MORRISON, Colo. -- Courtney Force led a night of track-record performances by racing to the qualifying lead Friday at the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere Speedway.
Teams in all categories took advantage of cool conditions as the racing was delayed until late in the evening after a series of afternoon thunderstorms moved through the area.
Force powered her Chevy Camaro to a track-record time of 3.917 seconds at 318.39 mph to take the qualifying lead. In the first session, her father, John Force, posted a milestone run when he sped to the first three-second Funny Car run in track history at 3.
