Force is on a mission! He is first off the line and runs hard to the finish line. He takes the easy win and goes to his sixth final round in a row with lane choice.

Tasca had a better 60 foot time, but it was too much for the track. The tires are up in smoke and he pedals quickly. The engine drops a bunch of cylinders and then there is a flash of flame from the engine before the 660 lights.

John Force's incremental times: 60ft-0.912 sec., 330ft-2.318, 660ft-3.265/273.94 mph.
Bob Tasca III's incremental times: 60ft-0.903 sec., 330ft-2.503, 660ft-3.866/196.16 mph.
