For Melanie Troxel, she only knows of only one way at Atlanta Dragway – to the finish line. In the 2006 version, in her first time at the track, she marveled all competitors by reaching the final round before being turned back by Doug Kalitta. Despite the warmer conditions predicted for tomorrow, she wants to represent her Vietnam Veterans MIA/POW dragster team in continuing her winning ways in the Peach State.
She will come out of the No. 5 position with her run of 4.525 seconds along with a speed of 324.20 mph on Friday night to race Doug Foley in the opening round of eliminations on Sunday. It’s has been a tuner’s nightmare for some as teammate Morgan Lucas just barely missed the cut to wind up in the 18th position.
