1:31 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 77 degrees, relative humidity 27 percent, barometer 28.00 inches,
adjusted altitude 3,875 feet, track temperature 101 degrees. This is the first time Whitaker and Tonglet have faced each other in eliminations. Tonglet is number two in the points right now, 74 behind the leader Hines Whitaker's engine died coming out of the burnout and had to be restarted. Whitaker gets out of the gate first, hangs on to the lead for about 400 feet, then Tonglet powers around him and pulls away for the win. LE Tonglet's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.056), 330 ft(-0.029), 660ft(0.007), 1,000ft(0.051). MOV: 0.1043 seconds (approximately 28 feet). |
