AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NHRA FINALS PRO RESULTS

TOP FUEL by Bruce Dillashaw
"I told [tuner Alan Johnson] before the final round that in about four seconds, we would know if we did something that nobody has ever done, or something that a couple of people had already done." – event winner and 2004 champion Tony Schumacher (page 16)

FUNNY CAR by Steve Waldron
"When I was winning so much years ago, my kids were little and didn't really understand what their dad did. Now it's like I have another life and time to share with my daughters. It's very special." – event winner and 13-time champion John Force, who was happiest of all about his daughter Ashley's win in Top Alcohol Dragster (page 18)
