This is the first time Torrence and Faria have faced each other in eliminations. Torrence has won over half of his first round races to date. Faria has yet to win first round in his nine prior encounters. Faria gives it a valiant effort, but has engine issues and slows early. The body panels start to fly off the car near the finish line to boot. Torrance was second off the line, but is quickly out in front by 100 feet or so and flies on down the track on another seventy pass. Steve Torrence's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.011), 330 ft(0.023), 660ft(0.117). MOV: 0.4487 seconds (more than 100 feet). Steve Torrence's incremental times: 60ft-0.837 sec., 330ft-2.145, 660ft-3.024/289.01 mph. |
