11:58 a.m. - Weather conditions: air temperature 70 degrees, relative humidity 27 percent, barometer 29.37 inches, adjusted
altitude 1,708 feet, track temperature 89 degrees. This is the first time Lee has qualified for this race in a Funny Car. He and Wilkerson have raced three times prior to this meeting with Wilkerson winning two of those meetings. This time, they came off the starting line together and were side-by-side to 330 feet. After that, Lee's car made a little sideways move and that gave Wilkerson the chance to pull away. |
