ROBERT HIGHT GET FIRST No. 1 OF SEASON AND FAN WINS BIG

EPPING, NH – Robert Hight raced to his first No. 1 qualifier of the season at the 2^nd annual Auto-Plus New England NHRA Nationals this weekend. It was Hight’s 46^th career No. 1 and his second with crew chief Mike Neff. Hight has now joined all his JFR teammates with at least one No. 1 this season. It is the first time all four JFR drivers have earned No. 1s in the same season.

Hight’s No. 1 time was a track record elapsed time of 3.988 seconds on Friday night and it was the first three second run at New England Dragway. It was the 27^th three second run in NHRA history and Hight has run in the threes on three occasions this season.

“That last round with the 4.06 was pretty stout. We were kind of on our way there on the first run today and right when it locked the clutch up it smoked the tires. (Crew Chief) Mike Neff made a couple tweaks and he told me we were real close to making it go. The closest Funny Car to us was a 4.10 so in this day and age if you have four hundredths on the field that is pretty good,” said a thrilled Hight on Saturday night.

For Hight’s stellar qualifying effort David Levesque from Enfield, New Hampshire won a washer and dry set from BrandSource.
