3:08 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 79 degrees, relative humidity 23 percent,
barometer 28.89 inches, adjusted altitude 2,897 feet, track temperature 104 degrees. Capp's Team had a lot of excitement and thrashing after the Charger's rear end locked up on the track after his semi-final win. They had to bring the FC back to the pits on a flatbed truck and then go back for the body. Several of the DSR team members from Hagan's crew provided help to hurry and prep the car for the final. They had completed the rear end swap and normal maintenance within 35 minutes. Capps is 8 - 2 against Tasca III in prior events. The extra effort pays off, as Capps takes an easy win. He was off the line first and long gone, when Tasca's Mustang smoked the tires right off the line. Ron Capps' incremental times: 60ft-0.924 sec., 330ft-2.358, 660ft-3.348/258.71 mph. |
