Robert Hight has won this race three times and only John Force (6) and Don Prudhomme (4) have more in the Funny Car class...Tim Wilkerson has winning record (14-13) against Robert and they are 4-4 in opening round matches.

These two have each won four races against each other in round one. Wilkerson is 14 - 13 against Hight in prior events.

Another career best ET for Hight, as he runs straight and true right to the finish line unopposed. Nice.

Wilkerson had a good leave and sixty foot time, but kicked the tires right after that.

Robert Hight's incremental times: 60ft-0.890 sec., 330ft-2.289, 660ft-3.224/275.67 mph.
