4:57 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 86 degrees, relative humidity 53 percent, barometer 28.39 inches, adjusted altitude 4,392 feet, track temperature 124 degrees. Force and Tasca III have each won 14 times against the other in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round. Force completes his burnout and has trouble backing up. Once he gets back behind the line he has trouble getting it to go forward. Tasca gets a small advantage off then line and starts pulling away. Force keeps losing ground, then the rear of his car starts moving around near the end of the run. He never lifts but can't reel in Tasca. Bob Tasca III's incremental margins: 60ft(0.053), 330 ft(0.072), 660ft(0.087). MOV: 0.1533 seconds (approximately 65 feet). Tasca goes on for the win, his first this year and the fifth of his career.
