Nine of the 16 Funny Cars on hand at Pacific Raceways made full passes over two rounds of qualifying. Those really struggling were John Force, Jack Beckman, Gary Densham and Ron Capps. Capps best run was a disappointing 6.953 in the second round.

One driver who didn't struggle in the first round, but limped through the second round was Robert Hight.

“We have dug ourselves a hole in this Auto Club Ford Mustang and we’ve got to get out of it,” reminded Hight. “Nothing is better than getting in the race car and racing every week. I love this Western Swing. That first round was exactly what we needed to do. We don’t need to set the world on fire out there on a 130 degree track. A 4.32 will get you some rounds on Sunday if it is hot like this,” said Hight after his first pass.
