In the semifinals, Fuller used a solid. 050 (of-a-second) reaction time to speed to the early lead against Schumacher, but Fuller had to pedal the Valvoline dragster and slowed to a run of 4.879 seconds at 324.05 mph. Schumacher clocked a solid 4.647-second pass to advance to his first final-round appearance of the 2007 NHRA season.
“I’m really excited about our team, ” Fuller said. “I had never won a round at Gainesville and today we went to the semis again. It was a tough weekend. You have to qualify before you can go rounds. Look at what happened to Brandon (Bernstein). Qualifying is never a given.
“After we made that solid run in the first round, that took a lot of pressure off. Our confidence is growing as a team, and our teammate is doing well. You can’t be disappointed over a semi. If you do that every race, you’ll be the champion. ”
The next NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series event is the 20th annual O’Reilly Spring Nationals, March 30-April 1, at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, Texas. Fuller qualified sixth at the Houston race last year.
