Interesting stuff.
Yes,Ashley certainly is a draw...I heard after she ran on Friday,the grandstands about emptied.I think NHRA is trying to get "hip" and "trendy" overnight but if they're not careful,I think it's absolutely possible to over expose even John Force!

Having Ashley qualify for her first AA/FC race was huge plus for her team...heck,even the great Kenny Bernstein could crack the quickest F/C field ever.

The mono-strut is closer to reality,I think the NHRA just wants to test some more to be certain everything checks out...I know Hot Rod Fuller & Rob Flynn tested it extensively in Vegas with the Valvoline car.
