(W) Cory McClenathan (Fram Tough Guard Dragster 0.123 3.812 311.70
(L) Steve Torrence (Simple Mobile Dragster) 0.073 NT-Broke After Staging
Torrence is 2 - 1 against McClenathan in prior events. Torrence is out of the gate first and then bangs the blower and the chutes are deployed. McClenathan launched hard and keep it hooked up for the win and the quickest pass of the event. Apparently McClenathan used up an engine on the top end as there was a big cloud of engine smoke and the Safety Safari is rolling. McClenathan will have lane choice in the final.
