3:50 p.m. Hopefully we're back for a while. A light rain has been coming down intermittently, just enough to stop the racing. Tony Pedregon and Troxel have fired the cars twice during the delay only to be shut down after the burnout.

Force is 50 - 22 against Pedregon in prior events. He is 18-4 in the last 22 match-ups. He holds a 10-4 advantage in first round match-ups.

A little progress, the burnouts are complete, the cars are staging. Pedregon gets a huge hole-shot, then Force pedals once about 200 feet out, then goes up in smoke and has to give up on the run. Pedregon goes right down the groove and moves on to the next round.

Head will have lane choice over Pedregon in round two.
