The NSDA Walt’s RV Summer Nationals at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Complex kicked into high gear with some spectacular action on day two. Scott Whipple furthered his strangle hold on the Top Fuel class, lowering his #1 qualifying time with a great 2.232/166.05mph. That MPH with a back up from his Friday night pass is good enough to take the TF World MPH record back. Dan Allen held off a great effort from Gary Mink to hang on to the #1 spot heading into race day.
