here, ran 5.391 seconds at 259.91 mph. She will face Cuddy, Pa., racer Mike Kosky in the opening round. A surprise non-qualifier this weekend is Fanwood, N.J., runner Karen Benkovich, who entering this weekend's event was second in NHRA Northeast Division championship points.

Ray, who hails from Plaistow, N.H., earned the top spot in the Top Alcohol Funny Car class by laying down a 5.711 second pass at 253.23 mph. Holding down the No. 2 and 3 spots are national and division championship hopeful Bob Newberry of Schenectady, N.Y., and Brisbane, Australia native Steve Harker. Morganville's Frank Manzo, who slimly leads the national and divisional point chase in the class over Newberry, is qualified fourth and will face Terryville, Conn., runner Eric Lourie in Round 1.

In other qualifying action this weekend at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, Comp Eliminator driver Allyn Armstrong of Kingston, N.S., Super Stock driver Dennis Stewart of Dover, Pa., and Stock Eliminator driver Bill Hawk of Manassas, Va., all qualified No. 1 in their respective fields.
