Mike Adams ran a 6.244 e.t. at 224 mph in Jeff Gaynor's '71 Dodge Challenger, which was good enough for the No. 7 spot in Sunday's eight-car field.

 

"For those who are old enough to remember Funny Cars the first time around, these fuel-burners brought back fond memories of drag racing's glorious past. And for those who were seeing it for the first time, well, let's just say it was an awesome display of pure "old-school" drag racing at its finest. What more could the nostalgia drag racing junkie ask for than to see a 1971 Dodge Challenger Funny Car launch into a wheelstand from the 60ft mark only to touch ground a few hundred feet later? Probably not much. This was just the case when wheelman Mike Adams stomped on the loud pedal of Jeff Gaynor's Funny Car, sending the front end skyward during the first round of eliminations on Sunday. "
